    • Bird Flu Persists: 71 Human Cases Reported, CDC Maintains Low Risk Amid Continued Dairy and Poultry Outbreaks

      Bird Flu Persists: 71 Human Cases Reported, CDC Maintains Low Risk Amid Continued Dairy and Poultry Outbreaks
      Dec 19 2025
      Bird Flu Bulletin: Daily H5N1 Update

      Friday, December 19, 2025.

      Good evening, this is your Daily H5N1 Update. I'm your host. Public health risk remains low with no person-to-person spread detected.

      Top Stories from the last 24 hours:

      First, CDC reports the US total human cases steady at 71 since 2024, with no new confirmations yesterday, matching prior data through November. California's tally holds at 38 cases, mostly from dairy herds, per CDC situation summary.

      Second, new HPAI outbreaks hit five states per USDA APHIS update: over 15,000 birds affected in three Indiana duck facilities, plus cases in North Dakota commercial poultry and backyard flocks in Washington, Wyoming, and West Virginia. Past 30 days saw 108 flocks impacted, 1.16 million birds.

      Third, EFSA warns of very low risk of US dairy H5N1 genotype B3.13 spreading to Europe but significant potential impact if it arrives, urging heightened surveillance and biosecurity, in their December 16 opinion.

      Case numbers show no change from yesterday: national human total 71, including two deaths—one recent H5N5 fatality in Washington State per WHO, the 71st since early 2024 and first since February. Dairy infections persist, with CDFA noting 766 California herds affected since detection, 630 recovered.

      Health authorities: CDC maintains low risk, monitoring exposures closely via flu surveillance. EFSA stresses preparedness amid wild bird detections surging fourfold in Europe this fall.

      Brief expert insight: Dr. Angela Rasmussen, virologist at University of Saskatchewan, notes, "Sporadic human cases are expected with high avian circulation, but mammal adaptations like in US cows heighten vigilance needs. No sustained human transmission yet."

      Looking ahead: Expect USDA flock updates and possible Nevada D1.1 genotype monitoring expansion tomorrow. Winter migration may drive more poultry outbreaks.

      Thank you for tuning in. Come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production. For me, check out Quiet Please Dot A I. Stay safe.

    • Bird Flu Alert: H5N1 Spreads in Snow Geese, Dairy Herds Remain Infected Amid Low Human Risk

      Bird Flu Alert: H5N1 Spreads in Snow Geese, Dairy Herds Remain Infected Amid Low Human Risk
      Dec 17 2025
      Bird Flu Bulletin: Daily H5N1 Update

      [Host voice, urgent yet calm] Good evening, this is your Bird Flu Bulletin: Daily H5N1 Update for Wednesday, December 17, 2025.

      Top stories from the last 24 hours: First, Pennsylvania state officials confirmed approximately 400 snow geese dead in Lower Nazareth Township from highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1, marking a continued resurgence in wild birds as noted by the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Second, the European Food Safety Authority released a new opinion stating the risk of US dairy cattle H5N1 spreading to Europe remains very low, though biosecurity and surveillance are urged, building on their July 2025 report. Third, USDA APHIS reported ongoing HPAI detections in wild birds, including recent cases in Florida's St. Johns County confirmed as EA H5 subtype as of December 8.

      On case numbers: CDC reports the national total of confirmed and probable H5 human cases since 2024 holds steady at 71, with no new US cases in the last 24 hours compared to yesterday. This includes 41 from dairy herds, mostly in California with 38 total. Globally, WHO notes the November 20 confirmation of the 71st US case, a fatal H5N5 infection in Washington state—the first human H5N5 worldwide and first US case since February—with no human-to-human transmission detected.

      Health authorities: CDC maintains the public risk is low, recommending 10-day monitoring for those exposed to infected animals. No new guidance today, but EFSA emphasizes pasteurization inactivates the virus, with no foodborne human illnesses reported.

      And now, a brief word from Dr. Scott Hensley, microbiologist at the University of Pennsylvania: "The current 2.3.4.4b clade of H5N1 has infected more birds and mammals than any before, which is alarming, but it doesn't easily infect human airways—though mutations could change that, so vigilance is key." [Nature interview snippet]

      Looking ahead: Expect monthly CDC flu surveillance updates on the first Friday, potential new wild bird die-offs in migration paths per Pennsylvania trends, and ongoing EFSA monitoring for any dairy import risks into Europe.

      Thank you for tuning in. Come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production—for me, check out Quiet Please Dot A I. Stay safe.

    • H5N1 Bird Flu Outbreak Continues with Low Public Risk, CDC Reports Steady Human Cases and Ongoing Animal Surveillance

      H5N1 Bird Flu Outbreak Continues with Low Public Risk, CDC Reports Steady Human Cases and Ongoing Animal Surveillance
      Dec 15 2025
      This is Bird Flu Bulletin: Daily H5N1 Update for Monday, December 15, 2025.

      Top stories:

      First, the United States has reported no new human H5N1 infections in the last 24 hours, keeping the national total at 71 confirmed A(H5) cases since early 2024, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization. Both agencies continue to report no sustained human-to-human transmission.

      Second, globally, animal outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza remain active. The Food and Agriculture Organization’s latest situation update notes hundreds of recent H5Nx outbreaks in poultry and wild birds across more than 30 countries, with nine new human infections with avian influenza viruses of zoonotic potential reported since early October. Most of these new human cases are linked to direct contact with sick or dead birds or infected livestock.

      Third, health authorities in Asia and Europe are reinforcing farm biosecurity after new detections of H5N1 in poultry in several countries, including recent reports compiled by Hong Kong’s Centre for Health Protection. Officials emphasize rapid culling, movement controls, and surveillance in birds as the front line of defense to prevent further human exposure.

      By the numbers:

      Compared with yesterday, there is no change in the official count of human H5N1 cases in the United States and no additional deaths reported. CDC continues to classify the overall public health risk from H5 bird flu to the general population as low, while warning that the virus remains a serious occupational risk for workers exposed to infected animals.

      New guidance:

      CDC is reiterating its advice that people who work with poultry or dairy cattle use appropriate personal protective equipment, including fit-tested respirators, eye protection, gloves, and protective clothing, and that any worker who develops respiratory or eye symptoms after exposure should be promptly tested for influenza. The World Health Organization is again urging countries to strengthen surveillance in both animals and humans, share genetic sequence data quickly, and ensure that seasonal and candidate H5 vaccines are ready if needed.

      Now, a brief interview snippet.

      Host: Joining us is Dr. Elena Martinez, an infectious disease specialist working with a national influenza surveillance network. Dr. Martinez, how worried should people be today about H5N1?

      Dr. Martinez: For the general public, the risk remains low right now. Almost all recent infections have come from close, unprotected contact with infected birds or livestock. But the virus is still evolving in animals, so sustained surveillance and strict protections for farm and culling workers are essential. The key message is vigilance without panic.

      Looking ahead:

      Over the next 24 hours, health agencies are expected to update animal outbreak tallies and genetic analyses of recent H5N1 and related H5Nx detections. Officials are watching closely for any viral changes that might signal easier spread among mammals or reduced effectiveness of existing antiviral drugs and vaccines. No major policy shifts are anticipated tomorrow, but another round of technical guidance for veterinary services and high-risk workplaces is likely as winter influenza season intensifies in the Northern Hemisphere.
