Protein Reagents to Support Influenza A (H5N1) Outbreak

 

On March 25, 2024, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the first identification of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus type A (H5N1) in U.S. dairy cattle. The virus has since been confirmed in cattle herds across 16 states. Since the outbreak began, 70 human cases of HPAI in the United States have been confirmed. Of these, 24 cases involved poultry farm workers exposed to infected poultry, while 41 cases involved dairy farm workers exposed to sick or infected cows.

 

BEI Resources is offering purified hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) proteins from (H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b virus associated with the recent cattle outbreak in the United States.
