Human Bird Flu Case Reported In US Without Known Animal Contact
In the ongoing bird flu outbreak among poultry and cattle in the US, a person in Missouri got sick "without a known occupational exposure to sick or infected animals," the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday. It's the first time the agency's national flu surveillance system has detected a human case of H5 virus without known exposure, the CDC said, adding that the general public's risk of bird flu, or avian influenza, remains low.
The other 13 cases of H5 in humans were detected in targeted surveillance of people who've worked directly with sick animals, the agency said. H5 is the type of flu currently driving the outbreak among birds and cattle in the US.
The person who was sick had underlying health conditions, was hospitalized and has since recovered, the CDC said. No other transmission has been found among contacts, and there's been no sign of unusual flu activity in people that would suggest a bigger public health threat. An investigation is ongoing, as more information is needed about the strain the patient was sick with.
"It is important to note that, while rare, there have been novel influenza A cases where an animal source cannot be identified," the CDC said in its release, referencing the type of influenza that the bird flu outbreak strain belongs to. But ongoing investigation into the case will be "particularly important," the CDC said, "in light of the current lack of an obvious animal exposure."
In the US, bird flu started out by ravaging the poultry industry in 2022 but made the jump to cattle this year and has been impacting the dairy industry since spring. That's thinned the line between where the virus has stayed so far — spreading among animals — and contact with humans.
Health officials have been taking steps to curb the spread of avian influenza (specifically, H5N1 or "bird flu") by ramping up their monitoring of the virus and preparing for a worst-case scenario. The US Department of Health and Human Services announced in early July that the government is providing Moderna with $176 million to develop its influenza mRNA vaccine, which could be used if bird flu starting spreading person-to-person or became a pandemic.
As long as animals and humans live, work and gather around each other, there will be a risk of viruses mutating enough to make the jump from species to species. Fortunately, bird flu in humans so far has been rare, in part because the virus doesn't spread that easily from animals to humans, or between humans, though sporadic cases have occurred in other countries as well as in the US.
Here's what to know about bird flu, or avian influenza, and what it looks like in people.
Bird flu started as a poultry and bird issue in the US but has spread to cows, which frequently have close contact with people. That increases the risk of the virus one day making the jump to humans.

In short, bird flu, aka avian influenza, is a type of flu that spreads between some animals and is currently causing outbreaks among birds and cattle in the US. Scientists are watching closely for mutations that could make it possible for the virus to spread between people, which would pose a major public health threat.
More specifically, bird flu is a disease caused by infection with an influenza type A virus, and it's either "highly pathogenic" or "low pathogenic." The current H5N1 outbreak strain among animals is highly pathogenic.
Bird flu was first detected and controlled in 1997, but it reemerged in 2003 and started spreading widely among birds.
The World Health Organization reports four types of influenza viruses: A, B, C and D. Type A viruses, which occur in humans and in different kinds of animals, are the biggest threat to public health and can cause pandemics, the WHO says. The "swine flu" of 2009's pandemic was caused by a type A virus. Seasonal flu viruses in humans are caused by type A and type B viruses.
Bird flu has been ravaging the US poultry industry for the last couple of years, resulting in the culling (killing) of millions of infected or potentially infected birds. Getty Images From talking fridges to iPhones, our experts are here to help make the world a little less complicated. Is bird flu deadly? How many cases have there been in the US?
With the additional case in Missouri, there have been 15 human cases of H5 (highly pathogenic) bird flu in the US since the bird flu outbreak began. Fourteen of them are from this year.
Human cases remain rare, but bird flu is considered a serious threat to public health because of its historically high mortality rate -- about half the cases of bird flu H5N1 in people have resulted in death since tracking began, according to WHO information. No deaths from bird flu have been reported in the US; people who've tested positive for the virus historically have had direct contact with sick animals and exhibited mild symptoms.
Earlier this summer, a handful of mild bird flu cases in farm workers from Colorado who had direct contact with sick birds were discovered. While they weren't the first human cases, the new cluster of cases prompted more concern that the virus may one day start spreading from person to person and pose a greater health threat to people. It also called attention to how some people are tasked with handling affected birds in potentially dangerous ways, and the risks to their health, as NPR reported.
Can I get bird flu from milk, eggs or meat?
There haven't been any reports of people getting bird flu in the US from drinking milk or eating meat from birds or cows. The commercial food supply, which makes up most food you'd get in a regular grocery store, is regulated, and meat from impacted animals shouldn't make it to store shelves.
There have been fragments of inactive bird flu virus found in pasteurized milk samples since the virus started spreading to cows. The high-temperature pasteurization process inactivates any virus or bacteria, including bird flu, that could make people sick. Infectious virus has been found in raw milk, and the US Food and Drug Administration is reiterating the general health risks of drinking raw milk, not just in terms of bird flu but also for other pathogens that often live in unpasteurized milk.
In terms of meat, cooking ground hamburger is also expected to kill the bird flu virus, according to the Department of Agriculture. The same is true for poultry; according to the CDC, cooking eggs and poultry to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit kills viruses, including bird flu.
It might be difficult to catch influenza from food or drink anyway, according to infectious disease experts we've spoken to in the past, since influenza (including bird flu) is a respiratory virus.
If you work directly with animals or livestock, which would include working on a farm, or even if you visit a fair where there's livestock, you should check out the CDC's specific tips for safety to reduce the risk of spread.
