       SUMMARY - The strain of HPAI (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza)
       that is presently circulating amongst cow herds in the United
       States is presently not well adapted to transmit itself through
       the air, according to researchers from the country of Canada who
       purposely infected ferrets in order to test the transmission
       abilities of the virus. Only one out of four ferrets, isolated
       from contact with known infected ferrets, developed antibodies
       to the virus.
