In September, someone in Missouri became the first person in the United States (US) to test positive for bird flu but the source of the transmission was unknown.
A number of agricultural workers in the US have previously been selected to have bird flu in 2022.
In decades since the H5 bird flu was discovered in humans, there have been several rare cases where animal sources cannot be identified.
But so far, there has been no evidence of continued human-to-human transmission, which will significantly increase the threat level.
