Quick Glance: Unanswered Inquiries Regarding Advancing Avian Flu in U.S. Cows
  • The advancing spread of avian flu in U.S. dairy cattle continues to raise numerous questions. Scientists emphasize the minimal risk to humans, but uncertainties persist regarding the dissemination and impact of the virus.

  • Despite confirming the virus in nine states and over 30 herds, the actual scope of spread remains ambiguous due to insufficient testing.
