How does H5N1 bird flu behave in cows and beyond?

H5N1 bird flu has taken an unexpected turn—one that has caught the attention of scientists and dairy farmers alike. Known for wreaking havoc in poultry flocks, this highly pathogenic virus has now been found in dairy cows in the U.S., sparking concerns about its potential to spread among mammals. Could this virus, which has been monitored for decades for its pandemic potential, evolve to become a greater threat?

Our comprehensive report compiles essential coverage from STAT, highlighting the new risks posed by H5N1’s move into dairy herds. It dives into how this virus, traditionally lethal in poultry, is causing subtle but significant changes in cows. Infected cows don't show the same dramatic symptoms as poultry, but the risk of widespread undetected transmission is growing.

Don’t miss out on the chance to uncover why scientists warn of the possibility of adaptation leading to the spread in other mammals, which could lead to a pandemic.

Key insights include:

• Recent cases of H5N1 in dairy cows in the U.S.
• The virus's unexpected ability to persist in cows and risks
• Challenges faced by dairy farmers and veterinarians
• The global scientific response
