The recent bird flu case in Louisiana emphasizes the ongoing risk of severe illness, though the CDC maintains that the general public's risk remains low.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis noted that while there is concern over certain mutations observed in the British Columbia case, further research is needed to assess the potential implications.
Most bird flu infections in the U.S. are linked to exposure to sick animals, particularly dairy cattle and poultry, raising concerns for farm workers particularly.
Despite some U.S. cases lacking a clear source of exposure to infected animals, there has been no human to human transmission observed.
