Reported 4 months ago

The spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza from poultry to cattle in the United States has raised worries among federal and state authorities. While the virus, also known as H5N1 or bird flu, has been diagnosed in a few dairy farmworkers with mild symptoms, it hasn't triggered major alarm among public health officials. However, the risk of infection escalation remains a concern. Various government agencies and organizations are conducting extensive testing and measures to prevent further spread, especially focusing on dairy farms and potential cross-species transmissions.
