Director of the  Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Keith Creagh said the state is now focusing on preventing the spread of the disease to poultry.
Over 46 million chickens and turkeys have been killed across the US by the disease, or culled to prevent spread of the disease.

The director of the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Jamie Clover Adams said it wasn't unexpected that the disease had been found in the state "given avian influenza has been found in a number of our neighboring states and Ontario”
