Новий штам пташиного грипу в Німеччині: чому вчені турбуються щодо його здатності до передачі людині
Scientists in Germany have discovered a new strain of bird flu that, according to their concerns, may increasingly adapt to the human body. In response, quarantines for domestic birds have been introduced in some regions of the country. This was reported by the German publication Bild.


Since the beginning of September, dead wild birds have been found in nine out of 16 regions of Germany. The country's Ministry of the Interior is overseeing the situation and urging citizens to report similar cases. It is advised not to touch dead birds on their own. To prevent the spread of the virus, more than half a million domestic birds have already been destroyed in Germany.



Bird flu is a serious threat to animals and humans. The detection of a new strain in Germany raises serious concerns among scientists and authorities. It is essential to follow all safety requirements and measures to prevent the spread of the virus and protect the population.
