One of the foremost authorities on highly pathogenic avian flu is concerned the disease will be extremely difficult to control this fall.
Dr. Meghan Schaeffer, a national health advisor and epidemiologist with the SAS Institute, says the last major outbreak in 2015 was eventually contained by enhancing biosecurity, surveillance, and detection.
“But in this particular outbreak the constant perpetuation among those migratory birds is making this almost impossible to control.”
She tells Brownfield detections are already being reported as migration begins across the four major U.S.
