Earlier this year, there were reports that the H5N1 virus that had previously been found only in East Asia and Southeast Asia appeared in the Qinghai and Xinjiang regions of western China. These are all adjacent areas in north central Asia. Most bird flu experts believe that the virus was first spread through trade in Chinese domestic poultry, and transported containers and trucks unwittingly took away contaminated faeces or other substances. However, wild birds may also spread the disease far away. Due to the arrival of the autumn migration season, especially because people have only a general understanding of the migratory routes of many birds, this possibility has attracted people's attention.
Noureddin Mona, representative of the United Nations FAO (FAO) in Beijing, said that the local government has taken appropriate measures to curb every outbreak - culling infected livestock, disinfecting affected farms, trying to prevent the transport of poultry, and providing poultry for the surrounding areas. Immunize to prevent infection. But Mona pointed out: "The virus is still migrating from one place to another and the surrounding countries should be vigilant."
Alex Thiermann, a veterinarian at OIE in Paris, France, said that if the virus spreads to Europe, its impact in Europe is expected to be less than in Asia. In Southeast Asia, rural families generally raise chickens in small yards in the courtyard. This makes wild birds and poultry close contact, while the latter is in close contact with humans. He said: "Europe's poultry farming is very different from this." But this does not mean that Europe can sit back and relax. "It is important to take measures so that the virus does not have access to commercial poultry breeding," Thiermann added.
