#Cows Have Been Infected With a Second Form of #BirdFlu
A new version of the #virus is widespread in wild birds but had not previously been detected in cows
The finding indicates that the virus, known as #H5N1, has spilled from birds into cows at least twice — leading to these two sets of infections — and that it could continue to do so. It also suggests that the virus may pose a persistent risk to cows and to the people who work closely with them.

‘A Dangerous #Virus’: #BirdFlu Enters a New Phase
#pandemic is not inevitable, scientists say. But #outbreak has passed worrisome milestones recently, including #cattle that may have been reinfected.
#H5N1 has infected over 900 herds and dozens of people, killing one, and outbreak shows no signs of abating. “You could easily end up with endemically circulating H5 in dairy herds without symptoms, obscuring rapid or easy detection,” Dr. Moncla said.

#SmallRNA pathways can regulate eukaryotic antiviral defense. This study in #Celegans shows that a subunit of the dREAM complex regulates antiviral RNAi in response to Orsay #virus infection; if mutated it can generate a constitutive state of antiviral readiness #plosbiology https://plos.io/4hziGlf
