A strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza has been silently spreading in US cattle for months, likely starting from an infected bird to a cow in late December or early January.
Researchers are concerned about the incomplete public genomic data released by the USDA, hindering insights into the outbreak's origins and evolution.
Swift data release is crucial for fast-spreading pathogens to prevent pandemics, highlighting the importance of early detection for effective outbreak control.
The delay in releasing genomic data limits outbreak control efforts, with every week passing narrowing the window for effective intervention, raising concerns about containment success.
