Weed Science Society of America Invasive Plant Spotlight: Algae-Harboring Hydrilla Causing Bald Eagle Deaths in the Southeast

The Weed Science Society of America brings awareness to the issues surrounding invasive plants. The aquatic invasive plant hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata) harbors a blue-green algae which is potentially toxic to birds.

Eagles that prey on infected waterfowl contract the disease and perish as well. (PRWeb Apr 1, 2008)
