What is the current risk that a dog in the United States will become infected with avian influenza A |
|
As long as there is no influenza A (H5N1) in the United
States, there is no risk of a U.S. dog becoming infected
with this disease. The virus circulating in Asia, Europe
and Africa has not yet entered the United States. CDC is
working closely with domestic and international partners
to continually monitor this situation and will provide
additional information to the public as it becomes
available. There is not enough information available
about avian influenza A (H5N1) infection in dogs to know
how infection would occur.
