Washington State has reported three more dairy herds infected with H5N1, bringing its total to 30, after previously having no reported dairy infections. Texas and Kansas have also reported outbreaks in recent weeks.
The virus has been identified as B3.13, and its farm-to-farm spread method is not yet known.
A rising count of infected herds across several states points to ongoing dairy supply pressure and could reduce milk output. The unknown transmission route adds uncertainty about how far the outbreak will spread.
