À propos de cet audio

 Avian influenza or bird flu refers to the disease caused by infection with avian (bird) influenza (flu) Type A viruses. These viruses naturally spread among wild aquatic birds worldwide and can infect domestic poultry and other bird and animal species. Bird flu viruses do not normally infect humans. However, sporadic human infections with bird flu viruses have occurred.

  • Navigating the Bird Flu Landscape: Experts Urge Vigilance and Vaccination

    Navigating the Bird Flu Landscape: Experts Urge Vigilance and Vaccination
    Dec 6 2025
    Health officials in the United States and worldwide are closely watching bird flu as winter flu season ramps up and new animal outbreaks are reported.

    In the U.S., concern remains high after the recent death of a Washington state resident infected with H5N5, a subtype of highly pathogenic avian influenza. The World Health Organization reports this was the first known human H5N5 case anywhere in the world and the first U.S. bird flu death since a Louisiana H5N1 case earlier this year, though investigators have found no evidence of human‑to‑human transmission. WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continue to assess the overall public health risk as low, with most U.S. infections linked to close contact with infected birds.

    On the animal side, new outbreaks are still emerging. The West Virginia Department of Agriculture confirmed yesterday that highly pathogenic H5N1 was detected in a backyard flock in Jackson County, triggering quarantine and biosecurity measures to protect nearby farms, according to Farm and Dairy. In Washington state, San Juan County Health and Community Services announced this week that a local backyard flock and a wild bird tested positive for avian influenza, and exposed residents are being monitored for symptoms.

    According to the Pediatric Pandemic Network, H5N1 remains widespread in U.S. poultry and has previously affected more than a thousand dairy cattle herds, but new detections in livestock have declined, and federal officials deactivated the H5N1 emergency response in July. The Food and Drug Administration has confirmed that pasteurization inactivates H5N1 in milk, underscoring that the commercial milk supply remains safe.

    Globally, the Pan American Health Organization reports that highly pathogenic H5N1 continues to circulate across the Americas, with multiple human infections in 2025 in the U.S. and Mexico, all associated with animal exposure. International agencies stress that while sporadic human cases are expected, there is still no sustained person‑to‑person spread.

    Health experts interviewed by Texas Public Radio warn that overlap between seasonal flu in humans and ongoing bird flu in animals increases the chance for viral mixing, and they urge vaccination against seasonal flu, strict farm biosecurity, and avoiding contact with sick or dead birds or raw milk.

  • Deadly Bird Flu Outbreak Sweeps Across United States and the Globe

    Deadly Bird Flu Outbreak Sweeps Across United States and the Globe
    Dec 4 2025
    Bird flu continues to surge across the United States and globally as we head into the winter months. Over 90 new detections have been reported in the past month alone, prompting U.S. lawmakers to push for stronger avian influenza surveillance.

    The situation has become increasingly serious on the human front. Washington state recently confirmed the first recorded human death from the H5N5 strain of bird flu in the world, marking the second avian flu death in the United States this year. This death followed an earlier fatality in Louisiana from H5N1 in January. In 2025 specifically, three cases have occurred in the United States and one in Mexico, with additional zoonotic influenza infections including one human case of A(H5N2) in Mexico.

    The virus has spread to all 50 states, with highly pathogenic avian influenza identified on more than 1700 premises since February 2022. Wild birds infected with the virus have been found from coast to coast, including waterfowl and raptors. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently announced a new mandate to test the national milk supply for bird flu beginning December 16th, initially targeting six states: California, Colorado, Michigan, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and Oregon.

    Internationally, the outbreak is equally alarming. Between early September and mid-November, 1,443 cases of bird flu were detected in wild birds across 26 European countries, representing a fourfold increase compared to previous periods. Germany alone has seen an estimated 2,000 cranes die from bird flu, with the Friedrich Loeffler Institute registering over 103 outbreaks, including 30 among poultry battery farms.

    In the Americas beyond the United States, H5N1 outbreaks are surging. October 2025 saw a huge rise in avian flu cases in waterfowl, prompting increased risk assessments heading into winter. Experts warn that seasonal flu season increases the bird flu threat to humans, as infected individuals could potentially serve as intermediary hosts for multiple flu strains.

    Public health officials emphasize that while recent human infections are concerning, they typically occur in people with occupational or recreational exposures involving prolonged, unprotected close contact with infected birds or animals. However, authorities continue monitoring the situation closely as winter approaches, a traditionally high-risk period for avian influenza transmission.

  • Deadly Bird Flu Outbreak Spreads Across U.S. and Globally, Raising Concerns

    Deadly Bird Flu Outbreak Spreads Across U.S. and Globally, Raising Concerns
    Dec 2 2025
    BIRD FLU OUTBREAK CONTINUES TO SPREAD ACROSS US AND GLOBALLY

    Health officials are tracking a concerning surge in avian influenza cases as the 2025-2026 season progresses. The situation remains fluid with new cases emerging regularly across multiple states and countries.

    In the United States, the CDC reports that over 50 human cases of H5N1 bird flu have been confirmed this year, with infections detected in seven states. Most recently, a patient in Washington State died from H5N5 infection, marking only the second human death from avian influenza in the country. This case represents the first confirmed H5N5 infection in a human globally, according to CDC records. The patient was an older adult with underlying health conditions who likely contracted the virus from backyard poultry exposed to wild birds.

    The outbreak has significantly impacted the dairy industry, with more than 700 dairy herds affected predominantly in California. The USDA announced a new mandate on December 6th requiring testing of the national milk supply for bird flu beginning December 16th. Entities handling raw milk in six states including California, Colorado, Michigan, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Oregon will collect and share samples with agricultural officials.

    Internationally, Cambodia is experiencing a severe outbreak with 18 confirmed H5N1 cases reported in 2025 alone, and nine of those cases have been fatal. Since February 2023, Cambodia has documented 33 total cases with a 42 percent fatality rate. Most exposures involved contact with sick poultry.

    Bangladesh reported its third confirmed case of H5N1 this year in May, while China confirmed a human case in May as well. Meanwhile, Germany has been battling widespread avian influenza among birds, with an estimated 2,000 cranes dead and over 500,000 birds culled by the German government as of October.

    The virus continues to evolve, with scientists noting that H5N1 is mutating faster than ever. The predominant strain in the US, clade 2.3.4.4b, has demonstrated the ability to spread across multiple species including cattle, cats, raccoons and humans.

    Public health agencies emphasize that while the global risk remains low for the general population, occupational exposure continues to pose elevated risk for farm workers and those handling infected animals.
