Dozens of cases of avian influenza in wild birds and the first verified U.S. case of a new strain of the virus are raising concern the bird flu crisis may be entering a troubling new phase.

Officials in Pennsylvania and New York have culled thousands of wild geese , as well as commercial poultry flocks, after detecting cases of flu.

Wild birds can be infected and show no signs of illness, allowing them to spread the virus to new areas and potentially expose domestic poultry.

The outbreak is intensifying as the Trump administration maintains a pause on most external federal health agency communications.
