A new breed of bird flu (pathogenic bird flu) or HPAI) have been discovered at a duck farm In California.
The World Animal Health Organization (WOAH) reported the outbreak of the new breed, H5N9, earlier this week on its website.
The most common H5N1 strain It was also found on the same farm, which is located in Mercyd Province, according to reports.

“This is the first confirmed case of HPAI H5N9 in poultry in the United States,” Wahi wrote.

Health agencies are conducting “comprehensive epidemic investigations and reinforced control”, according to the statement.
David J. Kenimo, Associate Professor of Medicine and Children's Class in the Department of Infectious Diseases at the Rutgers College in New Jersey Medical, this new strain can indicate the “ability to adapt” to influenza viruses.

“Birds are very vulnerable to bird flu in general. Some virus breeds are light, some are fatal,” he told Fox News Digital.
H5N9 has been seen in the past, as Cennimo indicated, and causes in general Moderate disease in birds.
“Birds are very vulnerable to bird flu in general. Some of the virus breeds are light, some are deadly,” one of the experts told Fox News Digital. (Istock)
“The ducks in California, however, were dying,” he said. “The genetic test showed that this H5N9 was different from historical samples and was, in fact, reactivation.”

With influenza viruses, scientists call it HS and NS (surface proteins of hemogloglin and yeast), according to Cennimo.
The doctor said that there are “ongoing mutations” for influenza breeds, so not all H1 versions are the same.

“That is why humans happen Influenza vaccines Annually, you will see that stress combinations change in some years, although they remain H1N1 and H3N2. ”
“In this case, H5 in H5N9 was H5 of the currently circulating H5N1 bird influenza that is more common to pathogens.”
“Although H5N9 is not a very dangerous virus, we need to monitor this new strain.”
With H5N9, he said, the virus appears to have turned N1 and took N9 of another virus.

One of the experts indicated that the researchers are concerned when there is a large outbreak of bird flu on poultry farms. (Istock)
“Although H5N9 is not a very dangerous virus, we need to monitor this new strain.”
“Until now, I am not aware of any of Human inflammation With H5N9. Again, this will be monitored. “
The jump from birds to humans
Dr. Jacob Galanville, CEO of Centivax, a company in the field of biotechnology in San Francisco, noted that Fox News Digital indicated that birds are “constantly tank” for many types of influenza that do not usually affect people.

“The researchers are watching them,” he told Fox News Digital. “In order to infect humans, they need a mutation in order to adapt from a bird to a human host.”
Until now, there have been 67 confirmed cases of human bird flu in the United States and one death, according to the Center for Disease Control. (Istock)
Researchers feel anxious when there is Big outbreaks One of the birds of birds in poultry farms, according to Glanville.
In addition to the intervention of food supply, the presence of many infected birds close to pigs, cows and humans greatly increases the risk of mutations that can outperform “mammal infections”.

“Currently, this is the main concern of H5N1,” he said. “Other reports of bird flu worth monitoring but currently low risk.”
So far, there have been 67 confirmed cases of human bird flu in the United States and one death, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
