It’s been a little over a year since H5N1 avian influenza or “bird flu” was first detected in U.S. dairy cows, and many questions remain about the highly pathogenic virus.
In response, the National Academies’ Health and Medicine Division and Division on Earth and Life Studies are holding a special edition “Healthy Exchange” webinar series addressing the topic. In the first webinar in the series, subject matter experts will provide general information about the virus and explain how we got here, who’s at risk, and what’s at stake.
Can’t make the date and/or time? All registrants will receive a link to the recording via email.
The webinar will also address the spread of bird flu to other animals and humans, pathways of transmission, its impact on common products such as milk and eggs, and much more.
