A worker on a dairy farm in California has contracted avian influenza from the cattle, the second case in the state and the 16th in the United States.
Six of the 16 were working with infected dairy cattle and the others with infected poultry.
None of the people fell seriously ill, nor have any cattle died of the disease, but it’s deadly in poultry.
There have been no cases of highly-pathogenic avian influenza in cattle or people in Canada.
