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 outbreak occurred on a duck farm in Merced, California, and informed the World Animal Health Organization, known as Woah. And Whoa, the outbreak has resulted in approximately 119,000 birds that perished from December 2, 2024, although it is not clear how many of the birds have died from infections instead of relief to save the propagation of H5N9.
When you displace the new social networks and separate attention, it can be simple to confess H5N9 for H5N1, because the difference in your call is the following number N. However, those are two other lines that in turn have their own sets of other clados and subclades under them. In other words, there are many other H5N1 viruses and many other H5N9 viruses.
In this case, H means hemaggglutinin, a protein discovered on the surface of Gippale type viruses that give a contribution to the virus in the cells that he infects and can come in 18 other subtypes: H1 to H18. N means neuraminidase, another protein that is helping the virus out of the cells and can come in 11 other subtypes: N1 to N11.
Having to worry about two more stumps of highly pathogenic bird flu now isn’t exactly two tickets to paradise. But can they only be two tickets imaginable to a pandemic?Well, the H5N1 strain has been spreading among birds for several years and has recently given the impression of other animals such as cattle, cats, pigs, and, yes, humans, as I described for Forbes. At least 67 humans have tested positive for the H5N1 strain to date with one user in Louisiana’s death, as reported through the Louisiana Department of Public Health.
The new positive thing is that there has not yet been transparent evidence of any of those 67 other people who catch the virus of some other human. But the more this strain continues to be extended, the more fear H5N1 can in all likelihood gain the ability to extend among humans, which in turn would develop the option of the word “P”.
A pandemia is when a new pathogenic agent, that is, an agent who has not really inflamed humans before, spreads among humans in other countries, as I have already described for Forbes. Of the new pathogens can wreak havoc because their immune formula can be comported as a virgin during a first date when you know them. Its immune formula can eventually cause random directions, looking at all kinds of beeps that will not be painted and, in fact, can cause more self -collons. This was what happened during Pandemia H1N1 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 are inflamed, such 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 inability of the United States to make more opposite to avian flu can end up putting us in danger, with and without wings. After all, you never know when mutations and re -incidees can end up giving humans the bird, that is, avian flu.
