It is about the size of a laying hen cage on an American industrial farm, where poultry such as chickens are heavily reared. This space, the size of a sheet of A4 paper (0.06 inches), is seen as a hotbed of future epidemics. The Guardian reported on the 18th (local time) that there are warnings that eight types of avian influenza (AI) with high mortality rates are circulating on industrial farms around the world that can infect humans. It was in February that the risk of contracting an infectious disease on farms was discovered. The first instance of human infection with the H5N8 AI virus was registered in Russia. At that time, AI such as H5N8, diagnosed for the first time in two years, swept the world. Russia, which was one of the affected countries, found itself in an emergency due to the large number of infected.<\/p>\n
7 people are known to be infected however human-to-human transmission of the virus has not been confirmed. Only recently did the alarm sound the alarm. This time, WHO announced that the rise in avian influenza infections in China is not serious. This year, China has reported 21 cases of H5N6 infection, indicating a high death rate \u2013 6 people have died so far. The WHO announced that \u201cthere was no human-to-human transmission,\u201d however the possibility of transmission of the virus human-to-human cannot be ruled out due to the unprecedented rate of infections. These two cases have one thing in common, most of the infected are from industrial enterprises. This is why experts point to farms as a base for future epidemics. Tees Kukken, a pathologist at Erasmus University in the Netherlands, said: \u201cThis type of H5N6 shows a high mortality rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
