Avian influenza found in South Carolina

[MGG]

I have a quick question I've been curious about, can AI be transferred through eggs?
I'm not getting any eggs or anything but I was just curious. Haven't found an answer to this anywhere yet.

I'm not finding a definite answer either.


Since we are being warned about clothing and shoes, I assume it could travel on eggshells or on the box eggs are shipped in

One of the webinars I listened to said they weren’t sure, but if you are incubating eggs, any AI would most likely be killed due to the high temps in the incubator which would kill off the virus.

No, it’s not likely to be transmissible through eggs you eat or incubate.

There is a paper that says there can be vertical transmission in geese

The paper didn't talk about embryo survival; if those infected goslings would all die in the shell, rather than living to reproduce.

Interesting study of how different species of wild birds can be a bridge host of AI between waterfowl and poultry. Rather recent too. published 2020. Long read, been through it once but need to read this again.

I assume they will foam then compost?
