H5N1 Bird Flu's Impact on Dairy Cattle and Vaccine Development
Scientists are investigating how H5N1 avian flu spreads in dairy farms, with recent findings highlighting the roles of house flies in mechanical virus transfer and a potential route of infection through mouth-to-teat contact, which may explain initial mammary gland infections. Despite low detection levels in the US, ongoing research aims to better understand and control the virus's spread among animals and farms.
