A rare form of bird flu that can infect humans has been detected for the first time in the US, officials said Monday.
The H5N9 strain was found at a California duck farm that has already lost nearly 119,000 birds to the more common H5N1 variant of the disease, which is formally known as Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), officials said.
“This is the first confirmed case of HPAI H5N9 in poultry in the United States,” the US Department of Agriculture said in a report to the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) on Monday.
The positive test at the Merced County farm has led to “comprehensive epidemiological investigations and enhanced surveillance,” the government report noted.
H5N9 is a rare form of the common H5N1 bird flu, which has recently spread aggressively around the US, leading to the culling of hundreds of millions of poultry.
There have been 66 confirmed human cases of the bird flu in the US over the past year, with the first death recorded earlier this month in Louisiana, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The new virus strain as the N9 gene that also makes it possible to infect humans, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has said.
“Whether this novel H5N9 virus will cause human infections from its avian host and become a pandemic subtype is not known yet,” the NIH said in in an earlier report about the strain.
Officials say people with jobs dealing with the infected birds are at the greatest risk for infection.
So far, experts have yet to detect a significant change in the virus and its different strains that could cause another pandemic in the US.
With Post wires
In a concerning development, the first outbreak of a rare bird flu strain has been detected at a duck farm in California. Authorities are working quickly to contain the spread of the virus and prevent it from spreading further.
The rare bird flu strain, known as H7N3, poses a significant threat to both birds and humans. While the virus primarily affects birds, it can also be transmitted to humans through close contact with infected birds or their droppings.
Officials are urging caution and vigilance among poultry farmers and the general public to prevent the spread of the virus. Proper biosecurity measures, such as limiting contact with wild birds and implementing strict hygiene practices, are crucial in preventing the spread of avian flu strains.
It is essential for farmers and the public to report any sick or dead birds to authorities immediately to prevent further spread of the virus. The health and safety of both birds and humans are of utmost importance in containing and controlling outbreaks of avian flu strains.
Stay informed and stay vigilant to help prevent the spread of the rare bird flu strain detected at the Calif. duck farm. Let’s work together to protect our feathered friends and ourselves from this potentially dangerous virus.

The first outbreak of a rare bird flu in poultry has been detected on a duck farm in California, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) said on Monday.
Authorities said the discovery of H5N9 bird flu in poultry came alongside the detection of the more common H5N1 strain on the same farm in Merced county, California, and that almost 119,000 birds on the farm had been killed since early December.
“This is the first confirmed case of HPAI H5N9 in poultry in the United States,” the US Department of Agriculture said in the report to the WOAH.
“The USDA animal and plant health inspection service (APHIS), in conjunction with state animal health and wildlife officials, are conducting comprehensive epidemiological investigations and enhanced surveillance in response to the HPAI related events,” it added.
Highly pathogenic bird flu (HPAI) is of rising concern to epidemiologists. The US National Library of Medicine lists H5N9 as a subtype avian influenza virus.
“Whether this novel H5N9 virus will cause human infections from its avian host and become a pandemic subtype is not known yet,” it warns on its website. “It is therefore imperative to assess the risk of emergence of this novel reassortant virus with potential transmissibility to public health.”
Bird flu has spread around the globe in recent years, leading to the culling of hundreds of millions of poultry. It also spread to dozens of mammal species, including dairy cows in the US, and killed a person in Louisiana earlier this year.
H5N1 avian flu in spreading in US cattle herds and poultry stocks, with the US Department of Agriculture reporting that more than 13,000,000 birds were affected in the last 30 days across all 50 states by the flu. H5N1 bird flu has infected or killed 136m birds since the outbreak began in 2022.
That has led to rising prices for eggs. The US Bureau of Labor statistics says that in September 2023, the average price for a dozen Grade A eggs was just over $2. Now more than a year later, the data shows that price has more than doubled to $4.16 in December 2024.
An avian flu outbreak at a duck farm on New York’s Long Island was reported last week with federal officials ordering the destruction of the operation’s entire 100,000 flock. The farm had been in operation since the 1640s.
Bird flu outbreaks are also increasing within dairy herds, with more than 900 herds infected across the US and 67 people infected. The increases do not yet suggest that a human pandemic is inevitable, but authorities are concerned about bird flu in domestic cats.
According to a study published last year in the academic journal Emerging Microbes and Infections, cat H5N1 genomes had unique mutations that could suggest “potential virus adaptation”. It found cats could “serve as mixing vessels for reassortment of avian and mammalian influenza viruses” as well as act as a “bridge” to infect other species.
The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says that “while the current public health risk is low, CDC is watching the situation carefully and working with states to monitor people with animal exposures”.
In a recent development, the first outbreak of a rare bird flu strain has been reported at a poultry farm in California. The strain, known as H5N8, is highly contagious and can spread rapidly among birds.
Authorities are taking swift action to contain the outbreak and prevent it from spreading further. Measures such as culling infected birds, disinfecting the farm, and implementing biosecurity protocols are being put in place to control the situation.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture is working closely with local officials and poultry farmers to monitor the situation and prevent any potential human infections. While the risk to humans is currently low, it is important to take precautions and avoid contact with sick or dead birds.
This outbreak serves as a reminder of the importance of biosecurity measures in preventing the spread of bird flu strains. Farmers and poultry owners are urged to be vigilant and report any signs of illness in their birds to authorities. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation.

There was an overnight fire at major chicken farm in South Carolina.
Multiple fire departments responded to the blaze at the Amick Farms plant on U.S. 178/Batesburg Highway. That’s near the intersection with Spann Road in the Batesburg-Leesville area of Saluda County.
No injuries were reported in the fire at “one of the most important businesses in Saluda County,” Saluda County EMS said on it’s Facebook page.
Information about the cause of the fire, and where it started at the chicken farm in the Midlands, was not available. Messages left with the Batesburg-Leesville Fire Department, Saluda County Fire Service and Lexington County Fire Service weren’t immediately returned.
Firefighters responded to the burning facility at 9:30 p.m. Saturday, according to a post from Lexington County, SC Firewire.
There was no word about how long it took to get the fire under control and extinguished, or the extent of the damage caused to the chicken plant.
Firefighters respond to a fire at Amick Farms in Batesburg.
Photos shared by Saluda County EMS show flames visible from the outside of the facility.
The Saluda County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the fire. Information about an investigation, and which agency was leading the inquiry, was not immediately available. There was no word if foul play was suspected.
“We appreciate the extraordinary efforts of our local emergency responders, and we are conducting an investigation to determine the cause of the fire,” Amick Farms officials said on social media.
Amick Farms, which was founded in 1941 in Batesburg, now has more than 3,500 employees and produces more than 1.4 billion pounds of chicken products annually, according to its website.
The Batesburg facility has 1,770 employees, according to Zoominfo.
Amick Farms’ products are distributed in more than 40 states in retail, food service and industrial markets. In addition to the facility in Batesburg, Amick Farms has plants that include a feed mill and hatchery in both Hurlock, Maryland and Laurel, Mississippi.
Firefighters respond to a fire at Amick Farms in Batesburg.
There was no word about how the fire at the Batesburg-Leesville facility might affect Amick Farms’ overall operation, or how long it will take to recover from damage caused by the blaze.
“Our thoughts are with the Amick Farms work force today,” Saluda County EMS said.
Amick Farms officials said work would be disrupted for at least two days. Both Sunday’s sanitation and night shift as well as Monday’s day shift employees were told not to report for their normally scheduled shifts.
“Appropriate measures are being taken to best serve our team members, growers and customers,” Amick Farms officials said. “We appreciate your commitment to your job and being a part of the Amick Team!”
In November 2024, there was a fire at a Maryland farm that had a contract with Amick Farms where about 20,000 chickens died, WBOC reported.
This is a developing story, check back for updates.
