𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐇5𝐍1 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐅𝐥𝐮 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐃𝐂: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is calling for increased vigilance in monitoring the H5N1 bird flu virus. States are advised to ramp up testing of influenza A virus samples to promptly detect even rare cases of human transmission. This proactive measure is crucial due to the ongoing outbreak of H5N1 among poultry and dairy cattle, with infections reported in nine states. As per Reuters, CDC Principal Deputy Director Nirav Shah emphasizes the need for heightened surveillance as we approach the seasonal decline in influenza activity. Notably, one individual from Texas contracted H5N1 after contact with dairy cows, highlighting the importance of this initiative. Public health laboratories play a pivotal role in identifying and subtyping flu samples to distinguish between common and novel viruses like H5N1. In light of these developments, the CDC has also urged state health officials to ensure farm workers are equipped with protective gear to mitigate the risk of infection.

Even with new human cases of H5N1, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has not changed its risk assessment for the general public, which remains low. - More here 🔽 https://ow.ly/NGfj50TEELP #foodindustry #foodandbeverage #dairy #dairyindustry

«The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed a third human case of H5 bird flu in California. Like the two cases in that state confirmed last week, the person reported occupational exposure to infected dairy cows. To date, all three California cases occurred in dairy workers from three different affected farms with no known contact with each other, suggesting animal-to-human spread. Also consistent with the two previous California cases, the person experienced mild symptoms, including eye redness or discharge (conjunctivitis). None of the three cases has been hospitalized. The identification of H5 in people with exposure to infected animals is not unexpected and does not change CDC's risk assessment for the general public, which continues to be low. Including this most recent case, 18 human cases of H5 bird flu have now been reported in the United States since 2022; 17 cases during 2024. CDC is awaiting 2 additional presumptive positive specimens from California for confirmatory testing.» https://lnkd.in/djXtH9Jc #AvianInfluenza #BirdFlu #H5N1 #HPAI

Many pathogens that cause chronic diseases in birds use the respiratory tract as a primary route of infection, and respiratory disorders are the main leading source of financial losses in the poultry business.
