Bird Flu Concerns Rise Amidst California's Dairy Operations

Despite warnings from health authorities, many dairy farms in California are not taking adequate precautions against the spread of the H5N1 bird flu, which has been confirmed in over 400 operations. The virus poses a low risk to the public, but experts warn that conditions are ripe for a mutation that could increase its threat. Workers often lack protective gear, and some fear job loss if they report symptoms. Efforts to raise awareness and improve safety measures are ongoing, but compliance remains inconsistent.

"Avian Flu Outbreak: Cases Confirmed in Cats, Chickens, and Humans Across US"

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has been confirmed in a New Mexico dairy herd and five more Texas dairy herds, with the virus also found in cats on the farms. The first human case of H5N1 infection linked to dairy cow exposure has been reported in Texas, prompting health alerts for symptoms and contact with infected animals. Genetic sequencing suggests direct transmission from wild birds, and federal health officials emphasize low public threat but urge vigilance for at-risk groups on dairy farms.
