U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has named Johns Hopkins surgeon Dr. Marty Makari as director of the Food and Drug Administration and FDA.

Trump's new health team has pledged to tackle diabetes, heart disease and chronic diseases instead of responding to the epidemic.

Health experts currently cite avian influenza H5N1 as the most likely pathogen for the epidemic.

It is spreading beyond poultry to mammals, and in the United States, more than 50 farm workers who came into contact with infected cows contracted avian influenza.

Recently, cases of the disease have occurred in California and Canada without contact with infected animals, and the virus has also been detected in commercially available raw milk.
