The WHO has recently expressed “grave concern” over the global spread of the H5N1 strain of bird flu and the first case of human infection. Are you worried about the situation?
There is growing concern over a deadly disease transmitted from animals to humans, and, perhaps in the case of additional mutations, from humans to humans. This is bird flu. In mid-April, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that “tremendous concern” address the speed of spread of the H5N1 strain, which affects new species, including humans. The first case was recorded in Texas (United States of America). The person was contaminated by a dairy cow. At the moment, experts promise that there is no reason to fall into psychosis because there is no evidence that it can be transmitted between people.
If the international health authorities want to be positive, are you more or less worried about the spread of the disease? A number of measures have been taken in recent days on European and French farms to, firstly, limit transmission between species and, secondly, prevent breeders or people around these farms from being contaminated.
“The vaccination worked and proved its effectiveness”
In the Gers, for example, farmers are calm because the epidemic was expected – an epidemic that affects animals. Since last fall, a massive vaccination campaign has been underway to protect duck and other poultry farms. “The vaccination worked and proved its effectiveness”declared Bernard Malabirade, president of the Gers Agricultural Society, according to comments made The Launch. “From the tests carried out on the vaccinated animals, it appears that they had an adequate level of immunity against the disease., he added. In France, it is rather serenity that has priority.
