Avian Bird Flu

The H5N1 bird flu has been spreading widely among wild birds, poultry, cows and other animals for several years. Health concerns escalated in early 2024 when infections spread among U.S. livestock.

The Arignar Anna Zoological Park at Vandalur on Chennai's outskirts has suspended public entry for two days after H5N1 avian influenza was confirmed among its aquatic birds, prompting disinfection work and tighter biosecurity measures.

For more than a decade, nature lovers watched via an online video feed as Jackie and her partner, Shadow, tended to their nest each year atop trees.

Authorities on Friday reported the first confirmed case of the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu in Sydney, Australia.

The recent H5N1 bird flu spread in Australia has raised public health concerns. Here are the early symptoms, those who remain at high risk, and how to stay safe.

Tasmania has confirmed its first H5N1 bird flu case, making it the final Australian state to detect the deadly avian influenza strain. Here's what health officials say.

In most cases, it is unlikely that humans will catch bird flu. However, farmers, poultry workers, veterinarians, and others who regularly handle birds have a higher chance of exposure.

Kathmandu, June 20 (IANS) Nepal's Central Zoo in the Kathmandu Valley has been closed indefinitely since Friday after bird flu was detected in more than a dozen birds and animals.

Australia was previously the only continent where the H5 strain, which can devastate poultry and wild bird populations, had not been detected.

A new study from Ohio State University has found that just ten particles of H5N1 bird flu are enough to infect a cow, revealing that the virus targets the mammary gland rather than the airways, though how it spreads from cow to cow remains poorly understood.

Norwegian authorities on Tuesday announced that avian influenza has been documented in a polar bear for the first time in Europe, in the Svalbard region in the Arctic.

Hantavirus and bird flu are viral infections that can spread to humans under certain conditions. Here is what the WHO says about the transmission patterns for each and why you need to practise necessary precautions to be safe.
