Measles detected in Utah wastewater
Bangladesh and India report more H5N1 infections
In Bangladesh’s case,
An investigation revealed the child had contact with backyard poultry before symptoms began. No other cases were detected, and the child has recovered. The illness marks Bangladesh’s 11th human H5N1 case since 2008 and its third of 2025.
In June, the WHO noted the two cases reported earlier this year, both of them children from Khulna division in the southwestern part of the country. Both recovered from their infections. Today’s report on the new cases didn’t note the clade, but the two cases reported earlier this year involved the older 2.3.2.1a, known to circulate in birds and poultry in Bangladesh and India.
India’s case was a grown man, who died of his infection.
Avian flu in cows is A major financial burden.
OK, I did not know this about cow behavior. Adult cows sometimes suckle on each other, and this is believed to contribute to intraherd transmission of avian flu. But the study also implicates FLIES, and this is not a happy-making thing, at all!
Even LESS happy-making: A cat transmitted plague to its owner.
Poliovirus has been found in 20 Pakistani districts.
Mississippi has a steep increase in pertussis cases.
Researchers are suggesting that maybe We don’t need our every ten years Td boosters? Sorry, I disagree. Precisely because tetanus is NOT a transmissible disease, not a public health hazard, but is a deadly hazard that lurks in the environment anywhere.

Infectious Information is a DK group for collecting diaries on all things infectious, both basic educational material and breaking news updates. Given the precarious state of public health agencies under the Orange Menace, it is my hope that the information itself can be infectious, spread widely to all your contacts, in the hope of promoting self-defense from disease. Knowledge is the best inoculation against misinformation!
