The senior correspondent of Fox News, Jonathan Serrie, talks to experts in medicine and agricultural about lactose and dairy cattle tests for aviar flu.
The USDA Animal and Plants Health Inspection Service (APHIS) recently confirmed that the deadly avian flu genotype responsible for killing flocks throughout the country was found in Nevada dairy cattle.
The National Veterinary Services Laboratories of APHIS (NVSL) found on Friday the D1.1 genotype of the highly pathogenic influenza (HPAI) in dairy cattle, according to a statement.
Confirmation occurred as the result of state tracking and investigation, after an initial detection of silo tests under the national milk test strategy in Nevada, authorities said.

“The USDA ABHIS continues to work with the Nevada Agriculture Department conducting additional investigation in the farm, tests and collecting additional epidemiological information to better understand this detection and limit a greater propagation of diseases,” reads the statement.
This is the first detection of the virus genotype in dairy cattle: all previous detections in dairy cattle have been a different genotype, B3.13.

Genotype D1.1 represents the predominant genotype on the laps of North America during autumn and winter and has been identified in wild birds, mammals and spills in domestic birds, according to Aphis.
The eggs are becoming increasingly difficult to find and more expensive throughout the country due to avian flu, Fox Business previously reported.
The detection does not change the HPAI eradication strategy of the USDA and “it is a testimony of the strength of our national milk test strategy.” According to the officials.
