Alert! Three black swans in Yuanmingyuan, Beijing, are infected with avian influenza! Can avian influenza be transmitted to humans?

According to media reports, on February 2, Beijing Haidian District, the office of the Command for the Prevention and Control of Major Animal Outbreaks informed the Yuanmingyuan Site Park of wild black swans infected with H5N8 subtype of highly pathogenic avian influenza.
22-25, 2021, three black swans died in Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park, which was clinically diagnosed as H5N8 subtype of highly pathogenic avian influenza, according to the report.
to three dead black swans, found that 2 adult black swans have been poor physical fitness, the other young black swan body immunity is weak, coupled with cold winter weather, for the high incidence of highly pathogenic avian influenza, thus increasing the risk of infection of avian influenza virus.
At present, the black swan habitat has been closed and quarantined, and all wild bird habitat in the park disinfection, sample testing is negative, the disease is now only in the local area, and has been effectively controlled, no infection in other areas.
Understand that highly pathogenic avian influenza avian influenza is an acute, highly contact infectious disease caused by avian influenza virus, avian influenza virus is a multi-subtype (16 HA and 9 NA subtypes), multi-host virus, depending on the pathogenicity, avian influenza can be divided into highly pathogenic, low pathogenic and non-pathogenic.
, highly pathogenic avian influenza is a hemorrhagic, acute and highly contagious disease, and sudden death and high mortality are the main characteristics of highly pathogenic avian influenza.
highly pathogenic avian influenza includes some strains of H5 and H7 subtypes.
The World Health Organization has listed highly pathogenic avian influenza as a legally reported animal outbreak, and in China's National Medium- and Long-Term Animal Epidemic Prevention and Control Plan (2012-2020), highly pathogenic avian influenza has been listed as one of the major animal diseases to be prevented and controlled as a priority.
avian influenza mainly through contact with infected birds and their secretions and excreta, through the respiratory tract, digestive tract infections.
bird flu infect people? Citrus infection objects are different, influenza can be divided into human influenza, avian influenza and swine flu three.
, viral infections exist as an intersethic barrier, and avian influenza is not easily transmitted to humans.
, however, since the emergence of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza infected humans in 1997, H5N1, H9N2 and multiple H7 subtypes (H7N7, H7N2, H7N3, H7N9) avian influenza virus infection has occurred repeatedly, constantly threatening human health.
last year, wild birds and poultry H5N8 outbreaks have occurred in Europe, the Middle East, East Asia and other regions.
, no cases of H5N8 avian influenza have been detected worldwide, according to WHO.
Avian influenza is still a threat to human health, therefore, in daily life we should pay attention to prevent avian influenza, avoid contact with live poultry, wash hands, wear masks, cooking meat must be cooked through to eat! 39 Health.com Source: 39 Health.com Copyright Notice: All text, images and audio and video materials on this website that indicate "Source: Mets Medicine" or "Source: MedSci Original" are owned by Mets Medical, and are not authorized to be reproduced by any media, website or individual, and are authorized to be reproduced with the words "Source: Mets Medicine".
