Abstract
H5N1 is an avian influenza virus that causes respiratory disease in birds and several land and sea mammals. The recent outbreak in the United States, including infection of dairy workers, has increased the concern around potential transmission and spread. We asked virologists, epidemiologists, and public health experts what the most urgent questions and action points are at this stage of the outbreak.
