Welcome to part 2 of our series on HPAI aka highly pathogenic avian influenza.

Today we continue our deep dive into the fascinating yet unsettling world of avian influenza. In part 1, we explored how these viruses leap from birds to marine mammals, unraveling their ecological and health implications. This time, we shift our focus from New England to Argentina.

Today we embark on the first of a two-part deep dive into a topic that's as fascinating as it is unsettling: avian influenza.

Joining us is Dr. Wendy Puryear, a leading virologist who’s pioneering work on the H5N1 strain of avian influenza has revealed some startling truths about how this virus spreads and the profound impacts it has on wildlife, particularly marine mammals.
