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 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.

  • Michigan Avian Flu Alert: Second Commercial Poultry Case Detected in Kent County as Wild Bird Migration Peaks

    Michigan Avian Flu Alert: Second Commercial Poultry Case Detected in Kent County as Wild Bird Migration Peaks
    Mar 17 2026
    Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development reports highly pathogenic avian influenza detected in a Kent County commercial poultry flock on March 16, marking the second case there since 2022. Officials urge bird owners to boost biosecurity as wild birds migrate, emphasizing indoor housing, handwashing, and equipment disinfection to curb spread from wild birds, gear, or caretakers. The CDC maintains public health risk remains low, advising proper cooking of poultry and eggs.

    In brighter news, Georgia is declared bird flu-free after impacting 471,900 birds, though state officials warn farmers of all flock sizes to stay vigilant with biosecurity measures.

    On the West Coast, a UC Davis briefing on March 13 notes a small but concerning H5N1 outbreak in California marine mammals—16 northern elephant seals, one southern sea otter, and one sea lion in San Mateo County. Experts like Christine Johnson call it limited so far, with thousands of healthy animals observed, but advise avoiding sick or dead wildlife and keeping pets leashed on beaches to prevent human transmission, which shows no evidence yet.

    Internationally, Cambodia confirmed its second human H5N1 case this year in a 45-year-old woman exposed to sick chickens, per Outbreak News Today; she's on Tamiflu with a history of high fatality rates over 40 percent in recent infections.

    Research from the University of Georgia reveals over 84 percent of tested black vultures carry H5N1, highlighting risks to scavengers that could amplify spread beyond typical seasons.

  • H5N1 Bird Flu Spreads Through US Poultry Farms and Wild Animals in 2026

    H5N1 Bird Flu Spreads Through US Poultry Farms and Wild Animals in 2026
    Mar 14 2026
    Bird Flu Update: US Poultry Hits Hard as Wild Cases Emerge

    In the latest developments on highly pathogenic avian influenza, or H5N1 bird flu, Michigan's Department of Agriculture and Rural Development reported on March 12 the first detection in a Kent County commercial poultry flock since 2022. State Veterinarian Dr. Nora Wineland urged bird owners to protect flocks from migrating wild birds carrying the virus, emphasizing biosecurity like enclosing outdoor areas and disinfecting gear. The CDC maintains public health risk remains low, with proper cooking of poultry and eggs key to prevention.

    Indiana saw eight outbreaks last week in Elkhart, Lagrange, and Jay counties, per USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service reports cited by CIDRAP, including a major hit to 20,600 turkeys in Jay County. Wisconsin reported two large egg-layer farm losses exceeding 3 million birds in Jefferson and Walworth counties. Over the past 30 days, APHIS confirmed 77 US outbreaks affecting 13.98 million birds across 41 commercial and 36 backyard flocks.

    On the wild front, UC Davis researchers updated March 13 that California's H5N1 outbreak in elephant seals at Ano Nuevo State Park has spread to a sea otter and sea lion along the San Mateo coast. The Eurasian strain, with mammal-transmission mutations, killed 47 seals so far, mostly pups, but experts like Christine Johnson express cautious optimism as adult females have mostly departed. Testing continues amid slowed wild bird detections nationwide.

    Pennsylvania tallies over 7 million bird deaths in 2026 from farm and wildlife outbreaks, per South Philly Review. Globally, the virus persists in wild populations, but US human cases stay rare at 71 since 2024, with two deaths.

    Authorities stress vigilance: report sick birds immediately and follow prevention steps.
