Number of states with #H5N1 in dairy cattle grows to 5 as Ohio confirms first cases. Most interestingly, the farm in Ohio received cows from a farm in Texas on March 8th. That source farm in Texas later tested positive for H5N1. farmanddairy.com/news/ohio-dair…

Hearing about #H5N1 #birdflu in cows? Got questions? We've got (some) answers. I'll be updating this with the news the Idaho herd is confirmed to have H5. Also, details from a @CDCgov analysis of the virus recovered from the infected worker. statnews.com/2024/04/03/h5n…

So CDC uploads infected person’s sequence. HA clade 2.3.4.4b HPAI A(H5N1) — “closely related to viruses detected in dairy cattle in Texas”— but with PB2 E627K, a mammal adaptation. The dairy industry may resist mass testing, but it’s clearly indicated. cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/s…

Are poultry by-products being fed to cows? Is the feed moved with cows? That could explain no PB2 adaptations in the genomes released AND 10% infections rates in cows in affected herds AND correlation with cow movements AND lactating cows being sick — their feed is different.

H5N1 Update | Avian Flu Clade 2.3.4.4b Looked at the newly uploaded Human Sequence (ID: 19027114) from Texas - PB2 contains 👀E627K 👀 in addition to the mutations found in the dairy cattle and wild bird sequences uploaded earlier (used #Fluserver for mutational analysis)

Although the risk to humans has not fundamentally changed at this time, we might take this opportunity to review lessons learned from the CoV-19 pandemic and improve our preparedness in public health, healthcare systems and communities. statnews.com/2024/04/01/bir…

Bird flu in humans to date have been in those w close contact w/ infected birds (or in this case, infected cow). Given multistate nature of current outbreak in dairy cows, increasing availability of testing among dairy farm workers & others w/ direct contact, seems prudent.

Big picture take-aways at this time: 1. These ruminant infections are very unusual because influenza A has never been reported in a ruminant before. Following up on these cows, and keeping an eye on other species will be important going forward.

In response to the H5N1 infections in cows and now a human in Texas, we've just updated our North America specific H5Nx Nextstrain build with the cow and goat sequences, which are viewable under "Species-grouped: Ruminant": nextstrain.org/groups/moncla-…. A few notes.
