Avian Flu - Waterfowl
Wild birds have carried influenza viruses for hundreds, maybe even thousands of years without being ill. Avian flu or bird flu has become more of a concern because of a particular type of influenza virus known as the highly pathogenic (HP) form of H5N1. Even if wild birds become infected with the H5N1 virus, the potential for people to become infected will remain extremely low. Manitoba, which is on a major migratory route for wild bird populations, is working cooperatively with the federal government and other jurisdictions to ensure that surveillance efforts, control measures and response plans are in place and ready in the event that the HP H5N1 variety of avian flu arrives in North America. Properly cooking domestic and wild poultry products kills the virus. Eating fully cooked poultry and wild birds is not a health risk for people. Hunters who harvest game for food can still continue to hunt and cook wild game safely by taking simple precautions.
