A new strain of bird flu has been detected in cattle in the United States, sparking concerns about its potential transmission to humans. The strain, known as D11, has been linked to cases of flu-like symptoms in cows and has now been found in a dairy worker in Nevada.

According to a report by CBS News, the D11 strain of bird flu has been causing illness in cattle, with symptoms including fever, coughing, and respiratory distress. While the virus is typically found in birds, it is believed to have been transmitted to cows through contaminated feed or water sources.

Experts are now warning that the transmission of the D11 strain from cattle to humans is a serious concern, as it could lead to a widespread outbreak of bird flu in the human population. The Guardian reports that efforts are being made to contain the spread of the virus, but the situation remains uncertain.

Health officials are urging people to take precautions to prevent the spread of the virus, including practicing good hygiene and avoiding contact with sick animals. With the potential for a new strain of bird flu to emerge, vigilance and swift action are crucial in order to protect public health.
