  • H5N1 Bird Flu Update: Rare Human Cases Persist as Animal Outbreaks Continue Across 17 US States
    2025/07/18
    This is Bird Flu Update: US H5N1 News Now, your trusted source for the latest on avian influenza across the country.

    Here are the top headlines. Over the past week, H5N1 bird flu continues to be closely monitored across the United States, with both the CDC and USDA providing fresh updates. Human cases remain relatively rare, and most of those affected have had close contact with infected animals, particularly dairy cows and poultry.

    As of late July 2025, federal health officials report a total of 70 laboratory-confirmed human cases of H5N1 in the U.S. since 2024, an increase from previous months. Most of these cases were associated with direct exposure to either infected dairy cows or poultry. The majority of people who contracted the virus experienced mild symptoms, typically conjunctivitis, and have recovered after antiviral treatment. Serious complications, hospitalizations, and deaths have been rare and almost entirely among individuals with significant animal exposure, often without using protective gear. To date, there is still no documented human-to-human transmission of H5N1 in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    Animal outbreaks remain extensive. Since last year, the USDA confirms that 989 dairy herds across 17 states have had H5N1 detected, and more than 90 million poultry, both commercial and backyard, have been affected or culled to contain the spread. Wildlife and mammal cases continue to be reported, with new detections in states such as Arizona and California within the last month according to USDA surveillance. This highlights the virus’s persistence and the ongoing need for rigorous animal health monitoring.

    The most significant change in guidance arrived on July 7, 2025, when the CDC streamlined its bird flu updates to align with other influenza reporting. Influenza activity, including H5N1, will now be updated monthly and integrated into broader routine flu surveillance programs. CDC officials emphasize that the general public risk remains low but continue to urge people who work with or around birds, poultry, or livestock to take protective measures, including using personal protective equipment and watching for symptoms like conjunctivitis.

    On the research front, technical reports published in June confirmed that the virus’s genetic makeup has not changed in a way that would allow easier human-to-human transmission. The World Health Organization and scientists continue to monitor for any mutations that could raise the threat level.

    To put this in context compared to previous weeks, the overall number of new human cases remains stable. Ongoing animal outbreaks, however, indicate that H5N1 is still a threat in agricultural settings, underscoring the importance of continued containment efforts and personal vigilance among farm workers and those with animal contact. Federal health authorities stress there has been no uptick in risk to the general population.

    For listeners, here’s what these updates mean: If you do not have close contact with poultry, livestock, or wild birds, your risk from H5N1 remains extremely low. If you work in agriculture or animal care, keep up with protective protocols. Stay informed through CDC and USDA channels as data will now be released on a monthly schedule.

  • Bird Flu Cases Decline in US as CDC Lifts Emergency Response and Monitors Low Public Health Risk
    2025/07/16
    This is Bird Flu Update: US H5N1 News Now. I’m your host, and here are the latest developments on the H5N1 bird flu situation in the United States as of mid-July 2025.

    The US is continuing to monitor H5N1 bird flu, although the situation has improved. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 70 human cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza have been reported in the US since 2024. These cases have primarily been linked to exposures among workers in dairy herds and poultry facilities, and most people experienced mild illness, often presenting as conjunctivitis. Nationwide, over 18,600 people have been monitored for potential exposures, with more than 880 actually tested for bird flu after contact with affected animals. Importantly, no cases of sustained human-to-human transmission have been identified in the US.

    In animals, the US Department of Agriculture has reported 1,074 outbreaks in dairy cattle herds since last year, affecting 17 states, with the most recent detection in late June in Arizona. Additionally, outbreaks in commercial poultry and game bird farms have continued, the latest being a significant outbreak at a Pennsylvania game bird farm at the start of July.

    With fewer new outbreaks during the warm summer months, both the CDC and several states are easing their emergency responses. The CDC ended its emergency bird flu response last week, a decision echoed by states like California and Washington. National data on H5N1 will now be included in routine flu updates, with monthly reporting on the numbers of people monitored and tested. This streamlining reflects falling numbers of new human and animal cases, and CDC continues to assess the risk to the general public as low. However, public health officials remain vigilant and closely monitor for any unusual flu activity or new human cases, especially in people with animal exposures.

    Significant research in recent months has highlighted that the majority of human infections in the US have resulted in mild symptoms, with just a few hospitalizations and one reported death. The CDC and USDA stress that there is still no evidence of ongoing person-to-person spread of H5N1. However, experts are continuing to study the virus’s mutations and are prepared to respond should there be any change in the behavior of the virus.

    For everyday listeners, what does all this mean? If you work with poultry or dairy cattle, following biosecurity guidelines and using protective equipment continues to be the best way to prevent infection. For the general public, the current risk remains low, and there is no need for changes in daily routine. Keep an eye out for any new guidance, especially if you live or work near affected farms.

    Comparing this week to previous months, case numbers among humans and animals have declined, and the emergency footing has been relaxed. Egg and poultry prices, which surged during the height of the outbreak, are now decreasing for consumers. The overall tone from health officials is one of cautious optimism but with continued attention to any developments.

  • H5N1 Bird Flu Cases Slow Down in US with Low Public Risk and No Person to Person Transmission
    2025/07/14
    Bird Flu Update: US H5N1 News Now

    This is Bird Flu Update: US H5N1 News Now. I’m your host with the latest on H5N1 avian influenza in the United States as of July 14th, 2025.

    Let’s begin with the most recent developments. According to the CDC, the United States has confirmed a total of 70 human H5N1 cases since 2024. These infections remain closely linked to exposures among agricultural workers, mainly those handling sick dairy cows and poultry. The latest CDC update notes that no new human cases have been reported in the last week, and, importantly, there remains **no evidence of person-to-person H5N1 transmission** in the U.S. Most human cases have involved mild illness, such as conjunctivitis, but there have also been a few hospitalizations and one death linked to the virus. Health officials stress that the risk to the general public from H5N1 remains low.

    On the animal health front, the USDA reports that as of early July, H5N1 continues to impact both commercial and backyard flocks. The most recent major detection was confirmed at a Pennsylvania game bird farm on July 2nd, affecting nearly 30,000 birds. In dairy cattle, the last confirmed outbreak occurred in Arizona on June 24th. Since March 2024, more than 1,000 dairy herds in 17 states have been affected, and in total, more than 90 million domestic birds have died or been culled to limit the spread of the virus.

    In a significant change, both the CDC and the USDA have **streamlined public updates**. The CDC ended its formal emergency response last week as outbreaks have slowed and is now providing H5N1 data as part of its regular flu surveillance. Updates on monitored and tested individuals are now reported monthly. The USDA continues to track animal cases, but state-level responses have also been dialed back, with emergency declarations in hard-hit states like California ending this spring.

    Recent research has focused on monitoring possible mutations in H5N1 that could increase its ability to infect humans. So far, there are **no indications that the virus is becoming more transmissible between people**. The CDC continues to watch for any such changes closely.

    Here’s what this means for you: Unless you work closely with potentially infected animals, your risk remains very low. The CDC reminds those in agriculture to use recommended personal protective equipment and follow strict biosecurity protocols. For consumers, both the CDC and the USDA confirm that properly cooked poultry, beef, and dairy products remain safe to eat, as cooking kills the virus.

    Comparing to previous weeks, the pace of new outbreaks and human cases has slowed considerably, which prompted the CDC to step down its emergency posture and return to routine monitoring. However, experts caution that vigilance must continue, especially as the fall migratory season could increase risks for both birds and livestock.

    That wraps up this week’s Bird Flu Update: US H5N1 News Now. Thank you for tuning in. Be sure to come back next week for more updates. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.
