H3N8 Bird flu

Louisiana reports the first U.S. death from H5N1 bird flu. The person, aged 65+, had underlying health conditions and was exposed to infected backyard poultry. The public's risk remains low, but those with bird exposure are at higher risk.

Three tigers and a leopard have died from the H5N1 bird flu at Nagpur's Gorewada Zoo. This marks the first wildlife fatality in India from the virus. Authorities have issued a red alert for zoos, enhanced biosecurity, and animal monitoring.
