The World Health Organization considers the virus a public health concern because of its potential to cause a pandemic.
A lack of testing means the country might not notice if the virus begins to spread between people.
“We’re flying blind,” says Jennifer Nuzzo , director of the Brown University School of Public Health .
The CDC and local health departments have tried to boost bird flu testing among farmworkers.
The outreach might not be in the languages the farmworkers speak, for example, or address such concerns as a loss of employment.
The fastest way to get clinical labs involved is to allow them to use a test the FDA has already authorized.
Clinical laboratories have also begun to develop their own tests from scratch.
Researchers said they’re moving cautiously because of a recent FDA rule that gives the agency more oversight of lab-developed tests.
It’s not clear whether this outbreak in cattle will trigger an epidemic or fizzle out.
