Description

Matloob Husain reviews the resurgent spread of H5N1 bird flu across species and continents, in a paper from 2025. The virus emerged in humans in 1997 and became entrenched in poultry and wild birds. A new lineage that arose in 2020 in Europe has since spread worldwide.

Recent spread reached many bird and mammal species, and, to wide surprise, dairy cows, with virus found in milk. Farm worker infections followed. The review traces the lineage path, how it harms varied hosts, and how it adapts. It also covers drug and vaccine susceptibility and public health steps taken and still available.
