Cats are at Risk of Bird Flu: What Do Owners Need to Know?

As reported by Science News on Friday, May 31, 2024, when bird flu infects mammals, the virus can undergo random mutations. These mutations will help the virus replicate better when in mammalian cells. This increases the likelihood that avian influenza can adapt and spread easily in humans. Veterinarian and environmental epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Maryland, USA, Meghan Davis said that cats may become infected after catching wild birds outdoors. Although the cat did not eat the wild bird, it is considered physical contact that can transmit the virus. In addition, the diet humans feed their pets can also be harmful to cats. "Raw meat diets, and particularly raw poultry diets, have been associated with some of these cases," says Dav...
