Avian influenza: water-borne transmission spreads epidemics in wild birds
September 2009
The H1N1 virus is currently threatening the world with an influenza A pandemic. However, what is the situation regarding its notorious cousin H5N1 and other avian influenza viruses (1)? Unlike H1N1, they pose little risk of contamination for humans and bird flu cannot be transmitted between humans. People can contract the disease, but only after prolonged, close and repeated contact with infected animals. Nevertheless, whereas H1N1 is not very virulent, certain avian influenza viruses, like H5N1, are capable of bringing on serious, potentially fatal illness.
