Summary:In summer 2022, highly pathogenic influenza A(H5N1) virus reached the Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) breeding colony on Kent Island, New Brunswick, Canada. Real-time monitoring revealed a self-limiting outbreak with low mortality. Proactive seabird surveillance is crucial for monitoring such limited outbreaks, protecting vulnerable seabirds, and tracing potential zoonotic transmission routes.
