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.

  • Devastating Bird Flu Outbreak Ravages Kansas: Over 400,000 Birds Affected, Officials Urge Vigilance

    Devastating Bird Flu Outbreak Ravages Kansas: Over 400,000 Birds Affected, Officials Urge Vigilance
    Jan 29 2026
    Kansas hit by worst bird flu outbreak in the nation, with over 400,000 birds affected by highly pathogenic avian influenza, or HPAI, in more than 10 counties as of January 28, according to the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Kansas Department of Agriculture. Quarantines are in place in areas like Pottawatomie, Greenwood, and Nemaha counties to curb the rapidly spreading virus, which has a high death rate in poultry and is linked to wild bird migrations, experts say.

    In Washington state's Grant County, a domestic cat and a backyard poultry flock tested positive for bird flu in recent weeks, marking the first such cat case in Eastern Washington not tied to contaminated pet food, per Grant County Health District reports. No human infections occurred there, but officials urge pet owners to watch for symptoms like lethargy, respiratory issues, or neurological signs in cats, and report sick birds to the state hotline.

    Nationally, the CDC's latest FluView for the week ending January 17 shows no new confirmed human H5 bird flu cases, with 71 total U.S. human infections and two deaths since 2022, and no person-to-person spread detected. Seasonal flu dominates, with influenza A(H3N2) leading hospitalizations at a cumulative 55.4 per 100,000, down slightly but still high, alongside 44 pediatric deaths this season, mostly in unvaccinated kids.

    Farm Progress America warns on January 29 that HPAI is devastating the poultry industry again, echoing outbreaks since 2021. Risk to humans remains low, but farm workers and those handling infected animals should use PPE and monitor for flu-like symptoms.

    Health officials stress handwashing, avoiding sick animals, and flu shots to stay protected.

  • Ongoing H5N1 Outbreaks in US Livestock and Wildlife: Experts Warn of Potential Spread to Humans

    Ongoing H5N1 Outbreaks in US Livestock and Wildlife: Experts Warn of Potential Spread to Humans
    Jan 27 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 23, 2026, based on the latest genetic trees updated just days ago. The clade 2.3.4.4b strain has triggered 71 confirmed human cases since April 2024 per CDC genome analysis, mostly mild eye and respiratory symptoms in farm workers exposed to infected animals, though one case showed a rare mammalian adaptation marker.

    In the US, the FAO notes 1,409 H5N1 outbreaks in animals since October 2025, hitting poultry, dairy, and wildlife like bald eagles and red foxes, with the latest on January 16. CDC's weekly flu report for the week ending January 17 confirms no new H5 human infections, maintaining zero person-to-person spread, amid elevated seasonal flu but declining hospitalizations at 2.9 per 100,000.

    Globally, FAO tallies 1,391 HPAI outbreaks in 39 countries since December 23, 2025, including fresh H5N1 events in Europe like Belgium and Germany, and H5N9 in South Korea as recent as January 21. Three child H9N2 cases surfaced in China in January per WHO, all recovered after backyard poultry exposure. Notably, H5N1 hit a Dutch dairy cow, the first outside the US, signaling potential wider cattle risks.

    Raw milk remains a concern, with high virus loads detected and a new review in Pediatrics on January 22 exploring it as a transmission vehicle. No major US human escalations in the last day, but vigilance continues amid animal surges.

  • Poultry Sector Rebounds Amid Ongoing Bird Flu Vigilance in US

    Poultry Sector Rebounds Amid Ongoing Bird Flu Vigilance in US
    Jan 24 2026
    Bird Flu Update: US Poultry Sector Stabilizes Amid Ongoing Vigilance

    In the United States, agricultural leaders report bird flu, or high-path avian influenza (HPAI), is increasingly under control, with Pennsylvania showcasing a poultry comeback at last week's Farm Show in Harrisburg. WVIA News highlights that no recent confirmed cases have hit Northeast or Central Pennsylvania, per USDA data as of January 21, with the state logging just one commercial flock and three backyard flocks affected, totaling 35,540 birds. Nationally, the USDA tallies 67 confirmed flocks over the last 30 days, impacting 1.48 million birds, mostly backyard operations across 29 states—Hawaii and Alaska remain untouched.

    Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding, speaking to WVIA, called bird flu a top 2026 priority, praising biosecurity measures that have curbed spread since the 2022 outbreak in Lancaster County. The state leads uniquely with its HPAI Recovery Reimbursement Grant, offering up to $25,000 per farmer from a $2 million fund. Biosecurity educator Capri Stiles-Mikesell of Penn State Extension demonstrated live birds at the show, stressing simple protections like dedicated boots, disinfectants, and isolated feed stations to deter wild birds.

    Globally and in the US, concerns linger from 2025's severe cases, including a fatal Louisiana infection in an elderly patient exposed to sick birds, as detailed by The Transmission at UNMC. California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency late that year after detections in raw milk, dairy farms, and even children, per LA Times reports. Yet, 2026 headlines have quieted, with no major flares in the last 24 hours.

    Experts like Redding affirm, "We've been fortunate... We're doing the right things." Poultry displays returned after quarantines, signaling industry resilience.
