[Upbeat news theme fades in]
Good evening, this is your Bird Flu Bulletin: Daily H5N1 Update for Friday, January 30, 2026.
Top stories from the last 24 hours: The Food and Agriculture Organization reports 1391 new highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks in animals across 39 countries since their December 23 update, with the US leading at over 1400 H5N1 events in poultry and wild birds like bald eagles and pelicans. In the US, CDC confirms no new human cases today, holding steady at 71 since 2024, mostly from dairy herds and poultry farms, with Louisiana's first bird flu death noted earlier. CHP Hong Kong's latest report shows zero new human H5N1 or H5N6 cases globally into January 2026, following 30 cases in 2025.
Case numbers today match yesterday's totals: zero new human infections worldwide per WHO's January 22 cumulative data, and US targeted surveillance at 64 detections with no uptick.
Health authorities issued no new guidance today, but WHO emphasizes reporting all sporadic human H5N1 cases under International Health Regulations, while CDC updates note over 22,000 exposed workers monitored without fresh alerts.
And here's a brief word from Dr. Maria Voss, avian flu expert at Washington University School of Medicine: "Our nasal vaccine trials in rodents show strong protection against H5N1 variants. This could be a game-changer for at-risk workers if scaled to humans soon." Thanks, Dr. Voss.
Looking ahead, expect FAO updates on ongoing outbreaks in Europe and Asia, potential US wild bird detections per APHIS January 28 data, and CDC's monthly flu surveillance refresh early next week. Watch for any human case signals from dairy sectors.
Thanks for tuning in to Bird Flu Bulletin. Come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production. For me, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.
