A bird in the hand can be a value two in the bush. But two strains of bird flu from the start would be worse than one. , there has been a reported outbreak in the United States of some other strain of avian influenza, H5N9.
This H5N9 epidemic occurred on a duck farm in Merced, California, and was informed to the World Health Organization, known as WOAH. And Whoa, the epidemic resulted in approximately 119,000 birds that perished on December 2, 2024, it is not transparent how many of those birds died of infections in relation to relief to save the propagation of H5N9.
When displacing the new social networks and part of the attention, it can be simple to confuse H5N9 for H5N1, because the difference in your call is the number of N. but those are two other lines that in turn have their own sets of other clades and Subclades under them. In other words, there are many other H5N1 viruses and many other H5N9 viruses.
In this case, H stands for hemagglutinin, a protein discovered on the surface of Gippale-type viruses that give a contribution to the virus in the cells it infects and can come in 18 other subtypes: H1 to H18. N stands for neuraminidase, another protein that is helping the virus leave cells and can come in 11 other subtypes: N1 to N11.
Having to worry about two other highly pathogenic flu stumps is not exactly two tickets for paradise. But can only be two imaginable tickets for a pandemic? Well, the H5N1 strain has spread among the birds for several years and has recently given the impression of other animals such as cattle, cats, pigs and, yes, as I described for Forbes. At least 67 humans have been positive for the H5N1 strain to date with a user in the death of Louisiana, as reported through the Louisian Public Health Department.
The positive news is that there hasn’t yet been any clear evidence of any of these 67 people catching the virus from another human. But the more this strain continues to spread the greater the concern that H5N1 may eventually acquire the ability to spread among humans, which in turn would raise the possibility of the “p” word.
A pandemic is when a new pathogen, which means a new pathogen that has not really inflamed humans before, was spreading among humans in other countries, as I have described in the past for Forbes. The new pathogens can wreak havoc because their immune formula can be comported as a virgin in a first date at the meeting. Its immune formula would possibly end up pulling random directions, looking at all kinds of beeps that they would not paint and, in fact, it can also cause more self -injuries. What happened during the H1N1 flu pandemic of 1918 and the COVID-19 pandemic.
So far, the H5N9 strain hasn’t seemed to spread nearly as far as the H5N1 strain. Therefore, at this moment, the H5N9 doesn’t seem to be as big a “p” threat as the H5N1. Keep in mind, though, that bird flu strains are sort of like celebrity marriages. You never know what may happen and what is currently happening behind the scenes. You never know when a series of mutations or genetic reassortments in the virus could significantly change what the virus can do. Reassortment is when two or more influenza virus strains infect a single host and then swap segments of their genetic material with each other.
The more the birds with H5N1 or N5N9 viruses are inflated, the more probably other mutations and rearrangeers occur. The possibilities that such fortuitous occasions accumulate even more when other animals become inflamed as pigs where rearrangements tend to be even more likely. That is why it is vital for the spread of these viruses among the birds, even if you are not a bird. And why the failure of the United States to make more about avian flu can end up putting us in danger with everything with and without wings. After all, you never know when mutations and reinciderens can end to give humans the bird, the avian flu, which is.
