This study evaluates the thermal inactivation of HPAI H5N1 virus in raw milk under various conditions, finding efficient inactivation except for certain thermization protocols.

This study investigates H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b virus infection in calves and lactating cows, finding that mammary gland infection causes severe mastitis and reduced milk production, with transmission likely via milk rather than respiratory routes.

This study reports the spillover of HPAI H5N1 virus to dairy cattle, showing efficient intra- and interspecies transmission and viral tropism in mammary gland epithelial cells.
