**First Human H5N1 Bird Flu Infections Reported in Cambodia for 2024** February 27, 2024 (Cambodia) - The Cambodian Ministry of Health has reported the first confirmed human infections of the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus for 2024. Two individuals, a 12-year-old girl and her father, have tested positive for the virus. According to local health officials, the girl became ill on February 15 after coming into contact with dead poultry. She developed a fever, cough, and sore throat, and was admitted to a local hospital. Her father, who cared for her during her illness, also developed similar symptoms. Laboratory testing confirmed the presence of the H5N1 virus in both individuals. They are currently receiving treatment and are in stable condition. The World Health Organization (WHO) has been notified of the cases and is monitoring the situation closely. The organization emphasized the importance of bird flu surveillance and early detection to prevent further human infections. The H5N1 virus is a highly contagious bird flu virus that can also infect humans. It is primarily spread through contact with infected birds or their bodily fluids. Human infections can range from mild to severe, and in some cases, can be fatal. The reported cases in Cambodia highlight the continued threat of bird flu to human health and the need for ongoing surveillance and prevention measures. The United States has the strongest avian influenza surveillance program in the world, and has been closely monitoring the spread of the H5N1 virus.

**Avian Flu Outbreak Affects Dairy Cows in the US** **April 3, 2024** An outbreak of avian influenza, also known as bird flu, is affecting dairy cows in the United States. The virus, which is caused by the influenza A virus, can also infect humans. Bird flu is respiratory virus that causes severe illness in birds, including pneumonia. In humans, bird flu can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, and fatigue. In severe cases, bird flu can lead to pneumonia, respiratory failure, and even death. The outbreak of bird flu in dairy cows began in January 2022. Since then, more than 82 million poultry in 48 states have been affected. The virus has also been detected in wild birds in all 50 states. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is closely monitoring the outbreak of bird flu. The CDC recommends that people avoid contact with sick or dead birds, and that they thoroughly cook poultry and eggs before eating them. The CDC also recommends that people who have been exposed to bird flu be tested for the virus. There is no specific treatment for bird flu, but antiviral medications can help to reduce the severity of the illness. The outbreak of bird flu is a serious public health concern. The CDC urges people to take steps to protect themselves from the virus.
