"Rapid Spread: Bird Flu Outbreak Hits U.S. Dairy Cows and Poultry"
TL;DR
Bird flu has spread to a dairy herd in Ohio for the first time and has been detected in additional herds in Kansas and New Mexico, raising concerns about potential risks to humans. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has confirmed infections in herds across six states, with the virus likely introduced by wild birds. The widening geographic reach and spread to an increasing number of species have heightened the risks of human infection, although the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers the risk to be low.
