Reuters has reported new instances of avian influenza detected among wild birds in western China, according to announcements from the country’s agriculture ministry. The growing alarm over an American outbreak potentially affecting cattle underscores the situation’s seriousness.

In Qinghai province, health officials have documented 275 cases of H5 influenza among deceased Pallas’s gulls and other wild avian species, as per the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. These findings, reported by the China Animal Disease Control Center, were confirmed by the national Avian Influenza Reference Laboratory.

Meanwhile, in the United States, an H5N1 influenza outbreak has emerged in dairy cattle across nine states since late March, prompting concerns about possible transmission to humans. However, no human cases have been confirmed.

In response to the escalating situation, the US government on May 11 committed approximately $200 million to combat the spread of the disease.

Additionally, the announcement of the avian influenza cases in China coincided with the country’s anti-corruption agency initiating an investigation into the agriculture minister.
