Members phkrause Posted February 6 Author Members Posted February 6 Second type of bird flu detected in US dairy cows Dairy cattle in Nevada have been infected with a new type of bird flu that’s different from the version that has spread in U.S. herds since last year, Agriculture Department officials said Wednesday. The detection indicates that distinct forms of the virus known as Type A H5N1 have spilled over from wild birds into cattle at least twice Read more. Why this matters: A version of H5N1, known as D1.1, was confirmed in Nevada cattle on Friday. It was detected in milk collected as part of a surveillance program launched in December. The D1.1 variant was linked to the first U.S. death tied to bird flu. At least 67 people in the U.S. have been infected with bird flu, mostly those who work closely with dairy or cattle, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Scientists are studying the newer strain, D1.1, to try to learn more about its capabilities and how it appears to be spreading so aggressively.
