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.

  • Deadly Bird Flu Outbreak Spreads Across U.S. and Globally, Raising Concerns

    Deadly Bird Flu Outbreak Spreads Across U.S. and Globally, Raising Concerns
    Dec 2 2025
    BIRD FLU OUTBREAK CONTINUES TO SPREAD ACROSS US AND GLOBALLY

    Health officials are tracking a concerning surge in avian influenza cases as the 2025-2026 season progresses. The situation remains fluid with new cases emerging regularly across multiple states and countries.

    In the United States, the CDC reports that over 50 human cases of H5N1 bird flu have been confirmed this year, with infections detected in seven states. Most recently, a patient in Washington State died from H5N5 infection, marking only the second human death from avian influenza in the country. This case represents the first confirmed H5N5 infection in a human globally, according to CDC records. The patient was an older adult with underlying health conditions who likely contracted the virus from backyard poultry exposed to wild birds.

    The outbreak has significantly impacted the dairy industry, with more than 700 dairy herds affected predominantly in California. The USDA announced a new mandate on December 6th requiring testing of the national milk supply for bird flu beginning December 16th. Entities handling raw milk in six states including California, Colorado, Michigan, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Oregon will collect and share samples with agricultural officials.

    Internationally, Cambodia is experiencing a severe outbreak with 18 confirmed H5N1 cases reported in 2025 alone, and nine of those cases have been fatal. Since February 2023, Cambodia has documented 33 total cases with a 42 percent fatality rate. Most exposures involved contact with sick poultry.

    Bangladesh reported its third confirmed case of H5N1 this year in May, while China confirmed a human case in May as well. Meanwhile, Germany has been battling widespread avian influenza among birds, with an estimated 2,000 cranes dead and over 500,000 birds culled by the German government as of October.

    The virus continues to evolve, with scientists noting that H5N1 is mutating faster than ever. The predominant strain in the US, clade 2.3.4.4b, has demonstrated the ability to spread across multiple species including cattle, cats, raccoons and humans.

    Public health agencies emphasize that while the global risk remains low for the general population, occupational exposure continues to pose elevated risk for farm workers and those handling infected animals.

  • 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.
