The study’s goal is to understand which wild species could be spreaders of this current outbreak, which will fill in a blank on if or how avian flu spreads across the landscape in wild animals to livestock species. (Stock photo)

“What we know right now, birds – and for first time in Minnesota history – wild mammals, as well as domestic mammals have been affected by this virus,” said the principal investigator of the study, Dr. Arno Wuenschmann, during the LCCMR meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 13.
