Bird flu H5N1 outbreaks in cows raise concerns about potential human infection. The virus is highly pathogenic but can only be transmitted to humans through close contact with infected animals, not directly between people.
Federal agencies, including the CDC, have been tracking H5N1 for years to monitor its evolution. Stockpiles of vaccines and drugs are in place to address a possible bird flu outbreak.
