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.

  • Watchful Vigilance: US Officials Monitor Avian Flu Threat as Virus Circulates Globally

    Watchful Vigilance: US Officials Monitor Avian Flu Threat as Virus Circulates Globally
    Dec 13 2025
    U.S. health officials say the overall risk to the public from bird flu remains low, but surveillance is tightening as the virus continues to circulate in birds and some mammals worldwide.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that, as of its latest weekly update for early December, no sustained person to person transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza has been detected in the United States. CDC says current human infections linked to birds or animals remain rare, sporadic, and closely monitored.

    In Washington State, Grant County health officials announced Friday that their recent avian influenza outbreak in a commercial poultry operation has officially been declared over. According to the Grant County Health District, no human cases were identified among workers or contacts at that site, and all response activities have been completed. The agency stressed that while the risk to humans remains low, people who work with poultry or other potentially infected animals should continue using protective gear and follow biosecurity guidelines.

    Nationally, detections of bird flu in wild birds and backyard or commercial flocks continue to be reported during the fall migration period, and federal and state agriculture departments are culling affected flocks, restricting movement, and expanding testing to limit spread. Public health agencies are also watching dairy cattle, after previous detections of avian influenza virus in raw milk from infected herds, although pasteurized milk remains safe to drink according to U.S. food safety authorities.

    Globally, the virus is still taking a toll on wild birds and poultry. The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy reports suspected highly pathogenic avian influenza behind large die offs of wild geese and other birds in parts of Canada, including southern Manitoba, and in locations as far away as Hawaii. These events underscore concerns among scientists that the virus is now entrenched in wild bird populations, raising the risk of repeated spillovers into domestic flocks and occasional mammal infections.

    Health experts continue to advise avoiding contact with sick or dead birds, not handling raw milk from ill animals, and reporting unusual die offs to local authorities. Officials emphasize that people who develop flu like symptoms after close contact with infected birds or mammals should seek medical care and mention that exposure.

  • "Intensifying U.S. Bird Flu Surveillance Amid New Infections and Research Findings"

    "Intensifying U.S. Bird Flu Surveillance Amid New Infections and Research Findings"
    Dec 11 2025
    U.S. bird flu surveillance is intensifying this week as new animal infections and fresh research findings keep H5 viruses in the spotlight.

    In Texas, Focus Daily News and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department report highly pathogenic avian influenza detections in multiple regions of the state, prompting warnings to hunters, landowners, and poultry producers to avoid contact with sick or dead wild birds and to tighten farm biosecurity. The San Antonio Express News notes Texas poultry producers are bracing for possible supply disruptions and higher egg prices if outbreaks spread in commercial flocks.

    In Delaware, the state Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control announced that a sick snow goose found in eastern Kent County has tested presumptive positive for H5 avian influenza, the first such detection in a snow goose there this season. Delaware Online reports officials are urging poultry and livestock owners to keep domestic birds away from wild waterfowl, restrict farm visitors, and follow strict cleaning and disinfection protocols.

    On the human health front, Iowa Public Radio highlights new research indicating that mammary glands in humans, sheep, and other livestock may be capable of harboring H5N1, raising questions about how the virus behaves in dairy herds and whether milk tissue could be a reservoir. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cited in that report, says at least 71 people in the U.S. have been infected with H5N1 so far, with two deaths, almost all tied to close contact with infected birds or dairy cows and no confirmed person to person spread.

    Globally, the World Health Organization’s Western Pacific office reports 30 new highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks in animals from late November to early December, including major H5N1 events in Japanese poultry and wild birds and additional cases in wild birds in South Korea. Separately, My Vet Candy reports that nearly nine million poultry have been culled worldwide since October, with large losses in the United States, Canada, and Germany, and experts warning that migratory birds continue to drive international spread.

    Public health agencies continue to stress that the overall risk to the general public remains low, but they advise avoiding contact with sick or dead birds and thoroughly cooking poultry and eggs.

  • Avian Flu Outbreak Sparks Alarm Across the US and Globally

    Avian Flu Outbreak Sparks Alarm Across the US and Globally
    Dec 9 2025
    Bird flu continues to pose significant threats across the United States and globally as outbreaks reach unprecedented levels. In a concerning development, over 70 vultures discovered at St. Bernadette School in Amelia, Ohio on December 1st tested positive for the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain. The birds were found scattered across the school's baseball fields after staff returned from the Thanksgiving holiday. Clermont County Public Health has indicated there is minimal risk to the general public, though officials emphasize that direct contact with infected birds should be avoided.

    The outbreak extends far beyond Ohio. Within the past month, avian flu has been detected among 97 flocks across the country, including 40 commercial operations and 57 backyard flocks, affecting approximately 1.08 million birds in total. West Virginia reported its third confirmed case in a backyard flock in Jackson County, while Indiana continues to experience increased avian flu activity.

    On the global front, the situation remains dire. Since October 2025, nearly nine million poultry have been culled worldwide, particularly in the United States, Canada, and Germany. European health authorities are sounding alarms as well, reporting over 1,400 infections among wild birds and poultry detected in at least 26 European countries since September, four times higher than the previous year.

    The human toll has also increased. A Washington State resident became the first recorded human death from the H5N5 strain of bird flu in the world. This marks the second avian flu death in the United States this year, following a Louisiana resident who died from H5N1 in January. To date, the Centers for Disease Control have confirmed 71 cases of bird flu in the country.

    Experts warn of pandemic potential. The H5N1 strain carries a mortality rate of approximately 48 percent among infected humans, significantly higher than COVID-19's three percent rate. Epidemiologists stress that strong biosecurity measures on farms and vigilant surveillance of wild bird populations remain critical to preventing further spread and potential human-to-human transmission.

    Seasonal flu activity is also increasing across the country, raising concerns that co-infection scenarios could accelerate viral mutation and spread.
