The height of cats with bird fever bees is the future restaurant …
In the light of the threat of bird flu around the world, scientists have warned against ignoring cats’ cases in the virus, which may have severe damage in anti -epitomed efforts.
These warnings came from research by scientists at the University of Maryland, and published “Open Forum Invex Descets”.
The most dangerous strain of bird fever, the study reveals that cats infected with the H5N1 virus passes beyond current monitoring systems, which require the need to review the follow -up and monitoring instructions. The warning comes at the time of an unprecedented explosion that has affected the poultry and dairy sectors.
“We have clear evidence that bird fever is a dangerous risk for cats, but we do not know the real limit of the virus spread between them,” says Dr. Christin Coleman, expert in infectious diseases.
He says this ignorance of the actual proportions of the infection prevents the risk of spreading to humans.
These concerns get extra speed by starting the migration of spring birds, which may contribute to the spread of viruses in wide areas. Researchers also expect to increase the number of injuries in the summer between pets or wildlife.
Review of research data between 2004 and 2024 revealed 607 confirmed cases between cats in 18 countries, including a variety of household cats and tigers in biological gardens. These cases recorded 302 deaths, most of which are connected to the 2.3.4.4B sub -tinasty of the H5N1 virus, which reaches 90%of the death rate between the injured.
But researchers warn that these numbers do not accurately reflect reality due to tests and proper monitoring. They have noticed a significant increase in pets over the past two years and have called for intensifying surveillance efforts.
Researchers note the previous incident in 2016 when a shelter caused a seed human injury between cats in New York, although there are no cases that have been confirmed about the spread of virus from cats in this particular strain. A major concern is to cause the abuse of the virus to gain transmitting ability among humans.
The study has identified many types of increased risk:
– Workers on farms that grow cats
Veterinarians
– in charge of zoos
– Animal shelter volunteers
Owners of cats that go out of the open space
This study recommends the importance of changing pets into an internal lifestyle, not only to protect wildlife but also to reduce the risk of infection. Cats can take infection:
– Talks about the affected birds or mammals
Eat raw animal foods
Drink the milk of the unhealthy cow
– Contracting with other animals infected
Researchers emphasize the urgent need to improve surveillance systems, and are conducting additional studies to determine the amount of virus among cats, especially in high -risk situations such as dairy farms. They conclude that ignoring this feature can be a disruption of global efforts to control the disease and prevents its human infection. Alert
