The specific strain involved in this case is believed to be clade 2.3.4.4b, a newer variant that has raised global concern due to its widespread presence and mutations that could facilitate easier transmission in mammals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, Arizona confirmed its first two cases of H5 bird flu in humans, in poultry workers who experienced mild symptoms and have already recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bnonews.com\/index.php\/human-cases-of-h5n1-bird-flu\/?swcfpc=1\"><strong>LINK: A list of all human cases of H5N1 bird flu since 2021<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been 67 confirmed human cases of H5N1 in the U.S., with most linked to poultry or dairy exposure. However, two cases\u2014one in California and one in Missouri\u2014have no known connection to poultry or dairy, sparking concerns that the virus might be spreading through other mammals or alternate transmission methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar situation was reported in Canada\u2019s first human H5N1 case, detected in early November. The patient, a teenager with no ties to poultry or dairy, was being treated in a hospital in British Columbia and last reported to be in critical condition. Experts maintain there is currently no evidence of human-to-human transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Globally, 82 human cases of H5N1 bird flu have been reported this year, including 67 in the United States, 10 in Cambodia, two in Vietnam, and one each in Australia, Canada, and China. The newer clade 2.3.4.4b variant has been identified or suspected in the Canadian case and all U.S. cases, which include 35 in California, 14 in Washington, 10 in Colorado, 2 in Arizona, 2 in Michigan, and 1 each in Louisiana, Texas, Oregon, and Missouri.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Louisiana has reported its first presumptive human case of H5N1 bird flu, according to the state\u2019s health department.
