Buzzline

In the last month, avian influenza has led to the death of 4.9 million birds within 59 flocks across the United States, including a commercial egg-laying operation in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, that lost 722,000 birds. Analysts are sounding alarms about a potential rise in egg prices. The CDC has reported that H5N1 has resulted in more than 70 human infections and two fatalities in the US since 2024, while experts caution that the virus exhibits characteristics that suggest it may evolve for human transmission. A recent strain identified in China shows limited capacity for human-to-human transmission.
