Cats can get sick with bird flu. Here's how to protect them
The death of an Oregon house cat from bird flu and a pet food recall are raising questions about how people can protect their pets. Oregon health officials have traced the cat’s illness to frozen cat food that contained raw turkey.CARLA K. JOHNSON (AP News)

House #cat in Washington County [#Oregon] died after contracting bird flu from raw frozen #PetFood
Story by Maxine Bernstein, December 24, 2024
"A house cat in Washington County contracted bird flu and died after eating #NorthwestNaturals raw frozen pet food, according to the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
"The state issued an alert Christmas Eve about #MoraschMeats of Portland’s voluntary recall of Northwest Naturals’ two-pound feline turkey recipe."

"der Ausbruch des #Virus birgt die Gefahr einer #Pandemie. Mehr als 60 Menschen in den #USA haben sich infiziert, v.a. durch Kühe oder Geflügel, die Zahl der Fälle könnte in die Höhe schnellen, wenn sich das Virus so entwickelt, dass es sich von Mensch zu Mensch verbreitet. Die jüngste Nachricht, dass eine Person in Louisiana an der #Vogelgrippe schwer erkrankt ist, zeigt, dass es gefährlich sein kann."

It is the first human H5N1 case detected in Louisiana. For now, the case is considered a "presumptive" positive until testing is confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Health officials says “caution people to stay away from any sick or dead birds”.

![A person in Louisiana is hospitalized with H5N1 bird flu after having contact with sick and dying birds suspected of carrying the virus.
Although the person has been hospitalized, their condition was not immediately reported. It's also unclear what kind of birds the person had contact with [wild, backyard or commercial birds]. Ars has reached out to Louisiana's health department and will update this piece with any additional information.
To date, at least 845 herds across 16 states have contracted the virus since March, including 630 in California, which detected its first dairy infections in late August.
At least 60 people in the US have been infected amid the viral spread this year. But the new case in Louisiana stands out. To date, nearly all of the human cases have been among poultry and dairy workers [unlike the new case in Louisiana] and almost all have been mild [also unlike the new case]. Most of the cases have involved conjunctivitis [pink eye] and/or mild respiratory and flu-like symptoms.

Technical Update: Summary Analysis of the Genetic Sequence of a Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus Identified in a Child in California
CDC provides an update on genetic sequencing of the first pediatric case of avian influenza A(H5N1)Avian Influenza (Bird Flu)
With the H5N1 bird flu virus spreading quickly across animals in the US, experts are on high alert for signs of human-to-human transmission. Such a jump could become far easier with just a single mutation, according to new research.

Abstract
The emergence and growth of highly pathogenic avian influenza(HPAI) A(H5N1) in dairy cows poses a growing threat for both the food supply and onward zoonosis to humans. Despite ongoing surveillance and control measures recommended by animal and public health authorities to limit viral spread, new herds continue to report infections. We show here that the continued spread between farms could be explained by the rapid pace of pathogen spread reported within farms, which greatly limits the potential effectiveness of these recommendations. Under reasonable surveillance strategies, we show that the time farms have to mobilize interventions is extremely limited, as few as a couple days and typically less than a week. Our findings suggest that passive surveillance measures, such as detection of H5N1 via weekly bulk milk testing, comes too late such that most infections have already occurred. For current interventions to be valuable, more sensitive and extensive surveillance is needed and an emphasis should be placed on biosecurity practices rather than reactive practices.
