Cambodian well being authorities have mentioned there was no human-to-human transmission of chicken flu within the case of a father and daughter who caught the virus.
The 11-year-old lady died final Wednesday and her father examined optimistic two days later, prompting the World Health Organization to voice concern about attainable transmission between people.
One of the worst world oubreaks of avian influenza has been raging since late 2021, with tens of 1000’s of poultry culled, wild birds dying in giant numbers and infections amongst some mammals rising.
Cambodia’s Communicable Disease Control Department (CDC) mentioned late Tuesday that the 49-year-old father, who had no signs, had recovered and been discharged from hospital.
“An investigation shows that both of them contracted (the virus) from birds in the village. No transmission between father and daughter has been found,” the CDC mentioned.
Humans hardly ever contract chicken flu, however once they do, it’s often from direct contact with contaminated birds.
Over the previous 20 years, there have been practically 900 confirmed H5N1 circumstances in people and greater than 450 deaths, based on the WHO.
