First case of deadly H5 bird flu confirmed in Australia | ABC NEWS
A migratory bird found on a remote beach in Western Australia has brought the deadly H5 variant of bird flu into Australia for the first time.
Australia, which was the last continent in the world where the disease had not spread, has spent years and millions of dollars preparing for such a biosecurity breach.
Extensive efforts are being made to protect the poultry industry from any potential spread of the virus, relying on protocols and training already in place.
