The H5N1 avian influenza virus has caused significant disruption across poultry operations in the U.S., leading to culls and concerns over human infections. Although the public perception is that the threat has decreased, the virus has not vanished. Experts continue to monitor its presence across a variety of animals, including poultry and mammals, and findings indicate it is still circulating, albeit at lower incidences. The behavior of the virus varies across different hosts, complicating efforts to understand its ongoing threat.
The highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus rapidly spread through poultry and caused significant poultry culls, human infections, and a noticeable impact on grocery availability.
Experts assert that despite its apparent disappearance from public concern, H5N1 is still present, with ongoing monitoring in various animal hosts revealing its continued presence.
