Bovine H5N1 flu in cow milk poses health risks
Summary: A study published in Nature highlights significant public health risks posed by the H5N1 influenza virus in bovine milk. The virus was detected in cow milk samples in the US, leading to 69 infected herds across nine states. Research showed rapid disease transmission in mice through infected milk consumption and limited respiratory droplet transmission in ferrets. The virus exhibited dual human/avian receptor-binding specificity, indicating pandemic potential.
