Outbreak investigation reveals cross-species transmission of bovine H5N1 influenza in livestock and humans, highlighting heightened public health risks.

Key Points

Highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza demonstrated unprecedented transmission within and between bovine herds, expanding mammalian infection dynamics.
Epidemiological surveillance during the spring 2024 outbreak documented viral spillover from infected cattle into domestic cats, poultry, and human workers.
Heightened pathogenicity and cross-species transmissibility across mammalian hosts underscore an escalated public health risk requiring urgent bio-surveillance.
