H7 bird flu strain detected in Aichi

TOYOHASHI, Japan - An official of the Aichi prefectural government inspects a quail farm in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, on Feb. 27, where the H7 bird flu virus has been detected. The Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry and the local government said this is the first reported detection of the strain in Japan since 1925. However, they added that the virus ''may be of attenuated virulence,'' as the infected quails have not died, suggesting the infection is unlikely to spread further. (Kyodo)

              Bats Are Hanging On Tree Branch - Bangladesh

              Bats are hanging on tree branch in the day light in the Sylhet, of Bangladesh. Bats are accused for Nipah virus infection is a newly emerging zoonotic disease that spreads from animal to human. The fruit bats are the one of the carriers of Nipah virus which gets transmitted from bats to other animals mainly through body fluids. In 2018 the outbreak of Nipah in Kerala state of India claimed 17 lives. It has indeed opened Pandora ’s Box exposing the role of general public, health department and social media and so on. The early detection and the well-oiled medical infrastructure in the state did wonders. Though social media have been accused of spreading misinformation leading to culling of bats, the people of Kerala responded with positive frame of mind. Prompt and synchronized efforts of all stakeholders like health workers, state government, scientists, researchers and central government led to timely and successful control of Nipah virus cases in Kerala.
