H5N1 Virus Spreads to South Australia

Dead seabirds found on South Australian beaches have sparked alarm over possible spread of the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus, which has already killed millions of chickens in the U.S. and been confirmed in Western Australia.

Farmers are tightening biosecurity measures, and experts warn the virus can infect many animals — including pets — urging the public to report any sick or dead birds immediately and keep cats indoors to avoid exposure.
