Decrease in avian flu cases detected in the Mingan Islands

Radio Canada
Posted at 7:31 a.m.

The number of avian flu cases reported to the authorities of the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve is down, compared to the beginning of the summer.

A little less than a hundred carcasses of birds, probably affected by avian flu, have been reported in the National Park Reserve of the Archipel-de-Mingan.

The carcasses that could pose a risk to visitors were picked up, while the others were left behind.

Considering the vastness of the national park, the carcasses found represent only a very small sample of the total cases of bird flu that have infected the birds in the park. This is according to Aurore Pérot, conservation manager at the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve.

What we could observe was really the places where employees or visitors went, so we don't have an overall picture of the whole park , she explains.

Visitors only visit a tiny part of the islands, the largest and not the islands where there are large colonies of birds , continues Ms. Pérot.

Despite everything, the conservation manager can say that a peak in infections was reached between mid-July and the end of July and that a decrease in the number of carcasses discovered is now noticed.
...
Outstanding questions

It is still difficult to say whether the avian flu epidemic will have an impact on the health of bird populations and on the ecosystem of the archipelago. In the long term, however, an analysis should be possible thanks to the data already collected in the national park reserve.

There are a few species that are more susceptible than others, such as the common eider or the gull. We have this advantage that in our monitoring program for the state of the park, these are birds that we have been following for a very long time, decades , explains Aurore Pérot.

“ Eiders and gulls are part of our monitoring, so over time we will be able to see the impact on these populations. »
— A quote from Aurore Pérot, Conservation Manager, Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve

It is also likely that the disease will continue to infect seabirds in the coming years.

Contamination of wild birds resumes


“We had a lull in August, but with the return of snow geese and Canada geese (photo) this fall, we are starting to have cases again,” explains Stéphane Lair, director of the Quebec Center for Wild Animal Health. .

The contamination of wild birds with avian flu continues in Quebec, but at a slower rate than in the spring.

LA PRESSE

H5N1 was detected in approximately 200 wildlife birds between April and the end of July in Quebec. After having identified no cases in August, autopsies carried out on birds found dead in the wild revealed 15 new cases of avian flu in September.

“We had a lull in August, but with the return of snow geese and geese this fall, we are starting to have cases again,” explains Stéphane Lair, director of the Quebec Center for Wild Animal Health.

This fall, avian flu was detected in Canada geese and snow geese, but also in a pintail, an American black duck, two garganeys and a ring-billed gull. Citizens reported the presence of dead birds to the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. Positive cases have been identified in Lachute, Sainte-Anne-de-Sorel, Venise-en-Québec, Cap-Tourmente and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

These are pretty much the same places as last spring. These are places where there are migratory stopovers and where there is a high density of snow geese or geese at the same time. For the moment, we have not had a case in Baie-du-Febvre as in the spring, but it should happen.
Stéphane Lair, Director of the Quebec Center for Wild Animal Health

The disease is most often spread among birds that live in colonies. Mr. Lair also refers to the hundreds of common eiders that were found dead in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region last spring, and to the carcasses of gannets that litter the beaches of Gaspésie -de-la-Madeleine.

Necrophagous birds also contract the disease. This is the case for gulls, bald eagles and turkey vultures, which are species that live in Quebec year-round. “If they eat a carcass or catch a sick bird, that's how they get infected. It's the same for crows and ravens that are scavengers,” says Lair.

"Worrying"

Veterinarian Jean-Pierre Vaillancourt says the excretions of infected birds – such as their droppings and nasal secretions – also contaminate the environment. The virus does not live long on dry surfaces; it prefers humid places and cool temperatures such as the edge of waterways, where many birds hang out, underlines the professor from the University of Montreal.

“It is worrying because environmental contamination is what can lead to the contamination of domestic [farmed] birds,” explains Professor Vaillancourt.

“For farmed birds, contamination is most often going to be through equipment, boots or a person's hands. The virus will be brought in this way inside a building where domestic birds are kept, ”he adds.

Chickens, turkeys, ducks or any other farm birds get sick from pecking at infected soil.

The veterinarian says that researchers are currently looking into the transmission of bird flu by aerosol. Also, studies are conducted on flies and mealworms. In Japan, researchers collected flies within a radius of 3 km around an infected farm. A third of the insects had virus particles on their bodies, notes Mr. Vaillancourt.

In Canada, 967 wild birds or mammals have tested positive for H5N1, according to an interactive table overseen by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), since November 2021. “This is a serious reminder for anyone who keeps birds to remain vigilant for highly pathogenic avian influenza and to ensure that they have effective biosecurity measures in place,” the CFIA wrote in an email sent to La Presse .

Note that the first case of avian flu in Quebec was listed in April 2022.

A small sample

Matthieu Beaumont, wildlife biologist at Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), explains, however, that the statistics on avian flu in wild birds represent only a small sample. Not all bird carcasses are picked up. Autopsies are carried out only on certain specimens after the report of a citizen, he recalls.

“It's very useful for monitoring the disease, but it's not a method for measuring the impact on populations. It's done to know when the disease arrives in a given area in a given species,” says the emergency response coordinator at ECCC.

The Ministry of Forests, Wildlife and Parks of Quebec confirms for its part that avian influenza has spread in all regions of Quebec. "It remains possible that other mortality events of varying intensity in wild birds will continue to be detected sporadically in the coming months," the ministry wrote in an email.

Suspected cases of avian flu: geese die by the dozen

Anouk Lebel | The Journal of Montreal| Published on November 29, 2022 at 00:00 - Update at 09:21

Avian flu is hitting dozens of snow geese on a migratory stopover along the Richelieu River in Montérégie, which is causing concern among residents.

“They act as if they were poisoned, they are not like they are there,” worries Jacques Cardinal, a retiree from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

Coming to take his traditional migration photos, he found at least fifty dead geese and others in agony on the shore, something he had never seen in thirty years.

"It can be dangerous, the children play with it, they could touch it," adds his friend Daniel Martel, desperate by the inaction of the authorities, who should have removed the carcasses days ago, according to him.

L'Arche de Zoé, a shelter for farm animals and wild animals in Saint-Blaise-sur-Richelieu, has received many calls about this in recent days.

“The geese, in normal times, it is very difficult to capture them. But a lot of people had brought them home and hoped that we could treat them,” explains owner Marie-Claude Poirier.

Avian Flu

Everything indicates that geese are infected with ...avian influenza virus, according to Stéphane Lair, professor at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Université Montréal.

“We received some from Saint-Jean, but also from Saint-Paul-d'Abbotsford, which we sent for analysis. [...] it is sure that it is that , indicates it.

The animal health specialist explains that the virus arrived in Quebec in the spring, but causes a more “spectacular” mortality this fall.

And it is in particular because the geese are gathered in the same place for their migration to North Carolina from the Arctic that the virus spreads quickly.

They also rub shoulders with ducks who are asymptomatic carriers and contribute to the spread, he explains.

“It's like COVID, it's a question of contacts. It's like an office party,” he says.
...
Called to react, the Ministry of Forests, Wildlife and Parks did not respond to our request last night.

Centre-du-Québec: new carcasses of dead geese found

AMELIE PAQUETTE
Monday, 5 December 2022 20:27
UPDATE Monday, 5 December 2022 22:02

After Montérégie last week, it is now Centre-du-Québec's turn to find itself in the presence of dead geese, which would have contracted avian flu.

Several dead birds were found in Drummondville and Victoriaville.

Every morning, Philippe Halo walks along the Saint-François River, near Drummondville's municipal beach, to observe birds. For several weeks, the pensioner, who is also a fan of hunting, finds carcasses of dead geese on the edge of the banks every day.

“There were more and more people dying every day. It varies between 15 to 30 geese per day [according to my estimates]. I don't like it, because it's not a good sign. I'm a hunter by the way. When you see such a thing, you think of avian flu,” explained the pensioner, who contacted the Ministry of the Environment, the Fight against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks to report the presence of these birds.

Several tens of kilometers further, in Victoriaville, nearly 200 carcasses of dead geese were picked up this weekend, at the Beaudet Reservoir, during an operation carried out jointly by the firefighters of the City of Victoriaville and the Protective Society of animals of Arthabaska (SPAA).

Quebec has confirmed that it has received reports of dead geese in Drummondville and Victoriaville.

“We still have confirmations that in the areas of Drummondville and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, we had the presence of avian influenza in wild birds. It must be remembered that these wild birds are the natural reservoir of the avian influenza virus. It is normal to observe it in these populations. They are the ones who will spread the virus along the migratory corridors,” explained Ariane Massé, biologist in the biosecurity and wild animal health division at the Ministry of the Environment, the Fight against Climate Change, Wildlife and Wildlife. Parks.

A surveillance program for avian influenza in wild birds is underway. With this project, nearly 800 specimens were analyzed in the province, including about fifty in Centre-du-Québec. The biologist wishes to reassure the population, and recalls that this virus is difficult to transmit to humans. If you find a carcass, it is recommended that you do not handle it and report its presence to the relevant authorities.

Avian flu: gannets in better shape

May 9, 2024
Published by Philippe Pesant-Bellemare

Nearly two years after the massacre suffered by the gannets of Rocher aux Oiseaux due to avian flu , the mortality rate seems to have decreased significantly.

At least that's what the data collected by the Canadian Wildlife Service indicates, according to biologist Jean-François Rail, who specializes in migratory birds.

He explains that the species could have developed a form of resistance to the virus, or that it could have become “less pathogenic”.

According to him, this downward trend is expected to continue in 2024.

However, an aerial inventory will be carried out in Quebec gannet colonies in order to monitor their level of mortality.

Asked about the species' ability to regenerate, Mr. Rail expects the number of individuals to remain rather stable.

First appearing in Asia and Europe in 2020, the H5N1 avian influenza strain spread to North America in 2022 with the arrival of migratory birds .

The number of gannets established at Rocher aux Oiseaux then experienced a decrease of approximately 58% compared to previous years , according to data collected by the Canadian Wildlife Service.

On the Islands, the carcasses of birds which were found by the thousands on the beaches of the archipelago had left their mark.
