The confirmation of HPAI H5N1 in a common dolphin in Pembrokeshire represents one of several findings in dolphins and non-avian wildlife across GB and is evidence of the effectiveness of the UK’s wildlife surveillance system.  

The presence of influenza of avian origin in mammals is not new, although it is uncommon, and the risk of the H5N1 strain to non-avian UK wildlife remains low.

In response to the unprecedented global outbreak we have worked closely with the other UK Governments to increase our surveillance of cases in mammals through the UK’s avian influenza national reference laboratory and continue to undertake genome analysis of the virus while keeping a close eye on its spread.
