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.

  • H5 Bird Flu Update: The Situation Remains Stable

    H5 Bird Flu Update: The Situation Remains Stable

    H5 Bird Flu Update: The Situation Remains Stable

    Welcome back to Quiet Please. Here's your bird flu news briefing.

    As of late November 2025, the overall risk to the general public from H5 bird flu remains low, though health authorities continue monitoring the situation closely. The United States has confirmed 71 human cases since 2024, with the majority linked to dairy cattle operations. According to CDC data, 41 cases have been associated with dairy herds, while 24 cases came from poultry farms and culling operations. Three cases involved other animal exposures, and three remain unidentified in their source.

    California leads with 38 confirmed cases, primarily from dairy exposure. Washington State follows with 12 cases, mostly from poultry operations. Colorado has recorded 10 cases, Michigan 2, while several states including Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Wisconsin, and Wyoming each have 1 case.

    Globally, the Americas region has reported cases across multiple countries. As of mid-November, Mexico reported a case of H5N2, representing the second human case of that subtype in the country. The United States recorded an additional case pending characterization on November 14th. Health officials emphasize that there has been no sustained human-to-human transmission of the virus.

    The death reported in Washington state involved an individual with a weakened immune system who had contact with infected poultry. This underscores the particular vulnerability of immunocompromised populations during flu season.

    Wild bird populations continue showing significant H5N1 detections, with over 3,900 cases identified in the United States as of mid-November. The virus spreads through migratory bird routes, particularly waterfowl, affecting both wild and domestic bird populations across the Americas.

    Public health officials stress that while H5 bird flu remains extremely rare in humans, vigilance is necessary. People with weakened immune systems are advised to wear masks and avoid contact with sick individuals. The broader population is encouraged to receive flu vaccinations and practice good hygiene, especially as flu season progresses.

    Agricultural workers in dairy and poultry operations continue facing the highest exposure risk and remain under targeted surveillance programs.

  • Tragic First Death from H5N5 Bird Flu Variant in Washington State

    Tragic First Death from H5N5 Bird Flu Variant in Washington State
    Nov 27 2025
    Good morning. This is your Bird Flu update for November 27, 2025.

    A tragic milestone was reached this week when a Washington state resident became the first person globally to die from the H5N5 bird flu variant. The Grays Harbor County resident, an older adult with underlying health conditions, passed away after being hospitalized since early November. According to the Washington State Department of Health, testing confirmed the H5N5 virus, marking the first recorded human infection with this specific variant anywhere in the world.

    The patient contracted the virus through exposure to a backyard flock of mixed domestic birds. Health officials identified avian influenza virus in the environment surrounding the poultry and determined that contact with the domestic birds, their environment, or wild birds was the most likely source of infection. Public health authorities are monitoring anyone who had close contact with the patient, though there is currently no evidence of human-to-human transmission of this virus.

    Despite this serious development, health officials emphasize that the risk to the general public remains low. The CDC reports that while H5 bird flu is widespread in wild birds worldwide and causing outbreaks in poultry and U.S. dairy cows, sporadic human cases continue to occur mainly among dairy and poultry workers. According to CDC surveillance data, seven cases have been detected through national flu surveillance since February 2024.

    In the broader Americas region, health officials have documented a total of five countries reporting human cases of avian influenza since 2022, with two deaths. Mexico reported an H5N2 case on October 2, 2025, representing the second human case of that variant in the country. The Pan American Health Organization notes that between 2022 and late November 2025, the Americas region has recorded 5,136 outbreaks of avian influenza in animals across 19 countries and territories.

    As of mid-November, the United States alone had detected 3,932 cases of avian influenza in wild birds. Health authorities recommend that people with backyard poultry avoid contact with sick or dead birds and ensure they receive seasonal flu vaccinations. Though the seasonal flu vaccine does not prevent bird flu infection, it reduces the risk of contracting both human and avian influenza simultaneously.

    Well, that's all the time we have for today. Thanks for tuning in to this Bird Flu update. Be sure to come back next week for more news and information. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.

  • Deadly H5N5 Avian Flu Strikes in Washington State, First Known Human Fatality

    Deadly H5N5 Avian Flu Strikes in Washington State, First Known Human Fatality
    Nov 25 2025
    A Washington state resident has died from avian influenza, marking the world’s first known human fatality from the H5N5 bird flu strain. According to the Washington State Department of Health, the individual—an older adult with existing health conditions—kept a mixed backyard flock that had been exposed to wild birds. This tragic case was confirmed over the weekend and is the first diagnosed avian flu infection in the U.S. since February. Notably, previous human avian flu cases in the United States have been tied to the H5N1 strain and had milder outcomes. Washington health officials stress that the risk to the public remains low, and none of the patient’s close contacts have tested positive. Human-to-human spread has not been detected so far, but officials are continuing to monitor the situation closely, advising the public to get their seasonal flu vaccines as a precaution. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recorded 71 cases and one death from H5N1 bird flu in the U.S. since the beginning of 2024, but this marks the first global case and death from H5N5, underscoring the evolving nature of avian influenza.

    Meanwhile, outbreaks among poultry continue to challenge the agricultural sector. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports eleven new detections at commercial duck and broiler operations in Indiana, still considered the epicenter for poultry avian flu outbreaks. Outbreaks have also recently struck commercial turkey farms in South Dakota and breeder facilities in North Carolina, affecting tens of thousands of birds.

    Across North America, wild birds remain the primary drivers of H5N1’s continued spread, according to ThePoultrySite. Since late 2021, experts have characterized the situation as a “panzootic”—a pandemic among animals—that impacts wild birds, poultry, and even some mammals.

    Globally, the World Health Organization and European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control report ongoing activity. Cambodia, for instance, has reported 18 human cases of H5N1 in 2025 with 15 deaths, and in total, since 2003, there have been 993 confirmed global H5N1 human cases and 476 deaths. Surveillance efforts remain high in Europe with recent detections in Austria, Belgium, Germany, and several other countries as of this week, November 24, 2025.

    The current assessment from both U.S. and global health authorities is that while most humans remain at very low risk, vigilance is essential as the virus continues to adapt and occasionally infects humans, particularly those in close contact with birds.
