Background

H5N1, also known as “bird flu,” is a disease caused by influenza A viruses, and is carried and
spread by wild birds. While bird flu primarily affects poultry and other birds, the virus can also
infect cattle, other animals, and humans. Currently, bird flu is widespread in wild birds globally,
causing outbreaks in poultry and dairy cows. While the risk of bird flu infection remains low for
the general public, the Teaneck Health Department continues to collaborate with state and
federal agencies to monitor and respond to any developments.
