Avian Influenza - Wild Bird Survey (2005)
In August 2005, a national
survey of migratory waterfowl was initiated by the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife
Health Centre (CCWHC) with support from Environment Canada, the provinces, the Canadian
Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the Public Health Agency of Canada, to provide Canadian
animal disease authorities with a better understanding of the strains of Avian Influenza
(AI) currently carried by migratory birds flying through Canada. The national survey
included samples from migratory birds along six flyways.
All of the AI viruses identified in the Canadian testing were confirmed to be low
pathogenic, North American strains.
