H5N1 bird flu is spreading through US dairy cattle and poultry flocks, with at least one human death reported in Washington state. CDC data show infections confirmed in dairy herds in six states and in poultry flocks across 17 states over the past 30 days.
Health experts warn that co-circulation with seasonal influenza could raise the risk of a human-transmissible strain.
