This is Bird Flu Update: US H5N1 News Now. I’m your host, and here are the latest developments on bird flu, or H5N1, in the United States as of July 12, 2025.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have both shifted their approaches to reporting bird flu cases, reflecting a major change in the situation. The CDC ended its emergency response for H5N1 at the start of July, citing a significant decline in both human and animal infections. The CDC is now incorporating bird flu updates into its routine influenza reports. This means that updates on the number of people monitored and tested for H5N1 will now be released monthly, rather than weekly, and detailed animal case counts are being directed to the USDA website instead of the CDC’s main page.
Since the first U.S. outbreak of H5N1 among dairy cows in March 2024, there have been a total of 70 human cases in the United States, all among people with direct contact with infected animals, such as farm or dairy workers. Importantly, there have been no new human cases confirmed since February 2025 and, to date, no evidence of human-to-human transmission in the U.S. Only one fatality has been reported, occurring earlier this year in Louisiana, according to the CDC. The bulk of human cases over the past year had occurred in states like California and Washington, but these states have now wound down their emergency response efforts.
On the animal front, the USDA last confirmed H5N1 at a game bird farm in Pennsylvania on July 2 and in dairy cattle in Arizona on June 24. The overall trend is a decline in new outbreaks during the summer months, with state and federal officials urging farmers and poultry producers to maintain strict biosecurity in anticipation of possible resurgence in the fall.
For listeners, the CDC and health officials continue to emphasize that the current risk to the general public remains low. There have been no changes to personal protective recommendations for people who have no direct exposure to sick birds or livestock. For those who work with poultry or dairy cattle, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment and monitoring for symptoms such as conjunctivitis or respiratory illness remains advised.
In recent research, scientists are closely monitoring for any mutations in the H5N1 virus that could increase the risk of human-to-human transmission. So far, analyses show no significant changes. While bird-flu vaccines are FDA-approved and stockpiled, none have been deployed to the public during this outbreak.
Comparing the situation to previous months, the number of new human and animal infections has decreased, and no new human cases have been reported since winter. The emergency posture has been deactivated, signaling a return to regular surveillance, but the CDC states it will rapidly respond to any changes.
