Summary
A new H5N1 avian flu strain is raising global alarms as it spreads beyond birds into mammals like foxes and seals — a worrying sign of viral adaptation. While human cases remain rare, scientists are intensely monitoring for any evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission, which would dramatically escalate the threat. Genetic analysis is underway to detect dangerous mutations, and public health officials are ramping up surveillance in both animal and human populations to stay ahead of potential outbreaks.
