Austria detects bird flu in cats

Austria detects bird flu in cats

The discovery, in the southern state of Styria, follows the detection of H5N1 in a dead cat in Germany last week.

That case was thought to be the first example outside Asia of the virus crossing species to infect a mammal.



Not a good sign of times to come. One would assume that these animals at a shelter would be seperated by cages, therefore this is now an airborne mutation.
