The Atlantic (Feb. 28) – In October, a bird-flu outbreak at a Spanish mink farm killed thousands of the animals before the rest were culled. There is no evidence of infection of any of the workers at the mink farm and other outbreaks have proven to be less dangerous to humans than expected, says U. of I. veterinary clinical medicine professor James Lowe, an expert on diseases that jump from other animals to humans. “We’re just not very susceptible” to bird flu, even when other mammals are infected, Lowe says.
