A shocking news has come to light regarding bird flu in Louisiana, America. Actually, a 65 year old man has died due to this flu here. A few days ago, this patient was admitted to the hospital of Mid South State. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has described this as the first case of H5N1 virus spreading in humans. Bird flu is spreading very fast in America these days. Louisiana health authorities said in a statement announcing the death that the risk among the general public is low, but people who live or work around birds, chickens and cows need to be careful these days. .
Person to person transmission?
According to the report, the patient contracted the disease after coming in contact with non-commercial wild birds. But at present the state has not given any confirmation regarding this. Special programs have been created by the federal government to monitor H5N1. Research on this is going on.

Danger of bird flu to humans from pets

Professor Andrew Pollard at Oxford University’s Pandemic Sciences Institute said that he was not at all surprised to see that the dog had taken the bird flu virus into itself.
This virus has wiped out millions of birds in many countries of the world in the last two years and has badly affected not only birds but also many animals including otters, seals, harbor porpoises and foxes etc. Let us know what symptoms can be seen in humans after getting infected with bird flu.
