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.

  • Pennsylvania Avian Flu Crisis Escalates: 7.6 Million Birds Infected as Outbreak Spreads Nationwide

    Pennsylvania Avian Flu Crisis Escalates: 7.6 Million Birds Infected as Outbreak Spreads Nationwide
    Feb 26 2026
    Bird Flu Crisis Deepens Across United States

    Pennsylvania remains the epicenter of a nationwide avian influenza surge, with Governor Josh Shapiro declaring the state in crisis mode this week. According to reporting from City and State PA, more than 7.6 million birds have been affected in Pennsylvania so far, accounting for roughly half of all cases seen across the United States in 2026.

    The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that 42 commercial flocks have been infected nationwide, with more than 10 million affected birds across January and February. Pennsylvania alone has seen 26 flocks infected, with Lancaster County hit particularly hard. That county, one of the most densely populated poultry areas in the nation, has seen more than 7.3 million birds affected by the surge over the last two months, according to USDA data cited by City and State PA.

    Governor Shapiro met with state lawmakers and agricultural industry leaders on Tuesday to outline Pennsylvania's response efforts. The administration has authorized the hiring of 11 additional people to support bird flu response efforts, and the state has deployed six additional employees to assist containment operations. Shapiro said he has been in regular contact with the Trump administration and requested that federal staff remain in Pennsylvania to assist with the response for as long as possible.

    According to CIDRAP reporting, the largest outbreaks are occurring at commercial egg-layer sites, with one Lancaster County location experiencing 2.6 million bird infections and another 1.4 million. Almost 30,000 commercial turkey birds and 179,000 commercial broiler birds have also been affected.

    Regarding consumer impact, egg industry leaders quoted by City and State PA said they do not anticipate short-term price spikes as long as the outbreak remains contained to Pennsylvania. The U.S. egg industry reportedly has sufficient supply for current market demands.

    In other developments, researchers at UC Santa Cruz and UC Davis announced the first confirmed avian flu outbreak among marine mammals in California. According to reporting from KSAT, seven elephant seal pups at Año Nuevo State Park have tested positive for the virus, with several more showing signs of illness. Officials have canceled the park's popular seal-watching tours for the remainder of the breeding season as a precaution. The virus is considered low risk to humans.

    Regarding vaccines, Governor Shapiro noted that poultry vaccines for the virus are unlikely to be available in the near term, describing vaccine deployment as a long game requiring months of federal coordination.

  • Avian Flu Outbreak Surges in US Poultry: Pennsylvania Hit Hard With 7 Million Birds Affected

    Avian Flu Outbreak Surges in US Poultry: Pennsylvania Hit Hard With 7 Million Birds Affected
    Feb 24 2026
    Avian flu outbreaks are intensifying in US poultry operations, with Pennsylvania emerging as the epicenter, affecting over 7 million birds in 11 commercial flocks since early February, according to USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service reports. Farm Progress notes this surge threatens to reverse recent declines in egg prices, while CIDRAP details massive losses in Lancaster County, including 2.6 million egg-layer birds at one site and nearly 30,000 turkeys at others, part of 8.97 million birds nationwide impacted in the past 30 days.

    Human cases remain low risk, with the CDC reporting 71 confirmed or probable A(H5N1) infections since 2024, mostly among dairy and poultry workers in California (38 cases) and Washington (12 cases). No new cases or person-to-person spread detected in the latest FluView report ending February 14, though Louisiana recorded the first US bird flu death. CDC surveillance of over 22,600 exposed individuals has identified 64 cases.

    In research news today, University of Missouri's KBIA reports Dr. Wenjun Ma secured a $1.9 million USDA grant to develop vaccines distinguishing infected from vaccinated chickens, aiming to curb outbreaks, protect trade, and limit human spillover risks.

    Elsewhere, wild bird cases are rising in New Jersey per Duke Farms and NJDEP monitoring, while San Juan County, Washington, confirmed avian flu in two red foxes on February 20, with no human links.

    Globally, A(H5) remains widespread in wild birds, hitting US dairy cows too, but public health officials stress vigilance without alarm.

    H5N1 Bird Flu Devastates US Poultry: Pennsylvania Reports 7 Million Birds Lost in Weeks
    Feb 21 2026
    Bird flu outbreaks continue to challenge US poultry operations, with Pennsylvania hit hardest in recent weeks. The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service confirmed multiple H5N1 detections this week in Lancaster County egg-layer and turkey facilities, affecting over 7 million birds across 11 commercial flocks and nine backyard flocks since early February, according to Farm Progress and CIDRAP reports. One site alone lost 2.6 million egg-layers, marking an unprecedented surge in the state.

    Nationally, since the outbreak began, HPAI has impacted 190 million birds in 2,072 flocks across 50 states, per Washington State Department of Agriculture's February 17 update. In the last 30 days, 51 flocks were confirmed positive, including 23 commercial and 28 backyard, with 8.97 million birds affected. Washington's latest domestic case was February 2 in Yakima County backyard flocks, while wild bird detections persist through mid-February.

    Human cases remain low risk, CDC reports on February 18. Since 2024, 71 US cases have been confirmed, mostly among dairy and poultry workers, with 41 linked to cattle herds—38 in California—and two deaths, including Louisiana's first. No person-to-person spread detected. Washington state tallies 12 cases, all tied to poultry.

    Fresh developments emerged yesterday: San Juan County, Washington, announced two red foxes on San Juan Island tested positive for avian influenza on February 20, with no human links confirmed yet.

    No new livestock cases nationwide in the past 30 days, and CDC surveillance shows steady monitoring of animal exposures.
