New bird flu strain detected on poultry farm as experts monitor mutations

A new strain of bird flu (highly pathogenic bird influenza or HPAI) has been detected on a duck farm in California.

Earlier, the world's animal health agency (WOAH) reported the occurrence of new shares H5N9 on the website earlier this week.

According to reports, more common H5N1 shares were found on the same farm on the same farm in the same farm.

“This is the first confirmed case of HPAI H5N9 in US poultry,” WOAH wrote.

According to the statement, health agencies are conducting “comprehensive epidemiological surveys and strengthening monitoring”.

David J. Senimo, an associate professor in the Infectious Disease Department of Latgaz New Medical University, said that the new strain could point out the “adaptability” of influenza virus.

“Birds are generally susceptible to bird flu. Some viruses are mild and some are fatal,” he told Fox News Digital.

According to Cennimo, H5n9 is found in the past and generally cause mild birds.

“But the duck in California was dying,” he said. “In the genetic test, it was shown that this H5N9 was actually a re -placed, unlike a historical sample.”

(According to the National Institute of Health, the relocation is the process of replacing the genetic segment by influenza virus.)

According to Cennimo, scientists use influenza viruses based on HS and NS (hemaggul chinin and neura minidase surface protein).

Doctors said that all H1 versions are not the same because of the “continuous mutation” of influenza stocks.

“This is why humans take influenza vaccines every year, and they will see the strain composition changes for several years, despite the H1N1 and H3N2.

“In this case, the H5 of H5n9 is the H5 of the current H5n1 bird influenza, which is more pathogenic.”

“H5n9 is generally not a very dangerous virus, but you need to pay attention to this new strain.”

In H5n9, he said that the virus seemed to have switched N1 and picked up N9 from another virus.

He said this could occur when two different viruses could be infected with the same animal at the same time.

“H5n9 is not a very dangerous virus, but we need to look at this new strain,” said Cennimo.

“I have never known H5n9 human infectious diseases. I repeat, but this is monitored.”

Jump from birds to humans

Dr. Jacob Glanville, CEO of Centivax, a biotechnology company in San Francisco, told Fox News Digital that birds were always a “reservoir” that many types of influenza that do not usually infect people.

“Researchers are monitoring them because bird Fulls has evolved to become a human pandemic strain in the past,” he told Fox News Digital. “In order to infect human beings, it is necessary to mutate to adapt to human hosts from birds.”

To date, according to the CDC, 67 human bird flu and one death case have been confirmed in the United States. (ISTOCK)

According to Granville, researchers are worried that the poultry farm has a big occurrence of a bird flass.

In addition to hindering food supply, if many infected birds are close to pigs, cows and humans, the risk of mutation that may spread to “mammalian infections” will increase significantly. 。

“This is the main concern of H5N1,” he said. “Other reports of bird flu are worth monitoring, but are currently low risk.”

According to the Diseases Management Prevention Center (CDC), there have been 67 human bird flu and one death in the United States.
