Host: Welcome to "Bird Flu Update: US H5N1 News Now." As of late October 2025, the United States is experiencing a resurgence of bird flu cases. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that nearly 7 million farmed birds have been impacted since September, including over 1.3 million turkeys.
In recent weeks, outbreaks have been confirmed in several states, including Indiana, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Idaho, and Iowa. The virus has also been detected in dairy cows across multiple states.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that human cases remain a concern, with 70 reported in the U.S. since 2024, primarily linked to dairy herds and poultry farms.
USDA and CDC officials are emphasizing the importance of biosecurity measures to prevent the spread of H5N1. However, the ongoing government shutdown has disrupted routine communication, complicating tracking efforts.
Researchers warn that the virus's seasonal pattern, tied to wild bird migrations, will continue to pose challenges. The CDC streamlined its reporting to focus on broader influenza data, reflecting the ongoing nature of the outbreak.
