"So with regards to avian flu or bird flu, we are definitely taking this seriously. This is the first time we are seeing avian flu, in cattle, in cows. We haven't seen that previously. Obviously had been in chicken, poultry, before, and that is where our heavy efforts have been in terms of monitoring. So the fact that it is in cattle now is a, you know, definitely raises our concern level and we have some work to do to better understand that."

"The virus is the same strain of the virus that we have seen in chickens in the past, so it's not a new strain of the virus, So this is known to us and we've been studying it, and frankly, we've been preparing for avian flu for 20 years. Unlike Covid, which is a completely novel or new virus, avian flu is known to us, and we've been thinking about vaccines and treatment and tests, for quite a number of years, but this is a new development. Cows, mammals, being a reservoir give this virus new opportunity to change, and that's what we're watching for really closely - has this virus changed or is it changing that would make it more likely to spread from human to human?"

The good news is, right now in the United States, we've never had a documented case of human to human spread of avian flu, but that's what we're watching for to understand how this virus is changing. Today, it's the same version of the virus, but as we've all learned through Covid, these viruses change very quickly. So we are needing to watch it closely. We have to sequence these. We have to stay ahead of it.

"We're monitoring this and taking it very closely. Our agriculture partners are on the ground. Our public health partners are on the ground. They're just state and local. And we are one team. And that is what we've been working on very closely at CDC to be that one team, local, state and CDC. So we are on the ground."

STORYLINE:
A poultry facility in Michigan and egg producer in Texas both reported outbreaks of avian flu this week. The latest developments on the virus also include infected dairy cows and the first known instance of a human catching bird flu from a mammal.

Although health officials say the risk to the public remains low, there is rising concern, emerging in part from news that the largest producer of fresh eggs in the U.S. reported an outbreak.
