WHAT TO KNOW
  • A(H5) bird flu is widespread in wild birds worldwide and is causing outbreaks in poultry and U.S. dairy cows with sporadic human cases in U.S. dairy and poultry workers.
  • While the current public health risk is low, CDC is watching the situation carefully and working with states to monitor people with animal exposures.
  • CDC is using its flu surveillance systems to monitor for A(H5) bird flu activity in people.
​ Current situation
A(H5) Bird Flu Human Cases in U.S.

On July 7, 2025, CDC streamlined A(H5) bird flu updates with routine influenza data updates and updated reporting cadences to reflect the current public health situation. As such, the following changes were made to this page: Data on the number of people monitored and tested for bird flu are available at A(H5) Bird Flu Surveillance and Human Monitoring | Bird Flu | CDC and are reported monthly. USDA data on highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) detections in animals will no longer be reported on the CDC website. These data can be found on USDA's website. CDC will continue to report any additional human cases of A(H5) bird flu here and in FluView.​
