Health officials in Canada reported the first suspected human case of H5 bird flu in a teenager from British Columbia, who is in hospital as testing continues.
As investigations unfold, health officials are working to determine how the teenager contracted the virus and are assessing contacts to monitor for additional cases.
The CDC has noted almost 50 bird flu cases in the U.S., predominantly affecting California and Colorado, including a recent detection in a pig.
While there have been concerning cases of bird flu, U.S. agriculture officials have reassured that there is no threat to the pork supply.
