Important update: H5N1 variant D1.1 identified in milk and dairy cattle in Nevada. This is not the same as the variant that has been circulating in cattle until now, it is the one responsible for the death in Louisiana and a severely sick teenager in canada.

USDA announced today that they found H5N1 genotype D1.1 in milk in Nevada today. Billing it as a success of bulk tank testing, they’re listing four herds with a date of 31 January - but here are my questions: why did it only get *announced* today? And what will this mean for containment? 🧪

The USDA and APHIS should leverage the Animal Health Protection Act to mandate testing for all cattle populations, while collaborating with the CDC to ensure resources are available for testing farmworkers.

In case the USDA APHIS reports on H5N1 livestock, poultry, wild bird, and mammal detections dry up, I'll continue updating the dashboard based on news reports. WastewaterSCAN should continue reporting uninhibited at least.
