Russia has discovered the first human cases of the highly infectious H5N8 bird flu virus at a poultry farm in the south of the country, it emerged today.
Scientists identified seven workers who were infected with the virus in December. It is the first time this strain of avian influenza – which is deadly to birds – has been identified in humans.
Moscow today announced it has informed the World Health Organization about the jump of H5N8 from birds to humans.
The H5N8 strain of bird flu was detected in poultry in the UK in December 2020 according to the European Food Safety Authority. Hundreds of thousands of birds – including turkeys – were slaughtered in a bid to stall the spread of the virus.
The highly infectious disease – which has an avian mortality rate up to 100 per cent – has also been detected in migratory and wild birds across the continent.
Can’t we get a time out from all this virus, flu, economy, feelings, beliefs, he said she said, CONgress being hateful, open close school and all I want to do is go outside for a change stuff?
