News about Bird flu

New @NEJM in the experimental model, administration of H5N1 orally induces systemic bird flu with high virus titers in the lungs and moderate titers in other organs www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2405495 @justsaysinmice Confirming risk of raw milk pic.twitter.com/10RGFq4Bbf

1. @CDCgov posted an analysis of the #H5N1 #birdflu virus from the Michigan farm worker. Key points: — It is H5N1. (They only knew H5 on Wed.) — I assume this is the avian N1 because CDC does not say otherwise. If this were a reassortant with a human N1, they would say so. pic.twitter.com/spDcVpMPKm

Keen to keep up on the outbreak of #H5N1 #birdflu in dairy cows? You can find all of @statnews's coverage right here at this handy landing site. www.statnews.com/topic/h5n1-bird-flu/

Great study from some really great colleagues, led by @Lakdawala_Lab. To sort out H5N1 transmission mechanisms in cattle, you first need to know where the risk exists. This study clearly shows that infectious virus can persist on milking equipment. 👇 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.05.22.24307745v1
