Washington (AFP) - US officials on Thursday reported the country's third human case of bird flu linked to the current outbreak of the virus in dairy cattle. The Michigan farm worker is the second person sickened by the disease in the Midwestern state, following a first case in Texas in April. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a statement all three cases were spread from cows to humans, as opposed to human-to-human, which would be more concerning. But it added it was the first case "to report more typical symptoms of acute respiratory illness associated with influenza...

Washington (AFP) - Mice fed raw cow's milk infected with bird flu experienced high levels of the virus in their lungs, according to a study published Friday that suggests risk to humans who consume the drink. Over the past few years, a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus called HPAI H5N1 has spread to infect more than 50 animal species, including, from March, dairy cattle in the United States. To date, 52 herds across the country have been affected, with two human infections involving farm workers who developed mild symptoms, including pink eye. In the new study, published in the New Engl...

Washington (AFP) - A second case of bird flu has been found in a human, US health authorities announced Wednesday, less then two months after the first one as an outbreak of the disease circulates widely among dairy cows. Both individuals infected with the virus called H5N1 -- the first in Texas, the second in Michigan -- were dairy farm workers who suffered only minor symptoms and have recovered, according to authorities. Despite the second infection, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said its risk assessment for the general public remained "low," but it did suggest it expects...

Washington (AFP) - A person in the US state of Texas is recovering from bird flu after being exposed to dairy cattle, officials said Monday amid growing concern over the current global strain of the virus as it spreads to new species. It is only the second case of a human testing positive for bird flu in the country, and comes after the infection sickened herds that were apparently exposed to wild birds in Texas, Kansas and other states over the past week. "The patient reported eye redness (consistent with conjunctivitis), as their only symptom, and is recovering," said the Centers for Disease...

Washington (AFP) - A person in the United States is recovering from bird flu after being exposed to dairy cattle, officials said Monday amid rising concern over the current global strain of the virus. It is only the second case of a human testing positive for bird flu in the country, and comes after the infection sickened herds in Texas, Kansas and several other states over the past week. "The patient reported eye redness (consistent with conjunctivitis), as their only symptom, and is recovering," said the Centers for Disease. They were told to isolate and are being treated with the antiviral...

New York (AFP) - US electric scooter rental company Bird announced Wednesday that it filed for bankruptcy protection as the once-hot startup reorganizes itself. The reorganization, which affects US operations but not Bird's holdings in Europe and Canada, will entail the sale of assets, according to a press release describing a "comprehensive restructuring." The process aims at "better positioning the company for long-term, sustainable growth," Bird said. The company, which grew quickly on enthusiasm about emission-free transport in urban settings, has reached an agreement with Bird's existing ...

Paris (AFP) - Experts have warned that the recent detection of bird flu in mammals including foxes, otters, minks, seals and even grizzly bears is concerning but emphasised that the virus would have to significantly mutate to spread between humans. Since late 2021, Europe has been gripped by its worst-ever outbreak of bird flu, with North and South America also experiencing severe outbreaks. This has led to the culling of tens of millions of domestic poultry worldwide, many with the H5N1 strain. The global outbreak is also responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of wild birds.
