Bird flu virus confirmed in Wild Merganser found in Milwaukee
Milwaukee – laboratory tests identified a highly pathogenic H5 (HPAI) influenza virus in a wild fur gathered from Milwaukee counties last week. The tests were completed at the National Wildlife Health Center at the US Geological Survey in Madison.
DNR received reports about the diseased or dead birds, mainly Mergangers, along the shoreline Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosh. In total, these reports included less than 50 birds. From mid-December, the H5 HPAI virus has been detected in six poviats-Dane, St. Croix, Wood, Brown, Racine and Milwaukee. Most mortality reports concerned swan and Canadian goose.
“Pita flu is still present in Wisconsin and we see that it affects birds in isolated areas throughout the state,” said Jasmine Batten, supervisor for the health of wildlife. “HPAI detecting this winter in wild birds remained relatively low. The best advice we can give is to remain aware and avoid servicing wild birds as possible.”
According to public health officials, the risk for the general public of bird flu is low. Despite this, people should avoid dealing with a diseased or dead wild nature or allowing their animals to contact a diseased or dead wild nature, if possible.
