A spokesperson for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig's office on Tuesday said the layoffs had had no effect on the department's bird flu response. But the USDA acknowledged that, as NBC News reported earlier Tuesday, it was seeking to rehire key workers in the bird flu response that it said it had accidentally laid off. And Politico reported that about a quarter of the employees had been laid off in a USDA office that coordinates the work of labs around the country that keep tabs on bird flu.  [emphasis added]
