Data Report

SUMMARY - Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has been detected in a backyard flock of birds in the state of Hawaii. This follows the first-ever detection of HPAI in wastewater in the state although the waste treatment plant in question serves the property where the birds are located. The strain detected in the island state matches that which has affected cattle and poultry in the mainland US. It is presently not known how the birds became infected.
