"The United States’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued
a health alert after the first case of H5N1 avian influenza, or bird flu,
seemingly spread from a cow to a human.
A farm worker in Texas contracted the virus amid an outbreak in dairy cattle.
This is the second human case in the US; a poultry worker tested positive in
Colorado in 2022.
The virus strain identified in the Texan farm worker is not readily
transmissible between humans and therefore not a pandemic threat. But it’s a
significant development nonetheless."
