Locations of wild mammals naturally infected with HPAI A(H5N1) virus, United States, April‒June 2022. A) Eastern region; B) midwestern region; C) western region. If exact location could not be identified, the county centroid was used. Blue indicates counties with positive detections of HPAI H5N1 in wild birds during March‒August 2022. HPAI, highly pathogenic avian influenza.
