Avian influenza or bird flu refers to the disease caused by infection with avian (bird) influenza (flu) Type A viruses. These viruses naturally spread among wild aquatic birds worldwide and can infect domestic poultry and other bird and animal species. Bird flu viruses do not normally infect humans. However, sporadic human infections with bird flu viruses have occurred.

  • Bird Flu Outbreak Spreads Across US Poultry Farms: 15 Million Birds Affected in 30 Days

    Bird Flu Outbreak Spreads Across US Poultry Farms: 15 Million Birds Affected in 30 Days
    Mar 24 2026
    Bird flu outbreaks continue to sweep U.S. poultry operations, with highly pathogenic avian influenza confirmed in multiple states over the past week. The West Virginia Department of Agriculture announced on March 23 a case in a Kanawha County backyard flock of 220 birds, marking the state's third detection in 2026 and sixth since 2022, according to Farm and Dairy and WV Public. The site is under quarantine after testing at the state's lab in Moorefield.

    Indiana faces severe impacts, with over 350,000 birds lost to HPAI since early March, amid the ongoing largest animal health emergency in U.S. history, Hoosier Ag Today reports. Under Secretary Dudley Hoskins urged strict biosecurity as spring migration heightens risks from wild birds carrying H5N1. The state has depopulated over 10 million birds since 2022, yet production remains strong.

    Iowa reported two more backyard flock cases this month in Washington and Buena Vista Counties, its fifth and sixth in 2026, per Sentient Media. Experts like Iowa State University's Christa Hartsook warn the entire state is at risk during migration, with over 30 million birds affected since the outbreak began. No commercial flocks hit this year, but vigilance is key.

    USDA APHIS data shows 15.2 million birds impacted in the last 30 days across 86 flocks, including commercial sites in Pennsylvania with 870,000 table egg layers, Maryland's 354,100 pullets, Michigan's 51,700 turkeys, and Indiana's 7,600 ducks, as detailed by CIDRAP. An Ohio backyard flock was also affected. Wild bird detections slowed to 25 cases nationwide.

    No human cases reported recently, and cooked poultry, eggs, and pasteurized dairy remain safe. Officials stress biosecurity: enclose flocks, secure feed, limit access, disinfect gear, and report sick birds.

  • Largest Animal Disease Outbreak in US History: Bird Flu Impacts 197 Million Birds as Spring Migration Begins

    Largest Animal Disease Outbreak in US History: Bird Flu Impacts 197 Million Birds as Spring Migration Begins
    Mar 21 2026
    The ongoing highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak in the US has now impacted over 197 million birds since February 2022, marking the largest animal disease outbreak in American history, according to USDA veterinarian Dr. Chelsey Shivley in a Brownfield Ag News report. She warns of rising risks this spring as wild birds migrate north, urging poultry producers to strengthen biosecurity.

    In the past week, USDA APHIS confirmed outbreaks on commercial farms in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Michigan, and Indiana, affecting 15.2 million birds in the last 30 days. Highlights include 870,000 table egg layers in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania; 354,100 pullets in Cecil County, Maryland; 51,700 turkeys in Kent County, Michigan, as detailed by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development on March 16; and 7,600 ducks in Elkhart County, Indiana. A backyard flock in Ohio was also hit, per CIDRAP News.

    Complicating matters, a truck hauling dead bird flu-infected ducks from Maple Leaf Farms crashed into a ditch on US Route 33 in Churubusco, Indiana, Friday morning, prompting a hazmat response and highway closure, Fox News reports. Officials secured the site with no public health threat identified.

    Wild bird detections are slowing, with only 25 confirmed cases nationwide recently, including Canada geese in New York's Bronx, says CIDRAP. Nationwide, about 200 million birds in over 2,100 flocks have been affected since 2022, Iron Mountain Daily News notes, with an expected uptick soon.

    Elsewhere, University of Georgia research published in Scientific Reports reveals 84% of 134 tested black vultures in the southern US carried H5N1, highlighting risks to scavengers. The CDC's latest flu surveillance through March 14 confirms no human H5N1 cases in the US, maintaining low public risk if poultry is cooked properly.

  • Bird Flu Detected in Michigan Poultry as H5N1 Spreads Across US During Spring Migration

    Bird Flu Detected in Michigan Poultry as H5N1 Spreads Across US During Spring Migration
    Mar 19 2026
    Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, or bird flu, continues to circulate in the US with a fresh detection in Michigan's commercial poultry. On March 16, the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development confirmed HPAI in a Kent County flock, the second such case there since 2022. Officials urge bird owners to protect flocks from wild birds during spring migration by enclosing outdoor areas, disinfecting gear, and avoiding shared equipment, as the virus spreads via contact, contaminated items, or caretakers. Public health risk remains low per the CDC, with proper cooking advised for poultry and eggs.

    In California, the H5N1 outbreak among marine mammals at Ano Nuevo State Park in San Mateo County persists but appears limited. UC Davis researchers report 16 dead elephant seal pups, plus a sea otter and sea lion confirmed with the Eurasian strain, first detected there late February. Additional cases are in testing, but most adult seals have migrated away, offering hope for containment. No human transmission from seals noted, though officials warn against contact with sick wildlife.

    Nationally, CDC's latest FluSurv-NET data through March 7 shows no new H5N1 human cases, with seasonal flu declining but 101 pediatric deaths this season, mostly unvaccinated. Globally, no major headlines in the last day, though vigilance rises with migrating birds.
