This handout picture courtesy of CDC and NIAID released on May 24, 2024 shows a colorized transmission electron micrograph of avian influenza A H5N1 virus particles (gold), grown in Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells. Mice fed raw milk infected with bird flu experienced high levels of virus in their lungs, according to a study published May 24, 2024 that underscores the danger to humans of consuming the drink.
Over the past few years, a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus called HPAI H5N1 has spread to infect more than 50 animal species, including, from March, dairy cattle in the United States.
