The FWC said it has identified a presumptive case in Duval County.
FWC said it has been investigating deaths of various bird species believed to be caused by Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza , commonly referred to as bird flu. There have already been confirmed cases in Volusia, Brevard, Martin and Charlotte counties.
While there are concerns when it comes to birds, FWC said there is a low risk of bird flu transmission to humans and there have been no known human infections in North America. To prevent the spread of HPAI, the public should avoid handling sick or dead wildlife, prohibit the contact of domestic birds with wild birds, and report wild bird mortalities so die-offs can be investigated. FWC said that because HPAI is very contagious and not treatable in wild birds, some wildlife rehabbers may not be accepting these animals at this time.The H5 2.3.4.
