Chilean health authorities have detected the country's first case of highly pathogenic bird flu in a marine mammal after a 250-kilogram sea lion was founded stranded on a northern beach with respiratory problems.
The agency noted that cases in sea lions have been detected in the United States and Peru. In Chile, a case has also been detected in a penguin. Bird flu is a contagious viral disease that affects both domestic and wild birds, with no known cure. It has occasionally been detected in isolated cases in mammals and humans, though the risk for humans is low.
