The outbreak of bird flu in US dairy cows is leading to the development of new next-generation mRNA vaccines – similar to COVID-19 vaccines – that are being tested in both animals and humans. Next month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture will begin testing a vaccine developed by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania by … Read more

A new unit set up to tackle H5N1 is testing imported samples of the virus in high-security laboratories at Porton Down, in a race to understand whether it poses a substantial risk to British livestock. Virus extracted from sick cattle in the US has been shipped to three secure British laboratories in Porton Down, London … Read more
Serious gaps in animal and human testing could obscure the true number of bird flu cases in the U.S. and make it difficult to understand how the H5N1 virus spreads — and how to stop it, experts say. Faced with farms’ reluctance to test laboratory workers and animals, scientists are now turning to experimental studies … Read more
