Until recently, all dairy herd bird flu detections in the United States had been bird flu or avian influenza, known as the B3.13 strain. This second version of bird flu, known as D1.1, has only ever previously been detected in wild birds and poultry, indicating that it has now spilled over into cows.
“USDA [United States Department of Agriculture] APHIS [Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services] continues to work with the Nevada Department of Agriculture by conducting additional on-farm investigation, testing, and gathering additional epidemiological information to better understand this detection and limit further disease spread,” the agency said in a statement on its website.
According to a report by ABC News, there has been a total of 957 confirmed cattle infections in 16 states, with 36 new infections in the last 30 days in California and Nevada, the latest USDA data shows. D1.1 has also been shown to potentially be dangerous to humans. Of the 67 human cases of bird flu detected in the U.S. beginning in April 2024, one of the only patients infected with D1.1 was in Louisiana.
Bird Flu Outbreak Enters “New Phase”
The USDA said the D1.1 detection in dairy cows “does not change USDA’s [bird flu] eradication strategy and is a testament to the strength of our National Milk Testing Strategy.” It also says that the risk to humans is still low.

The APHIS said that wild birds can be infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and show no signs of illness (like COVID-19). They can carry the disease to new areas when migrating, potentially exposing domestic poultry to the virus.
This was the same rhetoric used to control humans under the guise of the invisible enemy. People who weren’t sick were blamed for those who were, and everyone was forced to “lockdown” to “slow the spread” and “flatten the curve.” It worked well in the recent past, so its safe to say that the rulers could be trying this again. Although, this rollout is much slower than the COVID-19 narrative. Bird flu could still drag on for another year while they kill of meat birds and laying hens and push the costs even higher.
