En février 2022, l’Organisation mondiale de la santé, financée par Bill Gates, a conseillé à Kiev d'éliminer les «agents pathogènes» dans les #biolabs, refusant de préciser à @Reuters de quels microbes il s'agissait.

«Arme biologique»: le Pentagone travaillait avec les #biolabs en Ukraine sur des souches de grippe aviaire au taux de létalité de 40 % chez l'homme.
«Malgré les efforts du personnel pour détruire les biomatériaux, des traces de matériel génétique de grippe aviaire hautement pathogène ont été retrouvées», a déclaré Igor #Kirillov, qui poursuit (t.me/kompromatmedia…) ses travaux sur le sujet.
"As damaging as #H5N8 has been to birds, it had never infected people. Until February."

2/ "Seven of the workers appeared to have been infected with the virus, although none of them became ill. Only one of those seven cases, however, was confirmed by genetically sequencing the virus."

Avian influenza has again led to massive killing of chickens and turkeys. As the Brandenburg Ministry of Consumer Protection announced, the H5N8 pathogen was found in a turkey population in the Märkisch-Oderland district.
Avian influenza has again led to massive killing of chickens and turkeys. As the Brandenburg Ministry of Consumer Protection announced, the H5N8 pathogen was found in a turkey population in the Märkisch-Oderland district.
Around ten thousand turkeys were killed. It is therefore already the ninth case of avian influenza in a poultry population within a few weeks in the state.
Yesterday, the Schleswig-Holstein Ministry of Agriculture announced in Kiel that a large poultry farm with around 76,000 laying hens in the Plön district is affected by avian influenza.
🟥#H5N8, ce nom qui a fait peur, mais qu'en est-il réellement ?
Voici un #Thread long mais instructif sur le sujet !
➡️Déjà, il faut savoir que la #grippe aviaire est une maladie virale qui peu toucher presque toutes les espèces d’oiseaux, sauvages ou domestiques.

➡️Chez ces oiseaux, les grippes aviaires peuvent engendrer des symptômes allant d'une maladie bénigne qui passe inaperçue à une maladie rapidement mortelle, ce qui lui vaut son surnom de "peste aviaire" ou "Ebola du poulet".
Bien entendu, aucun lien avec Ebola ou la peste😅

➡️Cette infection est provoquée par des virus grippaux de type A, notamment par les sous-types H5 / H7 / H9. Il y a donc plusieurs souches (H5N1, H5N8...).
Une explication du classement des types/sous-types de la grippe est maintenant nécessaire.

On Sunday, South Korea imposed a 24-hour standstill order on all poultry farms across the country after a series of highly pathogenic cases of bird flu.
All poultry farms and livestock production facilities, including their vehicles and employees, will be subject to a travel ban until Sunday, with disinfection work to be performed during the time, the authorities said.
It was the second time a national standstill order was given over cases of bird flu this month. A 48-hour standstill order was issued on Dec. 12. The order's violators could face up to one year in prison or a 10 million won ($9,000) fine.

In the Tokushima and Miyazaki prefectures, bird flu has been identified at chicken farms, leading to the killing of tens of thousands of chickens as the outbreak continues to spread in the region, local governments said Saturday.
The H5 strain, which has yet to be verified as a highly pathogenic type, was first identified at a farm in Tokushima, making it the 12th prefecture this year to record an outbreak of bird flu.
Initially, the farm in Awa, Tokushima, which borders Kagawa Prefecture, where the year's first case of flu was reported, intended to kill 10,000 chickens but ended up killing around 8,000.

Japan and South Korea are attempting to curb the spread of an infectious, deadly strain of bird flu that since November, wich has caused 9 million chickens, ducks and quails to be culled in South korea and Japan. Since July,
the "highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N8" outbreak has also been identified in wild birds and poultry in 12 other countries primarily in western Europe.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization said one of two separate worldwide bird flu epidemics was the outbreak in Japan and neighboring South Korea.

The Kagawa prefectural government said Wednesday that cases of avian influenza were reported at a poultry farm in the prefecture of western Japan, the third outbreak of bird flu at a Japanese farm this year.
A highly pathogenic strain is thought to be the virus. Around 11,000 chickens raised on a farm in the town of Mitoyo will be slaughtered. After getting a warning from the farm on Tuesday that an increasing number of chickens had died,
the Kagawa government started an on-site inspection.
The first outbreak was confirmed on Thursday at a separate farm in Mitoyo. In two years and 10 months, it was the first highly pathogenic bird flu outbreak on a farm in Japan.

On Tuesday (Nov 10), the South Korean Ministry of Agriculture said it had confirmed the highly pathogenic H5N8 strain of bird flu in wild bird samples in the central west of the country and issued its bird flu warning.
The virus was found in samples collected last week from wild birds in Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, about 84 km west of Seoul, the Ministry of Agriculture said in a statement.
The ministry said prevention measures to contain a wider spread of bird flu have been ramped up and a highly pathogenic avian influenza warning has been issued as there are increased risks of spreading the virus.

A highly pathogenic strain is thought to be the virus. In the town of Higashikagawa, about 48,000 chickens being raised at the farm will be culled.
Three poultry farms within 3 kilometers of the affected facility were ordered by the prefectural government not to move their chickens and eggs, while nine farms within 3 to 10 kilometers were ordered not to move their chickens and eggs outside the 10-kilometer range.
1/11 Now that highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N8 has arrived in Europe again, some questions arise. What do 'H5N8' and 'highly pathogenic' mean? And where does the virus come from?

On request, a thread (for non-Dutch readers).
#HPAI #H5N1 #H5N8 #AvianInfluenza #birdflu
2/11 H5N8 refers to two proteins, haemagglutinin (H) & neuraminidase (N), on the surface of the virus. In birds there are 16 H subtypes, H1 to H16, and 9 N subtypes, N1 to N9. Avian influenza viruses sometimes exchange H & N with each other; for example, H5N1 can change to H5N8.
3/11 Pathogenic means disease-inducing. Avian influenza viruses are divided into two categories: low-pathogenic (inducing no or little disease in chickens) and highly pathogenic (inducing marked disease or mortality in chickens).
1/11 De huidige sterfte van #pluimvee en wilde vogels in #Nederland wordt veroorzaakt door hoog-pathogene vogelgriepvirus van het subtype H5N8. Maar wat betekent ‘H5N8’ en ‘hoog-pathogeen’? En waar komt het virus vandaan?

2/11 H5N8 slaat op twee eiwitten, hemagglutinine (H) en neuraminidase (N), die buitenop het virus zitten. Bij vogels zijn er 16 subtypen H, H1 t/m H16, en 9 subtypen N, N1 t/m N9. Vogelgriepvirussen wisselen H en N soms uit met elkaar; zo kan H5N1 b.v. veranderen naar H5N8.
3/11 Pathogeen betekent ziekteverwekkend. Vogelgriepvirussen worden verdeeld in laag-pathogeen (geen of weinig ziekte bij kippen) en hoog-pathogeen (ernstige ziekte en sterfte bij kippen).
