Bird flu outbreak at Utah mink farm raises alarm
Original: Bird flu outbreak at Utah mink farm sparks concerns about government response
An outbreak of bird flu has been confirmed at a mink farm in Utah, drawing attention to how US authorities are responding to the virus's spread in mammals. The case has renewed concerns among scientists and commentators that the government's handling of the outbreak may be inadequate, given the risk of the virus adapting to spread among mammals and potentially closer to humans.
Why now: The detection of avian influenza in farmed mink raises fears about mammalian transmission and the adequacy of official containment efforts.
