USDA finds unusual twist: Bird flu moved from dairy cows to poultry in Michigan
LANSING — A team of epidemiologists from the U.S. Department of Agriculture have traced the H5N1 viral spread in Michigan to a single herd of dairy cattle that had been unknowingly introduced in the spring to infected cows imported from a Texas dairy operation. From there, poultry farmers in the state took the viral hit. It is unknown how the Texan dairy cow contracted the virus, though some have surmised that it was transmitted by some dead waterfowl on the property. In Michigan, the virus escaped the barnyard and hit localized poultry operations, according to a report released by the USDA on June 9. As a result, H5N1 detections in poultry have been encountered in Newaygo County. Counties that share both poultry and cattle detections include Ottawa, Ionia, and Gratiot counties. Seven other countries in central and western Michigan have seen outbreaks of H5N1 in cattle only, according to data released by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, last updated on May 24. The total number of dairy herds infected reached 25 as of June 12, according to Tim Boring, director of the MDARD. In addition, there have been seven poultry operations and one backyard flock infected.
