Australia: 59 dead ibis in Victoria tested for H5N1
Nearly 60 dead ibis were found at Lake Weeroona in Bendigo, Victoria, prompting H5N1 testing by local authorities. No poultry cases have been confirmed in Australia, though wildlife detections have spread across multiple states since Victoria's first case in late July near Portland.
Why it matters: No US impact; wild-bird H5N1 spread in Australia remains outside commercial poultry, with zero confirmed farm cases nationally.
