A single mutation in the virus currently infecting poultry and dairy farms across the U.S. could help the it spread among humans.

Although it does not generally infect humans, a single mutation of the H5N1 virus in the highly pathogenic avian and bovine clade 2.3.4.4b could overcome this barrier and possibly trigger a pandemic.
