Cases of the H5N1 avian influenza virus in birds have been confirmed in Washington, and disease experts at WSU are asking the public to take measures to avoid spread.
Dr. Laura Williams, a licensed veterinarian at the Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at WSU, is one of fewer than 50 veterinarians in the U.S. board certified in parasitology by the American College of Veterinary Microbiologists (ACVM) and the only one in Washington.
The network is a partnership of 60 animal disease diagnostic laboratories in 42 states dedicated to the early detection of, response to, and recovery from animal health emergencies.
