Bird Flu – USA

A new strain of avian influenza detected in February has so far led to the culling of nearly 24 million poultry birds in the United States. The highly contagious strain has been confirmed in at least 24 states, including the country’s largest egg-producing state of Iowa.

Infected migratory birds carry the virus but typically do not become ill. But they can transmit the virus to poultry, especially farmed chickens and turkeys. The outbreak has created supply shortages of eggs and poultry meat during the past few weeks. Health officials say the current strain of the virus appears to pose no significant risk to humans.
