H5N1 Bird Flu Found in Idaho Alpacas and House Mice
Nearly a dozen house mice in New Mexico have tested positive for H5N1 bird flu, marking the first real-world cases in this species. This follows recent infections in alpacas and dairy cows, raising concerns about the virus's spread to mammals and potential human transmission. The U.S. government has allocated nearly $200 million to combat the spread of H5N1.
