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.

  • Alarming Pandemic Risk: H5N5 Avian Flu Surges, Experts Warn of Potential 2026 Outbreak

    Alarming Pandemic Risk: H5N5 Avian Flu Surges, Experts Warn of Potential 2026 Outbreak
    Jan 8 2026
    U.S. and global health officials are intensifying surveillance of bird flu as scientists warn 2026 could bring a higher risk of a human pandemic if the virus keeps evolving in animals.

    In the United States, the Washington State Department of Health yesterday issued updated clinical guidance after confirming in November 2025 the nation’s first known human case of H5N5 avian influenza, a severe infection that resulted in death. The department stresses that overall risk to the general public remains low, but urges clinicians to ask flu patients about recent contact with sick birds, poultry, livestock, or raw milk and to test and isolate suspected cases quickly.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continues to report that current public health risk from bird flu is low, yet officials are closely watching dairy and poultry operations after the virus became established in U.S. dairy cattle in recent years. According to reporting from the Los Angeles Times, California alone has accounted for more than half of the country’s confirmed human bird flu infections since 2021, largely among dairy and poultry workers with prolonged exposure to infected animals.

    Globally, scientists interviewed by Science Focus warn that highly pathogenic H5N1 has infected hundreds of millions of farmed birds, spread widely in wild bird populations, and spilled over into a growing list of mammals. One virologist described the disease in wild animals as “completely out of control” and said there is no realistic way to contain it other than monitoring its spread. Experts caution that while human cases are still rare, every new animal outbreak is another opportunity for the virus to mutate in ways that might make sustained human-to-human transmission possible.

    For now, health authorities in the U.S. and abroad are emphasizing basic precautions: avoid handling sick or dead birds, report unusual wildlife die-offs, and for farm and dairy workers, use protective gear and follow biosecurity rules. Seasonal flu vaccination is also being encouraged to reduce the risk of people being co-infected with both seasonal and avian influenza, a combination that could help the virus adapt more easily to humans.

  • Urgent Plea for USDA to Fast-Track Bird Flu Vaccine Amid Devastating Poultry Losses

    Urgent Plea for USDA to Fast-Track Bird Flu Vaccine Amid Devastating Poultry Losses
    Jan 6 2026
    .S. senators are ramping up pressure on the USDA to fast-track a science-based bird flu vaccination plan for poultry amid ongoing outbreaks that have killed over 180 million birds since 2022. Vet Candy reports that a bipartisan group of 23 senators sent a letter this week to Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, demanding urgency as infections surge in winter months driven by wild bird migration and farm vulnerabilities.

    The plea highlights frustrations with biosecurity alone, which USDA officials call the primary defense but veterinarians say falls short. Despite a June confirmation of vaccine development and 400 research proposals from a 100 million dollar federal fund for egg-laying hens, no timelines or decisions have emerged. Frontline vets face uncertainty, advising producers on depopulation while trade concerns loom, as many countries ban imports from vaccinated flocks.

    Politics add tension: the Trump administration axed a 700 million dollar Moderna human bird flu vaccine contract, and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has slashed other vaccine funding, stirring worries in animal health circles despite distinctions between human and poultry shots.

    Globally, bird flu persists, but U.S. focus sharpens on poultry losses threatening egg and meat supplies. The CDC's latest flu report for week 52, ending December 27 and released January 5, notes elevated seasonal influenza but no fresh H5N1 human cases in the past day.

    No major human infections or new outbreaks reported in the last 24 hours, keeping the virus primarily an animal crisis.

  • H5N1 Bird Flu Outbreak Continues Nationwide, Impacting Dairy Cows, Poultry, and Wild Birds

    H5N1 Bird Flu Outbreak Continues Nationwide, Impacting Dairy Cows, Poultry, and Wild Birds
    Jan 3 2026
    H5N1 bird flu continues to circulate widely in the United States, with GISAID reporting ongoing spread in dairy cows, poultry, and wild birds as of January 1, driven by the clade 2.3.4.4b strain. The California Department of Food and Agriculture announced on December 31 that four dairy herds remain under quarantine, including one re-quarantined after a new detection on a previously cleared site, amid 766 total infected dairies since 2024.

    In human cases, the CDC has confirmed 71 infections nationwide, mostly mild eye and respiratory symptoms among farm workers exposed to infected animals, according to GISAID data through December 30. California leads with 38 cases linked to dairy cows, while 41 total tie to cows and 24 to poultry. No person-to-person transmission is reported, though one mammalian adaptation marker appeared in a single worker.

    A notable development: Washington State Department of Health reported a hospitalized resident in Grays County—the first human case of a rare influenza A H5 strain never before seen in people—linked to backyard poultry exposed to wild birds. The patient, with underlying conditions, remains hospitalized since early November, but no related infections have surfaced.

    Globally, the virus persists unpredictably, with high RNA levels in raw milk and infections across mammals like cats and coyotes. Vets are pushing back against USDA's ventilation shutdown depopulation methods for poultry flocks, per My Vet Candy on January 2. CIDRAP noted a fresh avian flu case in Nebraska yesterday.

    Public risk stays low, per CDC, but experts urge vigilance during migratory bird season. Thank you for tuning in. Come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production. For me, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.
