Alertă sanitară în Australia: Primul caz de gripă aviară confirmat la un mamifer

Australia has confirmed its first case of H5N1 avian influenza in a mammal, detected in a dead seal found in Beachport. This marks a significant development in the ongoing outbreak that began in June. The virus has previously affected birds, leading to mass deaths among marine birds. Authorities warn of potential severe impacts on wildlife as the virus spreads. H5N1, first identified in 1996, poses a global threat due to its high transmission rate and mortality among various species.
