The World Health Organization has said that bird flu (H5N1) in Australia was probably transmitted from India.
In a statement, the World Health Organization said that the child affected in the first case of bird flu that appeared in Australia last month had traveled to Calcutta, India.
According to the World Health Organization, the child spent time in Calcutta from February 12 to February 19 and arrived in Australia on March 1, where he had to be admitted to the hospital the next day on March 2.
According to the World Health Organization, the child’s close relatives in India or Australia have not shown any symptoms of bird flu despite the passage of more than 2 weeks.
According to the World Health Organization, the genetic sequence of the virus that infects the child shows that this subtype of the virus was previously found in infections in humans and poultry in Southeast Asia.
