\n

A new type of bird flu has been detected in a human dairy worker in Nevada.<\/p>\n

This strain is different from the version that\u2019s been spreading in herds since last year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The case was apparently mild, as the Churchill County dairy worker was not hospitalized and has recovered<\/a>, the Associated Press reported, citing health officials.<\/p>\n

BIRD FLU UPTICK IN US HAS CDC ON ALERT FOR PANDEMIC ‘RED FLAGS’: REPORT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The person mainly experienced eye redness and irritation, similar to most bird flu cases associated with dairy cows, according to the AP.<\/p>\n

While the new bird flu strain<\/a>, D1.1, has been reported in more than a dozen humans exposed to infected poultry, this is the first cow-to-human case.<\/p>\n

In a press release addressing the situation, the Central Nevada Health District (CNHD) confirmed there is no evidence of this virus being spread<\/a> from the infected individual to other people.<\/p>\n

The CDC noted on its website that bird flu\u2019s risk<\/a> to the general public remains low.<\/p>\n

But those who are in constant and close contact with cows, poultry and other animals are at a higher risk \u2014 and are encouraged to wear protective equipment and take necessary precautions.<\/p>\n

BIRD FLU PATIENT HAD VIRUS MUTATIONS, SPARKING CONCERN ABOUT HUMAN SPREAD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Jacob Glanville, PhD, CEO of Centivax in San Francisco, commented in a statement to Fox News Digital that within a week of the D1.1 strain being detected in Nevada cows, there was already a human infection.<\/p>\n

“This isn\u2019t the first D1.1 human infection: It has already resulted in an American death, a severe illness, and some other infections in five other states,” the expert said.<\/p>\n

“The significance of this new infection is to reveal how quickly we go from cattle infections to human spillover<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Glanville confirmed that the cattle infections of the D1.1 strain prove that it contains mammalian adaptive mutations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“While we have yet to see human-to-human transmission, with such rapid progression from cattle to human cases, it may only be a matter of time before an H5N1 pandemic,” he said.<\/p>\n

Sam Scarpino, director of AI and life sciences and professor of health sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, also expressed to Fox News Digital the severity of this new case.<\/p>\n

“While it\u2019s fortunate that this most recent human infection was mild, it highlights the serious nature of the ongoing outbreak in the US,” he told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We now have at least two distinct H5N1 strains (akin to variants if we were discussing COVID-19) that have infected dairy cattle, poultry, and humans. The H5N1 situation in the U.S. continues to get worse, not better.”<\/p>\n

Scarpino shared his approval of the recent choice of Dr. Gerald Parker to run the White House Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“His appointment signals that the federal government is giving the H5N1 situation the attention it needs,” he said.<\/p>\n

“From the perspective of both the building agricultural costs and continued risk of human infection, we have to bring this H5N1 outbreak under control.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the CDC for further comment.<\/p>\n
