# Recent outbreaks of H5 influenza reiterate importance of secure plans

> A National Association of State Departments of Agriculture panel discussed recent H5 influenza outbreaks in poultry and dairy and the biosecurity plans needed for livestock. Panelists said the virus is now endemic in US wild birds, so annual incursions into domestic animals are likely to continue.
