Vogelgriepuitbraak in zeeleeuwen in Argentinië. Hoog-pathogene #Vogelgriep #H5N1 vastgesteld in 7 van 21 doodgevonden zeeleeuwen (werkelijke aantal slachtoffers ongetwijfeld hoger) in Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego, Argentinië. Tierra del Fuego is de meest zuidelijke provincie van Argentinië en deze uitbraak duidt erop dat het #virus zich verder zuidwaarts uitbreidt, richting #zuidpool.

Follow-up #H5N1 cats #Korea:

The virus found in two kinds of #cat food used at an affected cat shelter in #Seoul has now been confirmed as highly pathogenic #AvianInfluenza virus H5N1.

The contaminated cat food was produced without adequate sterilization because of a facility breakdown.

The government ordered the manufacturer to recall and destroy the products, and launched an inspection into all manufacturers of animal food using chicken, duck and other #meat.

"Eurosurveillance paper on massive #H5N1 outbreaks, multiple fur farms in #Finland. Not very reassuring data: Many species, transmission route unknown "This outbreak does raise concerns for the future, not only in Finland but in the global context" It does!"

Chosun Ilbo summarizes reports of highly pathogenic avian #influenza #H5N1 in #cat shelters in Seoul. Pattern of infection suggests contaminated food and/or cat-to-cat transmission rather than contact with infected wild birds or poultry as source of infection in cats: “Authorities have started to check stray cats across the capital, and the Gyeonggi provincial government will also check on cats at the province's 65 animal shelters.” #birdflu #vogelgriep #avianinfluenza

Threat of H5N1 Avian Flu increases. 26 different mammal species have now been sickened. Over 80 countries have now had outbreaks since the pandemic began in 2020.

*>52 million dead birds, in the U.S., alone, just in 2022
*11 humans have been infected since 2021 (all from direct contact with infected birds)

Somehow, this is being ignored by most of the media:

🦠 #H5N1 outbreak in cats in Poland, at least 20 cats (including house cats) are dead:

👀 infectious virus found in raw supermarket chicken meat

🏥 virologist confirms this and says it is the most probable way of transmission to those cats

🧐 Polish government denies claims, says everything is fine
