In this episode, Kylie and Bruce talk with Wil Strickland and dive into the world of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), a severe and highly contagious viral disease that affects both wild and domestic birds. The virus has become a major concern in the poultry industry, causing significant mortality in poultry and posing a serious threat to food security and public health. We’ll break down how this virus spreads through both wild and domestic bird populations, the economic impact on farmers, and the crucial role of biosecurity in managing outbreaks.
