Where Are The Greatest Risk Area for Bird Flu?
With Bird Flu in the news, people are wondering where it may be
safe to avoid this deadly virus. While the answer to this
question may be very simple now, in a few weeks or months, it
may be a different story.
The first outbreak of the deadly strain of bird flu in humans
was in Hong Kong in 1997. A major outbreak then occurred in
January of 2004 in Vietnam and Thailand that resulted in the
virus popping up in most of Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
Recently, a low pathogenic form of H5N1, the dangerous form of
bird flu, surfaced in Canada. From this, it may be assumed that
southern parts of North America, South America, and other
countries distanced from Asia are safe. However, with the track
record of this virus, that may not be the case.
Without a doubt, the area of greatest risk for Bird Flu
currently is Vietnam, where the largest number of infections and
death has occurred. Any area in Asia with a large poultry
population, from farming or agriculture, is at risk, as
consuming infected meat has been a primary cause of becoming
infected. On the same note, many countries in Asia, Europe, and
recently the Middle East, should be concerned with the
possibility of ingested infected poultry. As migratory birds may
also carry the disease, it may be extend over widespread areas
as well
as from agricultural sources.
Likewise, considering the rapid spread of bird flu, the case in
Canada should be of concern for residents of North America as
well; in less than two years, Asia and Europe were consumed with
the disease. Although the case in Canada was a low pathogenic
form of H5N1, meaning it is less dangerous, the fact that it
made its way to the continent should not be taken lightly and
the possibility of the virus spreading south is a very serious
threat.
As long as bird flu is being transmitted from poultry to humans,
and not from human to human contact, the areas of concern will
surround large poultry populations, from wild or agricultural
birds. However, if the strain mutates and is passed from human
to human, the risk area will grow rapidly and be concentrated in
places with high or dense populations. Likewise, areas of
particular concern will be those with limited medical care.
Areas with advanced medicine that may be able to produce a
vaccine may not be as devastated by the mutated strain of the
virus.
