Bird flu scientists look north for first U.S. H5N1 cases
Bird flu scientists look north for first U.S. H5N1 cases
Canadian Press
April 16, 2006
Scientists expect the first case of bird flu to show in the Alaska peninsula when the wild birds start arriving to begin mating. To screen the birds for the H5N1 virus officials are setting up more than 50 remote camps. More than 40 species of waterfowl and shorebirds are considered susceptible to infection by the H5N1 virus. The surveillance program is described as an early warning system for the rest of the U.S.
No cases of wild bird to human transfers are known and it is not known if it is possible.
