CSU researcher using clams to detect bird flu (The Fort Collins Coloradoan)
A CSU researcher is testing an innovative way to detect bird flu: clams. The virus spreads between birds when they consume water containing infected feces from other birds. The clams being used by researchers live in the water, and while they don't get sick, do pick up the virus.
