British Columbia’s health ministry says the first suspected human case of avian influenza has been detected in Canada.
A teenager in the province has tested positive for the virus — also called bird flu — which can be fatal. There have been several cases detected in animals, but this is the first time it has crossed over into a human in Canada.
Health officials are trying to determine the source of exposure.
