Infectious Disease Experts Call for Expanded Testing of H5N1 Bird Flu in Milk as Outbreak Spreads Among US Dairy Cows
Infectious disease experts have called for expanded testing for H5N1 bird flu in milk since it began spreading among dairy cows in the United States this year. They argue that the virus cannot be contained until farms, veterinarians, and federal regulators know where it is spreading. Now, that testing is set to begin, raising concerns about the bird flu outbreak, the dairy supply, and milk safety.
