Ep. 490 – Global Insights on Avian Flu: Are Waterfowl Hunters at Higher Risk?

Dr. Richard Webby, faculty member at St Jude Children’s Research Hospital and global expert on influenza viruses, joins Drs. Mike Brasher, Karen Waldrop, and DU staff for a look back on the 2022 Avian Flu outbreak. In this science-heavy episode we ask where it came from, is it here to stay, and what can we expect going forward? We also learn why it is showing up in mammals and what this means for our pets. Also, will mutations increase the human health risk and are waterfowl hunters at higher risk? www.ducks.org/DUPodcast
