Bird flu alert: The World Health Organization has issued an alert regarding the H5N1 virus ie bird flu . WHO has said that the world needs to be prepared for the bird flu epidemic. Bird flu virus is being transmitted from birds to animals. There have been cases of this in animals in many countries. In such a situation, there is also a risk of its human transmission. WHO has given this statement after increasing cases of bird flu in UK and its transmission in animals. The H5N1 virus is spreading rapidly from birds to animals in the UK .
After this statement of the World Health Organisation, the threat of bird flu has increased in the world, but does India also need to be alert? Let us know what the experts say about this.
Veterinary Dr. Narsi Ram says that cases of bird flu keep coming in India at different times. At present, there is a danger of increasing its cases in Chhattisgarh. Earlier, cases were coming in Kerala, that means we can say that there is nothing new in the coming of bird flu cases or increasing cases in India.
how much danger to humans
As far as the spread of flu in humans is concerned, such cases are very less reported worldwide. Human to human transmission of bird flu is also very difficult. People who do not keep in contact with birds or animals, the risk of getting bird flu is very less. Only those people are in the risk zone who work in a poultry farm or are in contact with animals throughout the day. Even if there is an infection in such people, the symptoms are very mild. The death rate in humans in bird flu is negligible. According to official records, no human has been infected with bird flu in India so far. While its cases are coming in the country for the last several years.
Fear of bird flu in Chhattisgarh
In Balod district of Chhattisgarh, more than three thousand chickens have died in three days. Due to the death of chickens in such a large number, the risk of bird flu is increasing in this district. In such a situation, samples of dead chickens have been taken. From these samples it will be checked whether bird flu has not spread in the chickens.
