Second bird flu strain found in US dairy cattle, USDA says

A strain of the H5N1 bird flu virus recently jumped from poultry and wild birds to dairy cattle in Nevada, marking the first time the D1.1 variant has infected cows.

While the risk to public health remains low, officials warn against consuming raw milk due to lack of data on human transmission, though pasteurized milk is considered safe.
