Bird flu's spread around the globe
Bird flu's spread around the globe
Reuters
May 30, 2006
Scientists are worried about a sudden flurry of human bird flu cases in Indonesia, warning that a failure to control the situation may raise the chances of a virus mutation and lead to a pandemic.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) confirmed late on Tuesday an additional six cases of human infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus. Three of these cases were fatal.
None of the new cases are part of a family cluster in North Sumatra. The newly confirmed cases bring the cumulative total in Indonesia to 48. Of these cases, 36 were fatal. Bird flu has spread rapidly since late 2003 from Asia to Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Earlier this month Djibouti reported its first human case of H5N1, the first confirmed human case in the Horn of Africa.
