Discussed in this episode:
- H5N1 Avian Influenza has been confirmed in a second dairy worker, this time in Michigan. There are now 56 dairy herds with confirmed outbreaks.
- A Letter to the Editor in the New England Journal of Medicine details how a laboratory process similar (but not identical) to pasteurization failed to completely eliminate active H5N1 virus in infected milk samples. (There was enough active virus left to infect mice).
