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.

  • Experts hold differing views on the human risks as the virus persists among cows. The mutation possibility poses a potential threat to human health.
