The case of the US farmer: the symptom of the eye

In the last few days, a case of bird flu caused by the virus has been identified H5N1 in a farmer in the US, in Texas. According to doctors, he contracted the pathogen from one of his cows.

Of course, bird flu, even if it is more common in birds, it can spread to many other animals, including mammals and humans. However, it is difficult to transfer between mammals of the same species, while it is much more contagious for birds.

What worries the WHO is that the Texas farmer’s only symptom was a slight redness in his eyes, actually simple conjunctivitis, but he was otherwise healthy. Bird flu deaths from H5N1 it is usually 50% and the disease is very aggressive.

Why is the WHO afraid of the H5N1 virus

The reason is that the WHO fears a healthy carrier of an H5N1 patient more than a patient very sick it is that the former has a much greater ability to meet other people than the latter.

By communicating with other people and talking to each other even just a few meters away, there is a risk of the virus being transferred from one person to another. at the moment H5N1 it cannot survive in this corridor, but the WHO’s concern is that it could in the future.

Viruses reproduce very quickly and for this reason their properties change very quickly. The healthier the H5N1 carriers, the more likely it is that a person will have one random mutation is capable of surviving person-to-person infection.

Next Disease

This could create what is known in epidemiology Disease. It is a term that indicates an epidemic of a new disease, which has not been recorded before or where there are no vaccines or treatments.

Avian influenza viruses are the ones that have the greatest potential to cause this type of disease, given the fact that birds are in contact with humans in the air.Intensive poultry farming.

Some experts believe that the Covid 19 be considered the first Disease X in history, having been at the heart of a pandemic that spread while the pathogen was still largely unknown.
