Virologists issue urgent call to global action as H5N1 avian flu threat rises

  • On April 29, 2025, the Global Virus Network—a coalition of leading human and animal virus experts worldwide—issued an urgent warning regarding the increasing danger posed by the H5N1 avian influenza virus in North America.
  • The alert follows a 2022 outbreak that infected over 168 million poultry and nearly 1,000 dairy herds, with recent increases in human cases raising concerns about virus adaptation.
  • The virus now circulates widely across all 50 U.S. States and Canada, with symptoms including cough, body aches, fatigue, and pneumonia, and some human infections occurring without animal contact.
  • GVN experts highlighted that H5N1 can infect animals and humans alike, noting over 70 human infections and one fatality in the U.S., and urged for strengthened monitoring and biosecurity efforts.
  • This situation demands improved monitoring, pandemic preparedness, and international collaboration to prevent potential human-to-human transmission and protect public health.
