WASHINGTON, D.C.: A second case of bird flu has been found in a human, US health authorities announced Wednesday, less then two months after the first one as an outbreak of the disease circulates widely among dairy cows.

Both individuals infected with the virus called H5N1 -- the first in Texas, the second in Michigan -- were dairy farm workers who suffered only minor symptoms and have recovered, according to authorities.Despite the second infection, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said its risk assessment for the general public remained 'low,' but it did suggest it expects more cases.

The US Department of Agriculture said it has identified spread between cows within the same herd and between dairies associated with cattle movements.When treated, sick cows can recover 'with little to no associated mortality,' the department said in a statement in late April.It added: 'It is important to remember that thus far, we have not found changes to the virus that would make it more transmissible to humans and between people.
