A turkey stands in a barn, Aug. 10, 2015, on a turkey farm near Manson, Iowa. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that avian influenza , which is deadly to commercial poultry, was confirmed in a flock of 47,300 turkeys in Jerauld County of South Dakota last Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2023, and at a farm with 141,800 birds in Sanpete County of Utah last Friday, Oct. 6.Highly pathogenic bird flu has made its first appearances in U.S.
Before last week, the only reports of bird flu in recent months in the U.S. in recent months were sporadic appearances in backyard flocks or among wild birds such as ducks, geese and eagles. While wild birds often show no symptoms of avian influenza, infections in them are a concern to the poultry industry because migrating birds can spread the disease to vulnerable commercial flocks.
Bird flu infections in humans are relatively rare and aren’t considered a food safety risk. But as it hits other species, including some mammals, scientists fear the virus could evolve to spread more easily among people. Cambodia this week reported its third human death from bird flu this year.
