Cows were initially accidental hosts of H5N1 avian flu but have now become a new, likely permanent reservoir due to intensive dairy practices. The U.S. has prioritized economic interests over stringent public health measures, leading to an uncontrolled outbreak, loss of confidence in health authorities, economic damage, and increased risk of viral spillovers and evolution towards a human-adapted pathogen. #PublicHealth #DairyIndustry #H5N1 #PandemicRisk https://lnkd.in/eaMPK5dh

????Headline: California Declares State of Emergency Amid Avian Influenza Outbreak ???? California is grappling with a serious outbreak of avian influenza (H5N1), prompting the state to declare a public health emergency. The outbreak has impacted over 600 dairy farms, with infections reported among animals and farmworkers, and 34 confirmed human cases since March. Governor Gavin Newsom’s declaration aims to mobilize resources to protect public health, safeguard food supply chains, and minimize economic losses. The CDC assures that the risk of human-to-human transmission remains low, but swift action is necessary to contain this crisis. ?? Key Actions: ??Avoid contact with sick or dead birds.?? ??Consume only pasteurized dairy products and properly cooked poultry.?? ??Stay informed through updates from public health authorities. Let’s work together to ensure health and safety for all. #PublicHealth #AvianInfluenza #California #biosecurity #H5N1 #birdflu #dairyfarms David Swayne Gilberto Sabino-Santos Marco Goeijenbier Byron Martina Rebecca Katz Adam Kamradt-Scott GHSA Legal Preparedness Action Package Ana A.

When we think of public health threats, our minds often jump to pandemics and human-to-human transmission. But threats like H5N1 avian influenza remind us that the impacts on agriculture can be just as profound.????? ? While H5N1 hasn’t had a significant impact on human health so far, it poses a serious risk to our food supply chains. A major outbreak in livestock or poultry industries could lead to severe disruptions, affecting everything from food security to economic stability. This ripple effect highlights the interconnectedness of our public health and agricultural systems.????? ? At?Primary.Health, our work in lab interoperability extends beyond traditional public health responses. We’re building the infrastructure to enable real-time data sharing that can also help detect and mitigate zoonotic threats before they cascade into larger economic and human crises. By improving the flow of data between health systems, public health labs, and agricultural sectors, we can better protect both human and animal health.????? ? The time to prepare is now—public health isn’t just about human illness; it’s about ensuring the resilience of the systems that sustain us all. #OneHealth #PublicHealth #Agriculture #LabInteroperability #SupplyChainResilience #ZoonoticDiseases #H5N1 #HPAI

First bird flu death has been recorded in humans (in Louisiana ????): A summary (because while concerning, situation is under control) . ????The patient was over 65 and had underlying medical conditions. This was the first severe case of H5N1 and the case was linked to backyard flock exposure . ????There have been a reported 66 cases of bird flu in ???? across 10 states. ?? The current strain of H5N1 has been circulating among birds since 2020. While this clade is widespread globally in wild birds and poultry, it has not shown significant mutations that increase human-to-human transmissibility. ????Nearly all confirmed human cases have involved direct contact with infected livestock or poultry. ????Immediate risk to public health remains low. There is no evidence to date that there has been any human-to-human transmission. ?? ??* Make sure to get your flu shot ?? ! While the seasonal flu vaccine does not protect against Avian flu/ H5N1, it reduces the likelihood of a reassortment event, where human and bird flu viruses could combine to create a new strain. . . . . . . . . . . ??#publichealth #sciencecommunication #explore #scicomm #uaehealth #saudihealth #healthpromotion #dubaihealth #birdflu #avianflu #h5n1 ?#???????? #????????_??????

The Avian Influenza outbreak in South Africa underscored critical vulnerabilities within the poultry sector, notably the severe impact of diseases and energy disruptions on production sustainability. It highlights the urgent need for enhanced biosecurity measures and advanced disease management practices. Effective control and understanding of avian diseases, coupled with collaborative efforts, are essential for safeguarding the poultry industry from such threats. Stringent hygiene practices, ongoing health monitoring, and swift containment actions are imperative for minimizing the outbreak's impact and ensuring the sector's long-term viability. Additionally, the issue of load shedding introduces another layer of complexity, necessitating a transition towards sustainable energy solutions to uphold uninterrupted production and operational efficiency amidst these evolving challenges. Ecowize, drawing on its expertise in #biosecurity and environmental health, stands ready to support the poultry industry through these turbulent times. Through specialised disinfection and #sanitisationservices, Ecowize plays a crucial role in disease prevention and control, assisting in the implementation of robust biosecurity measures to safeguard poultry health and bolster the sector's resilience against future epidemics. This collaborative endeavour between Ecowize and the poultry industry not only strengthens defences against present challenges but also establishes a precedent for sustainable and secure poultry production in South Africa. It exemplifies the pivotal intersection of industry expertise, academic research, and practical operational strategies. #ecowize #biosecurity #foodsafetysolutions Wynand Behr Charl Groenewald PF Coetzee

?? The situation regarding avian flu continues to evolve in Europe and globally, according to our latest report produced together with?European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) & EURL. ? Key highlights: ? Increase in cases in wild and domestic birds, mainly in South-Central Europe. ? No human-to-human transmission of the avian flu virus has been detected. ? ?? The risk to the general public remains low. ? Significant surge in cases in dairy cattle farms in the US. The presence of the virus in pigs is concerning, as they can be infected by various flu strains that may spread to other species. ?

?Here are some big ideas on how to prevent a human bird flu pandemic. Spend big on smothering the virus in cows and birds—it’s cheaper than the alternative Stopping bird flu in animals may be costly, but not nearly as costly as stopping it once it’s infecting humans. “There may be costs like lost trade,” says Dr. Carole Cardona, a bird flu scientist and a professor at the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine. “There may be costs like animals that have to be destroyed. But those will still pale in comparison to what is the $16 trillion estimate on how much the Covid pandemic cost us.” Focus on farmworkers Today, it’s workers on poultry and dairy farms who are most at risk. Jennifer Nuzzo, a professor of epidemiology at Brown University and director of the school’s Pandemic Center, says that the top priority for now should be to find sick farmworkers and treat them quickly. Health authorities say that farmworkers with high-risk exposures should be given the antiviral Tamiflu. Nuzzo also thinks farmworkers should be offered H5N1 vaccines, which do exist in a government stockpile.? https://lnkd.in/djdxmW_D #avianinfluenza #birdflu #Cattle #Cows #dairy #influenza #evolution #H5N1 #HPAI?#health #globalhealth #publichealth #medicine #CDC #WHO #FDA #USDA #ECDC

Avian Influenza has claimed its first (known) human victim. Livestock interactions being the vector this time but lets hope the jump isn’t made (hasn’t already been made?) into the food chain …..many experts saying it cannot happen but with an increase in consumption of unpasteurised dairy (raw milk) and our continued general apathy towards food safety in general, it’s unfortunately very likely that H5N1 may become another ‘standard’ pathogen of concern within the food industry. Have a read of the excellent article Dr. Darin Detwiler, LP.D. has just published on his page - a stark reminder of the ever increasing risks of zoonotic diseases in our food supply chain. #h5n1 #avianflu #pathogenofconcern #foodsafety #whatittakes #aquatiq #zoonotic #pathogen #birdflu
