"Concerns Rise as Bird Flu Spreads to Texas Livestock"

The CDC has issued a health alert after a farm worker in Texas contracted H5N1 avian influenza from dairy cattle, marking the second human case in the US. While the virus is not easily transmissible between humans, its spread to a wider range of wild birds and mammals raises concerns about potential mutation and pandemic risk. Monitoring and early detection of outbreaks in animals and humans, along with vaccination efforts, are crucial in preventing a potential avian flu pandemic.
