Insisting on Cheaper Eggs Is a Huge Mistake
Democrats are understandably eager to stick it to Trump over his unmet campaign promise to reduce prices. But society's fixation with cheaply produced eggs is precisely what got us into this mess.

Avian Influenza virus H5N1 2.3.4.4.b has recently been detected in cattle, with milk from infected animals reported to contain a high viral load, serving as a potential source for shedding and dissemination of this virus. Currently, pasteurization is the only widely recognized method for on-farm ina …

Public reminded to minimize risk of spread by preventing contact between domestic animals and wild birds On Jan. 30, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Interim Commissioner Sean Mahar announced an online platform for the public to report suspected Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) outbreaks in wild birds. The platform was designed as part of an ongoing effort to monitor HPAI in New York. “Early detection of HPAI is key to preventing its spread. DEC’s new reporting tool will help us understand how HPAI is impacting wild birds, so we can find it quickly and take further action to keep it contained,” State Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball said. “I encourage » Continue Reading.

Intraductal infection with H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b influenza virus | Journal of Virology
In March 2024, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 of the clade 2.3.4.4b was detected in dairy cows in Texas and has since been detected in several other U.S. states (1). Virus has been detected within cow’s milk, indicating that the mammary epithelium may support viral replication (2). Virus has also been detected on milking machines, leading to a hypothesis that influenza is spreading through fomites from udder to udder instead of the intranasal route (3, 4). There have been studies using cows to better understand mammary infections; however, the cow model is costly and limited (1, 5). We sought to establish a model for intramammary infections of H5N1 and H1N1 influenza virus in mice.
