OKLAHOMA BECOMES 13TH STATE WITH CONFIRMED HPAI CASE IN A DAIRY HERD https://news9.com/story/6691ac4bcfcaca00c3e74aa1/oklahoma-becomes-13th-state-with-confirmed-hpai-case-in-a-dairy-herd JULY 12, 2024 Oklahoma has become the 13th state to have a confirmed positive case of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in a dairy herd, according to the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry. According to a press release on Friday, the positive sample was collected in April and submitted for testing. The press release stated that the dairy herd has fully recovered. Department officials say that there is no concern for the safety of milk or dairy products. According to ODAFF, some clinical signs of HPAI in dairy cattle are: A drop in rumination A decline in feed intake A decrease in milk yield Thicker, concentrated, colostrum-like milk Lethargy Dehydration Fever


DJ; H5N1 is still spreading in both US cattle and farmworkers with lots of cases being missed.  Also cats, rats, mice must be infected on top of birds and "wild" mammals...

This is very concerning, whether they had direct contact with sick chickens or not. It can be the tip of the iceberg of what's to come if this outbreak is allowed to continue to spread unmitigated and untracked. It is more important now than ever before for to finally start collecting serum from each infected person, their immediate / close contacts (on farm, family, community), and look closely at sequences in real time to track the virus evolution. If reports of conjunctivitis & respiratory infection are confirmed, this needs to be taken very seriously this time to check for source of infection and potential spread to others.

DJ, Again there have to be more cases...this latest one is from a poultry farm worker...

Colorado state health officials identify possible cases of avian flu in Colorado poultry workers

tiphatColorado has tested 55 symptomatic poultry workers as of Friday

Colorado state health officials identify possible cases of avian flu in Colorado poultry workers


The risk to the public remains low; all cases had direct contact with infected animals

Denver (July 12, 2024) — The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, in coordination with the Colorado Department of Agriculture and State Emergency Operations Center, has identified three presumptive positive cases of avian influenza in workers responding to the avian flu outbreak at a commercial egg layer operation. CDPHE’s State Public Health Laboratory sent the specimens generating the preliminary results to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for confirmatory testing. The workers were culling poultry at a farm in northeast Colorado and exhibited mild symptoms, including conjunctivitis (pink eye) and common respiratory infection symptoms. None of the individuals were hospitalized.

State public health officials have collected additional samples from symptomatic workers, which will be tested this weekend.

State epidemiologists suspect the poultry workers’ cases are a result of working directly with infected poultry. The investigation is ongoing with support from CDC.

On July 3, CDPHE identified a case of avian flu in a Colorado dairy worker.

It is safe to eat properly handled and cooked poultry products. The proper handling and cooking of poultry, meat, and eggs kills bacteria and viruses, including avian flu viruses.

If you work with dairy cows or poultry that may have avian flu and you start to feel sick, seek medical care or call CDPHE at 303-692-2700(after normal business hours: 303-370-9395). The Department can help you get a flu test and medicine if needed. More information about avian flu in humans is available at cdphe.colorado.gov/animal-related-diseases/hpai-h5n1.


DJ, The more spread the more the virus will be able to infect better...(via selection of mutations. Spread in humans/mammals is "bad news"!)
