The case is the first cetacean ever recorded
in North America with highly pathogenic
avian influenza virus (HPAIV).
The study warns that a highly contagious
bird flu "could be catastrophic"
for cetacean species.
In March of 2022, a dolphin was found
"in distress" in a Dixie County canal and died
shortly after the arrival of a rescue team. .
A postmortem revealed that the dolphin suffered
from a number of health problems, including
leptomeninges disease and brain inflammation.
We still don't know where
the dolphin got the virus and
more research needs to be done, Richard Webby, Director of the World Health
Organization Collaborating Center for Studies
on the Ecology of Influenza in Animals and Birds at
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, via 'Newsweek'.
After first being detected in North America
in 2021, the virus has been spreading
among birds and other mammals.

According to researchers, harbor seals and grey seals
in the area had died from the same virus. A small
amount were also found to have neurological symptoms.
So far, seals and sea lions have
been the primary mammal species
to be impacted by the disease. .
'Newsweek' reports that the recent study highlights the
importance of learning more about the virus in order to
potentially prevent it from spreading to further species.
