A bottlenose dolphin in Florida has died from a highly deadly strain of HPAI.
It is the most recent mammal to die from the virus, according to News Channel 8. University of Florida researchers made the discovery following a necropsy on a dolphin that was found suffering in a canal in 2022. A necropsy showed it had contracted a strain of the virus, and it was found with an inflammed brain and leptomeninges disease.
Testing confirmed the presence of avian flu in the dolphin’s brain and lungs.
This is a developing story.
