Urban Rat Migrations Reveal Hidden Pathways of Deadly Disease Transmission #Science #Biology #Ecology #UrbanHealth #DiseaseTransmission #EcologyResearch
2/7 The concerning discovery came after monitoring 5,126 workers at affected dairy farms.
Of 171 people tested, health officials confirmed 37 cases, including the child who—unlike adult cases—had no known exposure to infected animals or consumption of unpasteurized dairy.

4/8 The transmission source remains under investigation. Officials suspect contact with infected birds but haven't ruled out other routes, including consumption of undercooked poultry.

3/8 H5N1 HPAI has circulated in North American wild and domestic birds since December 2021.
The virus is highly contagious and often fatal to poultry, spreading through direct contact or contaminated equipment.

5/10 What's particularly puzzling: these cougars weren't living near any known bird flu outbreaks, unlike previous mammal cases where sick animals had direct contact with infected birds—such as harbor seals that frequented the same beaches as infected terns.

5/8 This reassortant combines genes from an older 2.3.2.1c clade known to circulate in Southeast Asia with internal genes from the newer 2.3.4.4b clade that has spread globally, creating a potentially concerning hybrid.

4/8 The virus has infected 70 people in the US, with one death reported.
While officials emphasize that human risk remains low, the virus's expanding host range demonstrates its ability to evolve and adapt to infect different species.
