Louisiana has reported the first death from avian influenza in the United States.
This marks the first fatality in the U.S. related to this virus, which has raised concerns over public health.
Avian influenza, also known as H5N1, can be transmitted by both wild and farmed birds, and although human transmission has been rare, cases of infection have been recorded in several states.
Authorities are taking cautious measures and recommend strengthening safety protocols to protect the population from potential risks.
