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.
