Risk that B.C. ostriches could spread flu is low, but cull is still warranted, experts say
September 27, 2025
The risk that hundreds of ostriches in southeastern B.C. could still spread the bird flu that infected the flock last December is very low, but remains high enough to continue with a federal cull, veterinary science experts tell The Globe and Mail.
Angela Rasmussen, a virologist with the University of Saskatchewan, said that while it is possible to test the birds for avian flu using a PCR test – the same used to test for COVID-19 in humans – scientists would likely need to take multiple samples to ensure the accuracy of the testing.

Canada’s dream run at the Women’s Rugby World Cup came to heartbreaking end on Saturday with a 33-13 loss to England in front of 81,885 fans, the largest crowd ever to watch a women’s game. The Canadians got off to a fast start, driving down field in the opening minutes. They got an early try when Asia Hogan-Rochester burst down the right side and scored. But England came quickly back with three tries, and a trio of conversions to pull ahead 21-8 at the half.
