       Scientists Found H5N1 in Cow Breath and Farm Wastewater
       Fri, May 8, 2026
       NOTE to Reader:, I put this subject in "H5N1 In Humans thread"
       rather than the "Bird Flu (HPAI)" thread because it does
       concerns itself with the spread of H5N1 to humans who work with
       infected cows.
       "Avian influenza A(H5N1) is a subtype of influenza virus that
       infects birds and mammals. Occasionally, humans are also
       infected. Understanding how the pathogen is transmitted across
       species and environments is critical to its control. New
       research suggests that dairy farms may transmit the virus
       through multiple routes. We explain how targeted interventions
       in dairy farms may be needed to protect farm workers and other
       animals...
       ..We know that there can be high viral loads in milk from
       H5N1-infected cows and that it persists on milking equipment.
       There have been reports of infection in dairy workers following
       milk-based eye splashes...
       ...This study found the virus in the exhaled breath of infected
       cows and in the dairy parlor. It was also found in reclaimed
       farm wastewater on separate dairy farms on multiple days at
       multiple sites. These findings indicate extensive environmental
       contamination of H5N1 on affected dairy farms. Importantly, this
       contamination presents a potential source of infection for other
       cows, wildlife, and humans. Airborne viruses are particularly
       concerning in milking parlors because these areas are enclosed
       spaces..."
