Quick Glance: Unanswered Inquiries Regarding Advancing Avian Flu in U.S. Cows
  • The advancing spread of avian flu in U.S. dairy cattle continues to raise numerous questions. Scientists emphasize the minimal risk to humans, but uncertainties persist regarding the dissemination and impact of the virus.

  • Despite confirming the virus in nine states and over 30 herds, the actual scope of spread remains ambiguous due to insufficient testing.

  • Researchers express concerns about potential public health implications, the infectivity of the virus in milk, and its transmission. Only one human infection has been officially recorded amid the ongoing outbreak.

  • Experts hold differing views on the human risks as the virus persists among cows. The mutation possibility poses a potential threat to human health.

Quick Glance: H5N1 Strain of Bird Flu in Milk from Infected Cows, WHO Reports
  • The H5N1 bird flu virus strain has been detected in very high concentrations in raw milk from infected animals, the WHO said, though the survival time of the virus in milk is unknown.

  • Since 2020, the number of outbreaks in birds has exponentially increased, along with infections in mammals.

  • Deaths of millions of poultry, along with infections in wild birds and land and marine mammals, have been reported.

  • Transmission from bird to cow, cow to cow, and cow to bird have been recorded, suggesting possible new transmission routes for the virus.
