Three more California dairy herds have been infected with H5N1 bird flu. A new case of human infection has also been reported in Missouri.
California officials have identified three new outbreaks of H5N1 bird flu in Central Valley dairy herds, bringing the total number of infected farms to six. Wednesday's announcement comes as health officials in Missouri are trying to determine how a human who had no connection to dairy or poultry farming became infected. It is the 14th human case reported this year. According to a statement from the U.S.
A statement from the state agriculture agency said the finding of three additional herds was not unexpected, and was a testament to the agency's surveillance methods, which are designed to find 'affected farms as early as possible.' Affected dairies have been quarantined and 'enhanced biosecurity measures are in place to prevent the spread of the virus,' the agency said.
