H5N1 influenza outbreaks in dairy cows necessitate studying potential transmission routes among livestock and to humans. We measured the stability of infectious H5N1 influenza virus in raw milk, wastewater, and on contaminated surfaces. We found relatively slow decay in milk, indicating that contaminated milk and fomites pose plausible transmission risks.
