Experts have identified a probable cause for the seal deaths in Dagestan
Scientists have hypothesized a link between the seal deaths in Dagestan and the spread of avian influenza. They believe the mass deaths, regularly observed over the past three years, may be caused by the autumn-winter migration of birds, which carry the virus. During this period, seals' immune systems may weaken, making them vulnerable.
The Kompas Foundation, which works to preserve seals, supports this theory, citing studies in Kazakhstan that point to virus-associated pneumonia as the primary cause of death. Final conclusions will be made after laboratory test results are available.
Earlier, approximately 500 dead seals were reportedly found on the coast of Dagestan.
