H5n1 Bird Flu

H5N1 bird flu-infected poultry found on a small American non-commercial farm. Although the pigs appeared to be healthy, a nasal swab from one of them was found to contain H5N1.

In this article, we'll explore how bird flu affects human health, the potential complications it can lead to, and why it remains a public health concern.

Forty-seven tigers, three lions and a panther have died in zoos in south Vietnam due to the H5N1 bird flu virus, state media said Wednesday.

A two-and-a-half-year-old girl tested positive for H5N1 bird flu and needed hospital intensive care treatment in Australia after travelling to India, the World Health Organization said on Friday.

The first case of H5N1 bird flu was reported in Australia this week. Is the world prepared for what could lead to the next pandemic?

The World Health Organization voiced alarm Thursday at the growing spread of H5N1 bird flu to new species, including humans, who face an "extraordinarily high" mortality rate.

The U.S. CDC on Friday issued a health alert to inform clinicians, state health departments and the public of a case of avian influenza in a person who had contact with dairy cows presumed to be infected with the virus.

The Health Ministry expressed concern that changing weather patterns, brought on by shifting seasons, could create favourable conditions for the virus to spread.

Dr Bell emphasises the urgent need for research and surveillance to understand the virus's adaptability and potential to infect more species.

A deadly type of bird flu has been confirmed on the mainland of Antarctica for the first time, scientists said, a potential risk for the southern region's huge penguin colonies.

Other wildlife affected by bird flu in the Antarctic include elephant seals, fur seals, kelp gulls, and brown skuas.

In the last two years, as more wild birds got sick, different animals like dolphins, porpoises, seals, foxes, and otters also got the disease.

H5N1 has been classified as a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus because of its high death toll in poultry.

An outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza that started in 2021 has become the largest bird flu outbreak in history, both in the US and worldwide.

The death of an 11-year-old girl in Cambodia and the father's H5N1 positive test raised concerns about probable person-to-person transmission.
