A University of Minnesota swine Q&A dated April 4, 2025 reported 70 US human H5 infections, including one death, as of that date. It said pigs are highly susceptible to H5 influenza because they carry both avian and mammalian flu receptors.
Confirmed susceptibility of pigs raises the risk of H5 spread into swine herds, which would be a downside risk to hog supply, but no herd infections are reported here.
