"It has been determined" that infected dairy herd serology can be disclosed


As widely suspected, H5N1 infection in dairy herds spreads widely in both lactating and non-lactating animals, most likely by classical influenza oronasal routes

As a result, federal-state-industry collaborators rapidly developed an animal movement and voluntary clinical illness surveillance program based on this flawed milk-udder transmission-based influenza virus spread model in dairy cattle. The blood samples from this herd were drawn on June 20th, about a month after the paper was submitted, indicating that the Ohio State-Cornell researchers were prudently following up on the subclinical illness issue suggested by the reported PCR findings. That subset of researchers likely had preliminary serology results and strongly suspected classical oronasal viral infection in the Ohio herd by the date of the paper’s release, as they implied in their summary language.
