A new year brings new questions and more insights to the topic of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza. Dr. Mike Brasher is joined by leading experts in the field of avian influenza, Dr. Dave Stallknecht, Dr. Richard Webby, and Dr. Jennifer Ballard to discuss the current status of avian influenza, what we’ve learned since 2022, and what we still don’t understand. Recent changes have been noted in the genetic code of the circulating virus, but what does this mean for the risk it poses to birds, mammals, and humans? How do we study these changes? What waterfowl species are most affected, and do we understand why these effects differ among species? Also discussed is recent science about risks to hunting dogs, what hunters need to do if they observe sick or dead birds, why hunters should be vigilant about being tested for avian flu if they feel ill, and how we can all work to reduce the likelihood of the virus becoming more severe. Tune in for an information-packed episode that is of growing relevance to everyone.
