1/🔄Appreciate summary on 6 cats w/#H5N1 B3.13 from CO by Colorado Vet Med Assoc (CVMA):
– Only 1 assoc w/known infected dairy farm
– 3 = known indoor/outdoor cats; hunted mice/ small birds & spent time w/owners
– 2 = indoor only cats; Ø direct exposures

(H/t also @thijskuiken)
Image 2/➡️5 of 6 cases presented w/similar clinical signs & disease progression:
– Initial lethargy & ↓appetite
– Followed by progressive resp signs in some &
– Progressive neurologic signs in most

NOTE: – Presentation indistinguishable from rabies once neurologic signs presented

1/⚠️Wyoming, we have an #H5N1 PROBLEM⚠️
– 45 WY cattle seqs (initially shared to SRA 6/14) were re-uploaded to GenBank, now w/actual collectn date & locatn
– Collectn date = 4/29 **BUT**
– WY's 1st & only affected herd was confd June 6

Image 2/ – This is either a mistake w/collectn date,
or WY did what OK did – collected samples from an infected herd & then SAT on them for over a month & likely only submitted them once the financial support program rolled out.

1/⚠️@UKHSA upgraded it's situational assessment for #H5N1 B3.13 from level 3 to 4 (of 6):
✅This clear, accurate risk assessment is appreciated

—Points I'd like to touch on:—
1⃣Onwards transmission to poultry
2⃣↑Risk of reassortment
3⃣No apparent ↓xmsn w/↑biosecurity measures
Image 1B/ ***Disclaimers:***
– This assessment describes the chance of #H5N1 B3.13 causing outbreaks in humans (in general), not the risk to specific individuals
– None of this should be taken to mean a B3.13 pandemic in humans is imminent

1/⚠️The #H5N1 detection in a cat from Harmon Co, OK is **genotype B3.13**
• There've been NO reported OK dairy herds affected
• But 10 of 12 retail milk samples processed in OK tested PCR +ive
• Only 1 detection in a wild bird in JAN this yr & none in poultry flocks

Image 2/ Harmon Co is in southwest OK, on the border w/TX. – OK is in the central flyway & borders states that've had cattle herd detections (TX, NM, KS, CO – 3 of which had early detections)
– This cat could’ve traveled into TX & been exposed to B3.13 there (dairy herd, poultry farm…

More info (some concerning) on our ongoing, multi-state #H5N1 outbreak in dairy cattle from the always thorough & informative @sciencecohen:


#HPAI
1/science.org/content/articl… 🚨 Concerning 🚨 – Vets relay anecdotes of dairy workers w/flu-like Sx who don’t not want to be tested or seen by docs.

I’m guessing there’s been a lack of clear communication w/these workers (often migrants, non-English speaking or undocumented)

Good to see @CDCgov's #H5N1 update, but this isn't at all clear about (IMO much needed) surveillance in dairy farm/ other farm workers.

Epi field study/ site visit are good steps but likely not nimble enough to address the current situation.

Image I rly hope the One Health Approach cited means more is in the works in terms of surveillance (in cows as well as humans), but IDK how much authority @CDCgov has at dairy farms.

@USDA @USDA_APHIS aren't recommending testing for asymptomatic cows and >>

@nicolamlow @angie_rasmussen Yup, the @PIDJournal report on the 2 cases exported to the UK is *much* more informative than that mess in @LancetRespirMed.

NOTE though, there have already been multiple reports from India that "tomato flu" is #HFMD (that the Lancet authors basically ignored) >>

1/ @nicolamlow @angie_rasmussen @PIDJournal @LancetRespirMed Health alerts in May from the districts in Kerala that were 1st affected already stated the colloquially termed "tomato flu" is #HFMD
