The last thing America needs right now is bird flu, Yasmin Tayag writes: “A supercharged bird virus with a taste for infecting mammals” should not be left up to chance. https://lnkd.in/eQwqEqdJ The current strain of bird flu, known as “highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1,” began its spread around the world in late 2021. Wild birds and poultry farms have been devastated, with the virus detected in more than 100 million birds in 48 states. Recently it has jumped to mammals, and in March, American cattle were infected with bird flu for the first time. Bird flu has now also been detected in six poultry workers—the biggest human outbreak of the virus in U.S. history. While another human pandemic is unlikely, the virus’ spread among animals is still worrisome: Because bird flu is spreading among so many different animals, there are “more opportunities than ever to find a way to replicate in humans.” And even if the virus stays contained to animals, the cost of regular outbreaks “would be exorbitant,” Tayag continues. The USDA has already allocated more than $2 billion to address surges among poultry and livestock. Researchers are still on the look out for indications of an increased risk of the virus to humans. Evidence suggests that H5N1 isn’t very good at getting into human cells and then replicating inside them—but that might not always be the case. “A few genetic changes could be all it takes for the virus to spread more efficiently to humans—or, worse, between them.” “Had bird flu been kept in check earlier, it might … never have developed the mutations that allow it to flirt so closely with human-to-human transmission,” Tayag continues. “Tools to curtail the spread of bird flu are available, but they’re not being used, or used appropriately.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/eQwqEqdJ 🎨: The Atlantic.
