A recent study by the CDC revealed undetected bird flu infections (H5N1) in three dairy veterinarians, indicating the virus could be spreading beyond known hotspots. Testing 150 veterinarians across 46 states, findings highlighted a concerning trend of possible unreported infections in both cattle and humans. Since the initial outbreak in March, H5N1 has affected over 950 herds across 16 states and 68 confirmed cases in people, primarily mild. Experts emphasized the importance of this data for public health preparedness, illuminating the need for further investigation into the outbreak's true extent.
Since the bird flu outbreak in dairy cows was first reported last March, the virus has been confirmed in more than 950 herds in 16 states.
Experts noted that the results suggest the H5N1 virus could be infecting cows and humans in more states than previously reported.
