Yes, but it's a right fine petri dish we've got going here. Seems like Avian Flu likes mammals and rodents too, and it's not particular about which ones it hangs out in either. https://www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poultry-disease/avian/avian-influenza/hpai-detections/mammals https://www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poultry-disease/avian/a... I'm not sure why the Telegraph got all bent out of shape over a few mice in New Mexico. If you scroll down and look at the table provided in the link above you will see that 17 domestic cats in 8 different states have tested positive, 17 cases in raccoons in various states, Over 90 cases in red foxes, around 40 cases in skunks, and 6 cases reported in possums, and many others. So it spreads to any carnivorous or omnivorous mammal that feeds on birds, birds' eggs or scavenges their carrion. As well as a some that are probably getting it transmitted by some secondary means, such as contact with feces, eating another infected mammal or rodent, drinking cow's milk, etc. It does not appear that it is spreading from species member to species member, except maybe for the red fox? A lot of this data is from 2022 and 2023. Not sure if they are no longer detecting it, or no longer testing a given species. You can read at the top of the page that there is no systematic testing of wild mammals, and that they are getting this ad hoc from "reporting agencies".
