Even though it maybe shouldn’t have been, it was somewhat surprising to learn that on August 22, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) was confirmed a commercial broiler breeder flock in California.
After all, it had been nearly a month since HPAI was found in a commercial flock in the United States. And then there’s the fact that we’ve all been told that viruses tend to not thrive in warm weather. We also know that during the 2015 HPAI outbreak in the United States, the last confirmed case occurred in June.
