Avian influenza is spreading rapidly in wild birds throughout Ontario, and we can’t get wild bird carcasses shipped to the lab fast enough.  Starting immediately, we are looking for volunteers from around the province to fill a critical gap in our process.  If we receive reports of dead wild birds in your area, we will provide you with coolers, shipping materials, PPE, and pre-paid shipping labels and ask you to pick up the carcass and send it in to us for testing.

This is One Health in action – don’t miss out on your chance to be a vital part of this response!  Interested?
