A virus similar to the bird virus has killed seals in New England. Since September 2, 162 seals were found dead from Massachusetts to Maine. It was determined after testing that they died from a bacterial pneumonia by an influenza virus known as H3N8. There is a low risk that it can be transmitted to humans. This virus has been transmitted to horses and dogs and they usually recover. "Concerns about why the virus jumped specie and the reason is important" stated Catherine Brown, State Public Health Veterinarian.
