US COVID indicators show no sign of slowing down, with most areas of the country seeing consistent rises, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said today in its latest data updates.

In March 2024, highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 infections in dairy cows were first reported from Texas, USA. Rapid dissemination to more than 190 farms in 13 states followed.

Listen to Dr. Litjen Tan and Professor Raina MacIntyre discuss the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the influenza field, with a focus on epidemic prediction.

The workers were employed at two separate farms. The first patient began having right-eye symptoms 1 day after milk had splashed in their eye while milking a cow.

Almost two years after the current outbreak of bird flu began in the United States, we are still flying blind.

Over nearly 2.5 years, most lives saved by COVID-19 vaccination were in older adults by first booster dose and during the Omicron period, reinforcing the importance of up-to-date vaccination among the most at-risk individuals.

Bird flu has been detected in seagulls in the districts of Aveiro and Faro, but Portugal remains free of this disease in poultry, according to the Directorate-General for Food and Veterinary Affairs (DGAV).

The objective of this study is to estimate the burden of selected immunization-preventable infectious diseases in Spain.

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has confirmed three more H5N1 avian influenza outbreaks in dairy cattle, raising the national total to 181 from 13 states.

It is estimated that 6% of American adults currently suffer from persistent symptoms that can linger for weeks to years after COVID-19 infection.

A new study lends weight to fears that more livestock workers have gotten the bird flu than has been reported.
