Bird Flu

A Missouri bird flu case first reported by the CDC in September has drawn national attention. The CDC released findings related to the case last week, October 24. Monday KSMU spoke by phone with Fenit Nirappil public health reporter for the Washington Post, to help put this story in context and ask about what he has learned in his reporting.

Five health care workers and one family member were tested after a Missouri resident was diagnosed with bird flu in September.
