Lot of detail on the illnesses seen in cattle, cats, linked to #H5N1 #birdflu infection in this just posted article in @CDCgov's journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases. wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30…

👀US-based vet said that there is underreporting of H5N1 infections in farm workers
"every dairy that I've worked with has – with the exception of one – had sick human beings at the same time they had sick cows"

A vet pleads with the US agriculture regarding H5N1:
“Address it head-on...Don’t hide.”
Agriculture "needs a comprehensive, cohesive plan to address the virus in dairy – and to also look at how to protect the beef, pork and poultry industries."

If you work with farm animals thought to be infected with #H5N1, CDC recommends you wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and wash your hands after handling their litter, feces, or milk. More on how to protect yourself from #birdflu: bit.ly/4aLr7qD

WHO publishes a global technical consultation report introducing updated terminology for pathogens that transmit through the air.
This report is the result of an extensive, multi-year collaborative effort and reflects shared agreement on terminology between WHO, experts and four major public health agencies.
The pathogens covered include those that cause respiratory infections, e.g. COVID-19, influenza, measles, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and tuberculosis, among others.
This consultation was the first phase of global scientific discussions led by WHO. Next steps include further technical and multidisciplinary research and exploration of the wider implementation implications of the updated descriptors.

🌐 On #EpidemicPreparednessDay, a crucial reminder that health threats know no species boundaries. Over half of human pathogens stem from animals. Safeguarding global health requires a unified One Health approach, spanning animal, human and environmental sectors, for proactive prevention and preparation. 👥🐾🌏
