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.

  • H5N1 Bird Flu Devastates US Poultry: Pennsylvania Reports 7 Million Birds Lost in Weeks

    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.

  • Bird Flu Surge on US East Coast: Poultry Producers Face Mounting Challenges

    Bird Flu Surge on US East Coast: Poultry Producers Face Mounting Challenges

    Bird Flu Update: US Poultry Hits Hard as Cases Surge in East Coast States

    In the latest developments on highly pathogenic avian influenza, or bird flu, Maryland confirmed a presumptive positive H5 case on a commercial broiler farm in Wicomico County on February 14, according to the Maryland Department of Agriculture. This marks the second outbreak in the state this year, with affected birds quarantined and depopulated to curb spread. Officials stress the low risk to the public but urge strict biosecurity like disinfecting equipment and limiting farm visitors.

    Pennsylvania is ramping up its response amid a spike, with Governor Josh Shapiro announcing extra personnel, expanded testing at PADLS labs—which processed 8,000 tests on 80,000 birds in recent weeks—and USDA support. Since 2022, the state has lost over 14.3 million birds, half this year alone, Shapiro's office reports. Producers are advised to monitor flocks and report illnesses immediately.

    New Jersey faces growing concerns after over 1,100 dead or sick wild birds, mostly Canadian geese, reported February 14-16, per the Department of Environmental Protection. Thousands of geese deaths prompted park closures in Gloucester and Monmouth counties, with confirmations across eight counties since August 2025, WHYY News reports. No human cases confirmed, but officials warn against touching dead birds.

    Nationally, CDC's Week 5 flu report through February 7 shows no new H5 human infections, with overall influenza positivity at 18.6% and rising hospitalizations at 67 per 100,000—second highest since 2010-11. Poultry remains safe if cooked properly.

    In California, experts note the virus lingers in cooler weather, driving waterfowl near backyard flocks, UCANR warns on February 17.

    Health officials worldwide emphasize vigilance as wild bird migration fuels outbreaks.

  • Avian Flu Outbreak Sweeps Across the US and Globally, Impacting Millions of Birds

    Avian Flu Outbreak Sweeps Across the US and Globally, Impacting Millions of Birds
    Feb 17 2026
    Bird flu cases are surging across the US and globally, with over 4.8 million birds affected in January and early February alone, according to USDA data reported by Sentient Media. In the past week, major outbreaks hit a Colorado facility with 1.3 million birds culled, a Pennsylvania farm losing 1.5 million, and a presumptive positive H5 case confirmed on a commercial broiler farm in Maryland's Wicomico County on February 14, as announced by the Maryland Department of Agriculture.

    Arkansas agencies warned on February 16 via KATV that the public should avoid wild birds after statewide detections in wild birds and backyard flocks, citing low but serious human risk with flu-like symptoms. Experts like Colorado State Veterinarian Maggie Baldwin emphasize enhanced biosecurity, though experts such as UC Davis's Maurice Pitesky call for better outward-facing surveillance of wild waterfowl habitats.

    Internationally, Cambodia reported its first H5N1 human case of 2026 on February 14, Xinhua stated—a 30-year-old man from Kampot province who recovered after exposure to dead chickens at home. China's Hong Kong Centre for Health Protection noted three new human cases on February 11 per CIDRAP: two H9N2 and one H10N3, with symptom onsets in late December and January. H5N1 also caused Antarctica's first confirmed wildlife die-off, killing over 50 skuas, as detailed in a ScienceDaily release.

    No new US human cases emerged in the last 24 hours, and CDC's latest flu report shows seasonal influenza dominating, not avian strains. Poultry culling continues amid calls for vaccines, stalled by trade and mutation fears.
