**78 UK Bird Species Test Positive for Avian Flu** * **August 22, 2023** Avian flu has spread rapidly among UK bird populations, with 78 species testing positive for the virus. This includes most of the country's breeding seabirds. The virus has been found in a wide variety of bird species, including ducks, geese, swans, gulls, and terns. It is a highly contagious disease, and can quickly spread through flocks. The outbreak has raised concerns about the potential impact on bird populations. Seabirds are particularly vulnerable, as they congregate in large numbers and often have close contact with other birds. The government is monitoring the situation closely, and is working to develop plans to mitigate the impact of the virus. This includes measures to protect vulnerable bird populations and to prevent the disease from spreading to humans. British health officials are also preparing plans to deploy lateral flow tests if signs emerge that the virus is spreading to humans. Lateral flow tests are rapid, inexpensive tests that can detect the virus in respiratory samples. The government is urging the public to report any dead or sick birds to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). This will help Defra to track the spread of the virus and to take appropriate action.

**Avian Flu Confirmed in Antarctic Penguins and Other Wildlife** **South Georgia, December 23, 2023** The first known cases of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in the Antarctic region were detected among brown skua on Bird Island off South Georgia in October 2023. Two months later, hundreds of elephant seals on the island tested positive for avian flu. According to experts, the arrival of the virus is believed to be the result of natural pathways. Bird flu has now been confirmed in 10 penguins on South Georgia, a renowned wildlife sanctuary. Avian influenza has also infected other seabirds and mammals, including the elephant seals. The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) operates two research stations in South Georgia, including the one at Bird Island where the bird flu cases were confirmed. The BAS is closely monitoring the situation and taking measures to prevent further spread of the disease. HPAI continues to affect the wildlife on the sub-antarctic islands of South Georgia. The latest results from samples taken from the islands indicate that the virus is still circulating among the bird and mammal populations.
