Your avian flu questions, answered
A virulent strain of bird flu has been reported at three turkey farms in Minnesota. Health officials say they don't know how the virus got there, and the state has set up an incident command team to prevent transmission.
The bird flu has Minnesota's turkey farmers on edge. Minnesota is the nation's top turkey producer, raising about 46 million birds each year and employing 3,900 people in the state.
Three guests joined MPR News' Marianne Combs to answer listener questions about avian influenza.
