How Does Bird Flu Spread in Cows? Experiment Yields Some ‘Good News.'

Cow Influenza Study Uncovers New Information #

Scientists have made progress in understanding how the influenza virus spreads among cows. An experiment conducted in Kansas and Germany has provided some insights into this mystery. Contrary to previous beliefs, the researchers found no evidence of the virus spreading through respiratory infection. Instead, it appears that contaminated milking machines are the primary means of transmission. These findings offer hope that the outbreak can be controlled before it evolves to easily spread to humans. However, implementing the necessary changes in the farming process may pose logistical challenges.
