On March 25, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) was detected in dairy cattle in Texas and Kansas. Subsequently, cases in cattle have also been confirmed in New Mexico and Michigan.
On April 1, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a human tested positive for HAPI after exposure to dairy cattle presumed to be infected.
