  • Bird Flu Cases Decline in US as CDC Shifts to Routine Monitoring and Declares Low Public Risk

    Bird Flu Cases Decline in US as CDC Shifts to Routine Monitoring and Declares Low Public Risk

    Bird Flu Update: US H5N1 News Now

    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.

  • CDC Ends H5N1 Emergency Response as Bird Flu Cases Decline Nationwide Minimal Risk to Public Reported

    CDC Ends H5N1 Emergency Response as Bird Flu Cases Decline Nationwide Minimal Risk to Public Reported
    2025/07/11
    This is Bird Flu Update: US H5N1 News Now for July 11, 2025.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has announced a significant shift in how it reports on the H5N1 avian influenza situation in the US. As of this week, the CDC has officially ended its emergency response to the H5N1 bird flu, transitioning monitoring and reporting back to its regular seasonal influenza programs. This decision comes after a consistent decline in new cases among humans and animals, as well as an absence of confirmed human-to-human transmission.

    According to the CDC, since the start of the multistate outbreak in early 2024, there have been 70 confirmed human cases of H5N1 in the United States. Most of these infections were mild and linked to direct, unprotected contact with infected poultry or dairy cows. Only one fatality has been reported, occurring earlier this year in Louisiana. The majority of recent cases occurred on the West Coast, particularly in California and Washington. However, since late February, just six human cases have been confirmed nationwide, and none have shown signs of spreading from person to person.

    On the animal front, the US Department of Agriculture has also noted a slowdown in new outbreaks. The most recent detection occurred on July 2 at a large commercial game bird farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, affecting over 29,000 birds. The latest case involving dairy cattle was reported on June 24 in Arizona, bringing the total number of affected US herds to more than 1,070 since March of last year.

    The CDC now reports the number of people monitored and tested for bird flu monthly. Over 18,600 people have been monitored due to potential exposures, with more than 880 tested following direct contact with sick animals. While data on animal detections will no longer appear on the CDC website, the USDA will continue to publish those updates.

    In the past week, no new human cases or animal-to-human transmission events have been confirmed. The CDC maintains that the risk to the general public remains low, but continues to watch for changes—such as clusters of human infections or viral mutations that could raise public health concerns.

    There are several research efforts underway examining the potential for vaccines targeted at H5N1; the US Food and Drug Administration has approved some bird flu vaccines, but none were deployed during this outbreak. Scientific studies continue to monitor the virus for signs of adaptation that could increase its ability to infect humans or spread between people.

    For listeners, the key message is that bird flu risk is minimal for the general public, but individuals who work with poultry, dairy cattle, or wild birds should remain vigilant and use recommended protective equipment. Symptoms of concern include conjunctivitis or flu-like illness after animal exposure. Consult your healthcare provider if you develop symptoms and have had recent contact with potentially infected animals.

    Compared to previous weeks, the situation has further stabilized. Human and animal cases are declining, and containment measures are being scaled back in several states. Federal agencies continue active surveillance but are shifting focus toward routine public health practices rather than emergency response.

  • CDC Ends H5N1 Emergency Response as Bird Flu Cases Decline Nationwide, Experts Urge Continued Vigilance

    CDC Ends H5N1 Emergency Response as Bird Flu Cases Decline Nationwide, Experts Urge Continued Vigilance
    2025/07/09
    This is Bird Flu Update: US H5N1 News Now, your source for the latest on bird flu in America. It’s Wednesday, July 9th, 2025, and here’s what you need to know.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has formally ended its emergency response to the H5N1 bird flu outbreak, marking a significant shift after over a year of heightened vigilance. According to the CDC, the drop in both human and animal infections prompted this change. Regular monitoring and surveillance will continue, but on a more routine basis, now merging H5N1 updates with their usual flu reporting systems. Weekly emergency briefings and animal infection trackers have been retired in favor of monthly updates, reflecting a notable decline in cases nationwide.

    Let’s turn to the numbers. Since the first US cow infections were identified in March 2024, there have been 70 human cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza reported in the United States, all linked to direct exposure to infected animals. Most recent data from USDA and CDC confirm no new human cases in July, with the last significant animal outbreak in late June involving a dairy herd in Arizona. Since early June, only three new poultry outbreaks have been confirmed, affecting about 30,000 birds in Arizona, Idaho, and Pennsylvania. For context, the spring wave saw millions of birds culled to contain larger outbreaks, particularly in the Southwest.

    In terms of official guidance, the CDC now recommends clinicians remain alert for flu-like symptoms and conjunctivitis in patients with recent animal exposure, especially farm workers. While risk to the general US public remains low, ongoing surveillance is emphasized. Farmers are encouraged to keep up biosecurity measures, as experts warn the virus could resurge with returning migratory birds in the fall.

    Some health professionals have voiced concern about scaling back reporting. As reported by Farm Policy News, infectious disease specialists caution that reduced public attention could allow the virus to mutate unnoticed, emphasizing the importance of continued vigilance among agricultural workers and health officials.

    Research continues on H5N1’s behavior in mammals. Recent studies confirm that human-to-human transmission remains extremely rare, but the virus’s ability to jump species remains under close scrutiny. There are currently no approved vaccines for H5N1 in humans, so preventing exposure remains the primary public health tool.

    What does this mean for you? For most Americans, the risk remains minimal. Those working with poultry or dairy cattle should use protective gear and report any symptoms promptly. There is no evidence that properly pasteurized milk or cooked poultry transmits H5N1.

    Comparing to previous weeks, the situation has calmed considerably, with fewer outbreaks and the CDC stepping down from emergency mode. Still, experts remind us that the virus is far from eradicated, with continued low-level circulation among wild birds and farm animals expected.
