The finding raises concerns about the potential for the virus to spread more easily between animals and potentially to humans. While there is currently no evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission of H5N1 bird flu, the mutation identified in the dairy cows is a known marker for increased transmissibility in mammals.

Experts are closely monitoring the situation and working to prevent further spread of the virus. The USDA is urging all poultry producers to maintain strict biosecurity measures to prevent the introduction and spread of avian influenza on their farms.

For more information on the latest developments in the fight against bird flu, check out the USDA’s official report and stay tuned for updates from STAT.

An unnamed source cited by CNN reported on Saturday that a Nevada dairy worker has tested positive for a new variant of bird flu, known as genotype D1.1. This new strain is different from the B3.13 virus responsible for the main outbreak. The test results are pending confirmation by the CDC.

Florian Krammer, a flu virologist at Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine, expressed concern about the possibility of more spillovers of the virus. He stated, “The first seemed like a black swan event. But if it happens twice, I am sure it happens more often.” Krammer emphasized the importance of studying the transmissibility and severity of this new variant in ferrets, which serve as the best animal model for flu in humans.

In a surprising turn of events, the U.S. Department of Justice has changed its stance on the Supreme Court case U.S. v. Skrmetti. The case challenges Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth. Under the previous administration, the DOJ argued that the ban constituted sex discrimination and requested a higher level of judicial scrutiny. However, the current administration, led by President Trump, has reversed this position. The DOJ now contends that the ban does not amount to sex discrimination but has not sought to dismiss the case. Deputy solicitor general Curtis E. Gannon stated that the court should decide the case, as it could impact similar cases in lower courts.

The Supreme Court is expected to make a decision on the U.S. v. Skrmetti case later this spring. The outcome of this ruling could have far-reaching implications not only for access to gender-affirming care for transgender individuals but also for the regulation of healthcare by states.

In other news, NPR reported on a new law that provides healthcare access to youths leaving prison. The New York Times covered the controversy surrounding a ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) language in the sciences. Additionally, STAT discussed the FDA’s approach to antibiotics and the concerns raised by researchers about genetic databases. The New Yorker published an essay on relationships with left-handed women, while also reporting on a shakeup in U.S. science that has raised alarms about the integrity of key genetic databases.

These stories offer a glimpse into the current events shaping the healthcare, legal, and scientific landscapes in the United States.
