On October 1, speaking with Tuoi Tre Online, a representative of the Mango Garden tourist area (Bien Hoa City, Dong Nai) confirmed that the unit is verifying and clarifying the cause of the death of about 20 tigers and 1 leopard in the tourist area. Initial information shows that the tigers and leopards show signs of illness. Currently, there are still a few dozen tigers and leopards in the tourist area. (…) This unit has received information shared from the Veterinary Department of Region VI about the recording of dead tigers and leopards with positive test results for influenza A/H5N1 virus. (…) Specifically, in Long An province, from August to September 16, 2024, at My Quynh Zoo (Long An), 30 tigers and lions died (27 tigers and 3 lions). (…) The remaining individuals originated from the zoo, and test results showed that the tiger samples taken at the zoo were positive for influenza A/H5N1.(…) In Long An province, it was determined that 3 zoo employees had direct contact with the tiger, while in Dong Nai province, preliminary information showed that about 30 people had contact with the tiger.

The NYT finally notices that the avian influenza virus been victorious in infecting US cow farms:

"How U.S. Farms Could Start a Bird Flu Pandemic"

https://archive.is/5eOOt

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/21/health/bird-flu-cattle-pandemic.html

The virus is not going away. Apparently, the cows' udders are excellent viral breeding spots. So the Big Dairy industry is going to literally fulfill Rob Wallace's book title from years ago: "Big farms make big flu".

The fact that it's endemic in cows or "enzootic", as they put it, means that the cows are plague spreaders. Wherever they go: bird flu. Wherever the raw milk goes: bird flu. Whoever works there: bird flu. Whoever works there and travels to other animal farms... flu chaos. That's the thing, influenza viruses don't stay the same, they evolve and they also mix with other influenza viruses ("reassortment"). This means that any other influenza virus needs to be kept away from these cows, including seasonal flu (humans) and pig flu. What are the odds of this isolation happening successfully long-term?

The NYT article noticed that this failure is akin to what happened in China in 2019 when they successfully failed to end the (very large and profitable) wild animal farming sector which was the breeding ground for SARS-CoV-2. Whoever is reading this, you can be certain that there already are "lab leak" conspiracy theories about the mooFlu in the US. Neither regimes are going to do anything about it, as these sectors are large and create GDP, and what is needed is to end them.

H9N2 IAV is likely enzootic in Punjab Province Pakistan's live bird markets and may be colonizing the noses of #workers and market visitors. Regular monitoring for avian influenza-associated human illness in Punjab seems to be a needed public measure.

Our observations suggest C. nigribarbis may acquire the HPAI virus from deceased wild #birds directly or from #fecal materials from infected birds, highlighting the need to add blowflies as a target of HPAI vector control.
