At the same time, these viruses have substantially broadened their host range. Typically, H5N1 circulates in poultry, waterfowl, and shorebirds, but the breadth of avian species affected has increased and spillover to mammals has become common. The recent changes in H5N1 ecology have brought die-offs in wild birds and marine mammals, a sustained outbreak in US dairy cattle, and recurring spillover into domestic cats. Maintenance of H5N1 in wild birds in North America has furthermore produced a persistent risk to US poultry. Circulation of H5N1 in domestic animals has resulted in human infections, especially among farm workers and veterinarians, events that heighten the potential for a pandemic. Through their central position in One Health, veterinarians have a critical role to play in mitigating the impact of H5N1 on animal health, agriculture, and public health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.25.05.0294","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,25]],"date-time":"2025-06-25T10:29:41Z","timestamp":1750847381000},"page":"1192-1195","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Controlling bird flu is urgent\u2014for dairy, wildlife, poultry, pets, and people"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"263","author":[{"given":"Anice C.","family":"Lowen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, School of Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, GA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew S.","family":"Bowman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan A.","family":"Runstadler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Disease and Global Health, Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, Tufts University, North Grafton, MA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amy L.","family":"Baker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Virus and Prion Research Unit, National Animal Disease Center, Agricultural Research Service, USDA, Ames, IA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adolfo","family":"Garc\u00eda-Sastre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY"},{"name":"Global Health and Emerging Pathogens Institute, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY"},{"name":"Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY"},{"name":"Tisch Cancer Institute, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY"},{"name":"Department of Pathology, Molecular, and Cell-Based Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Scott E.","family":"Hensley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seema S.","family":"Lakdawala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, School of Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, GA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Louise H.","family":"Moncla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathobiology, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marthal","family":"Nelson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Library of Medicine, NIH, Bethesda, MD"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Pekosz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"W.
