Utah, where plenty of cow herds were infected with birdflu. The 🧠🪱 does nothing. The CDC is gutted. The USDA is lead by an 🟠💩 puppet. Minks are an excellent reservoir. Spill over in barnyard cats and mice. Hello new pandemic. Since the new regime in the US there are no more measures taken against bird flu. Nothing is done. Nothing is reported, unless like this it is so big it can't stay out of the news. Every traveler from the US could carry the bird flu virus. They should be quarantined upon entering other countries. And only allowed to travel further when after tests they are proven to be birdflu free. https://www.sltrib.com/news/2026/09/27/animal-advocates-raise-alarm-over/ #H5N1 #Birdflu #Vogelgriep #Pandemic
‘Watch them die’: Bird flu is ravaging a Utah mink farm, killing 80% of the herd. State agriculture officials have no clear plan.

‘Watch them die’: Bird flu is ravaging a Utah mink farm, killing 80% of the herd. State agriculture officials have no clear plan.

It’s the first documented outbreak of bird flu in captive mink in the U.S., and an advocacy group is raising concerns about Utah’s response.

H5N1 bird flu jumps to marine mammals and wildlife in Australia

H5N1 avian influenza is spreading rapidly across southeastern Australia owing to infected wild bird species, including little penguins, magpies, crested terns and pelicans. Bird aggregations during breeding seasons will likely accelerate transmission to mammals, said Victoria’s chief biodiversity officer James Todd. In late August, H5N1 jumped to a mammal, a red fox (Vulpes vulpes), in […]

#SouthAustralian authorities say they have five new suspected events of #birdflu in the state, including a red fox in #Osborne in metropolitan #Adelaide. SA's Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) included the fox in its latest bird flu update that detailed five new suspected bird flu "events". Samples have been sent to a national testing facility in Geelong for confirmation. #auspol #avianinfluenza #mammalshttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-26/red-fox-suspected-of-h5n1-infection-in-adelaide-suburb/107079798

#extinction #Australia #BirdFlu #SeaLions "Bird Flu at Seal Bay Threatens Australian Sea Lions With Extinction-Level Breeding Failure H5N1 terns confirmed at Kangaroo Island colony; same seal-to-seal pathway killed 95% in Argentina Five infected terns found at Kangaroo Island's Seal Bay — home to roughly 5% of the global population of a species found nowhere else on Earth — have pushed Australia's endangered Australian sea lion to the edge of a catastrophe that wildlife scientists say has no known response once it begins. Federal authorities confirmed 54 cases of H5N1 bird flu in wild seabirds across mainland Australia as of 9am AEST on August 2, 2026, a figure that nearly tripled in under 24 hours — and the virus is now carrying the specific biological pathway that killed an estimated 95% of elephant seal pups along a 124-mile (200 km) stretch of Argentine coastline in 2023, with no birds required.” https://www.techtimes.com/articles/322698/20260802/bird-flu-seal-bay-threatens-australian-sea-lions-extinction-level-breeding-failure.htm

Bird Flu at Seal Bay Threatens Australian Sea Lions With Extinction-Level Breeding Failure

H5N1 bird flu confirmed in wild seabirds at Kangaroo Island’s Seal Bay puts Australia’s endangered Australian sea lion — found nowhere else on Earth and already down more than 60% in four decades — at extinction-level risk, as experts warn the mammal-to-mammal transmission pathway that killed 95%

Ugh, this is so sad. First H5N1 mass mortality recorded in Australia. The WA Dept of Primary Industries advises what to do if you see unwell birds: Avoid. Record. Report to 1800 675 888 (all states). https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-03/first-bird-flu-mass-mortality-confirmed-in-australian-wildlife/106989536 #BirdFlu #H5N1

Minister confirms first bird flu mass mortality in Australian wildlife

The first mass mortality of Australian wildlife from the deadly H5 bird flu has been confirmed in greater crested terns found on an island off South Australia's coast.

Peru’s only penguin species at risk from upcoming El Niño and bird flu, experts warn

SAN JUAN DE MARCONA, Peru — First, there was the H5N1 avian influenza of 2022, then El Niño arrived in 2023, disrupting coastal waters and fish availability. For Peru’s Humboldt penguins, the only species of penguins that breeds in the country, the burden was too heavy: Its population dropped by two-thirds between 2022 and 2025. […]

#Whale #stranded on #Sydney beach 3 days ago to be tested for #BirdFlu. A #newborn #humpback whale carcass will be tested for H5N1 bird flu as a precaution. A member of the public had reported the stranded whale on #GreenHillsBeach in Cronulla about 6.30am on Friday by calling the Organisation for the Rescue and Research of Cetaceans in Australia (ORRCA) hotline.

It looks like the worst has finally happened. The deadly strain of H1N5 bird flu has arrived in Australasia, with a migratory brown skua in Western Australia testing positive (it’s since died). If this bird flu establishes in Australia, it is expected to then make the jump across the Tasman to NZ. This is the bird flu strain that has caused mass die-offs of many bird and marine mammal species as it’s spread across the world. The second link below is the fact sheet from NZ Ministry for Primary Industries on what we should be doing. The first step is to be vigilant and keep a look out for sick and dead birds and seals. In preparation for the arrival of H5N1, the Department of Conservation has been immunising some of our most threatened birds, like kakapō. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/jun/19/australia-bird-flu-deadly-h5n1-first-suspected-case-wa https://www.mpi.govt.nz/biosecurity-in-nz/dont-let-bird-flu-take-flight #BirdFlu #H5N1 #Australia #NZ #biosecurity

Bowman and colleagues have been following the disease since its emergence on dairy farms, reporting early this year on detection of the virus in retail milk supplies – at that time, 36.3% of samples tested were positive for H5N1 particles 36%! and once a cow's infected, they produce high-viral-titer milk for a week-plus So that raw milk, hmm? Hmm. THey found: Bottle-feeding calves high-viral-titer milk collected from infected cows led to minimal virus detection and inflammatory signs in the calves, suggesting transmission through feeding doesn't spread enough material to establish an infection but "doesn't spread enough" will eventually take hold in some (likely mostly immune suppressed) people, and eventually one of the many mutations or recombinations (common in influenza) will be a viral genome with human-human fitness. Tests for transmission among cows through milk machinery or through feeding of calves, and between birds and cattle through shared indoor air, didn't show results of disease spread isn't very reassuring in the context of viral particle inoculations into individual cow teats, where mammary glands are located. Results showed that the smallest dose of 10 particles resulted in productive infection but fewer clinical signs compared to higher doses, as well as shedding of milk containing high concentrations of viral particles https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260615/Just-ten-viral-particles-can-infect-cows-with-bird-flu.aspx h/t you know who you are #H5N1 #influenza #birdFlu #milk

Just ten viral particles can infect cows with bird flu

Just 10 viral particles of the H5N1 bird flu that caused hundreds of influenza outbreaks in U.S. dairy cattle can cause infection in cows, a new study shows.

I did not forget about bird flu. "CDC confirms cat-to-human transmission of avian influenza" <🙀> Last spring, investigators with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) interviewed individuals who had been exposed to HPAI-infected pet cats that consumed raw animal products. ... The 19 cats in the study all had become sick after consuming commercially purchased raw milk, raw meat, or raw pet food between November 2024 and January 2025. Nine cats were tested and all came back positive for H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b, genotype B3.13, which is also what most human H5N1 infections have involved. The remaining cases were detected through veterinarian reports, commercial laboratory reports, or routine influenza A reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing of brain tissue from euthanized cats. https://www.avma.org/news/cdc-confirms-cat-human-transmission-avian-influenza "H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b, genotype B3.13" is the one going through US cow herds and bird flocks. #birdFlu #avianInfluenza #mooFlu #h5n1 #cats #zoonosis
