5/12 The virus is adapting to mammals with alarming mutations:
• PB2 M631L - enhances cattle-to-cattle spread
• E627K and D701N - improve mammalian replication
• Multiple HA mutations increase virulence

Each mutation brings H5N1 closer to pandemic potential.

2/7 Concerning mutations were identified in both human cases—one in Nevada that helps the virus replicate more efficiently in mammals, and another in Wyoming previously seen in a Texas case last year. Neither affected treatment or vaccine effectiveness.
