A new research published in Nature Communications detailed the extent of how the highly pathogenic avian flu virus #H5N1 rapidly spread into wildlife on Antarctica. Genetic assessment found the virus spread from South America, likely through migratory birds, and infected a range of birds such as black-browed #albatross, #skuas, kelp #gulls and even two #seal species.
