A small study in Texas suggests that human bird flu cases are being missed on dairy farms where the H5N1 virus has taken off in cows.

The finding adds some data to what many experts have suspected amid the outbreak.

The official tally of human cases in the dairy outbreak is 14 : four in dairy farm workers and 10 in workers on poultry farms.
