4 dairy herds in Nevada recently diagnosed with #H5N1 #birdflu were infected with a different version of the virus than has been spreading in cows elsewhere. Evidence of a second (at a minimum) spillover points to the challenge of stopping spread, experts say. www.statnews.com/2025/02/05/u...

The USDA said four Nevada dairy herds were infected with an H5N1 bird flu strain that has circulated in wild birds, making prospects for containment in cows appear dim.

Great study by an expert team showing that one of the polymerase genes (PB2) of the bovine H5N1 shows multiple adaptations to allow better interactions with the ANP32 protein of the host - so that (along with the HA changes) the virus replicates better...multiple steps of adaptation happening.
