.@Nature article shows dual binding of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus from a dairy cow in the U.S. to both avian- and human-type receptors. This is consistent with the finding of both receptors in cow udders, & raises pandemic risk another notch. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Well, it appears that USDA has finally taken more steps toward sharing more of the H5N1 cattle data. Really grateful to this research team for sharing this, though I hope they weren’t holding on to the data solely to ensure they published first. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The number of states reporting H5N1 bird flu outbreaks in cows is now 6. According to USDA, outbreaks have been detected in 15 herds: Texas (7), Kansas (3), New Mexico (2), Idaho, Michigan & Ohio (new) with 1 each. Still a single confirmed human case. aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poul…
