H5N1 has the ability to jump from one species to another, as demonstrated by its transmission between birds, cattle and, in rare cases, humans.

This interspecies transmission highlights how our environment and our daily interactions with animals, even in domestic settings, can serve as contact points for emerging pathogens.

The US response to this emergency should not be seen as a sign of panic, but rather as a mature approach to public health management.
