Re: Another report on Megi Saputra [16M]

From Theresa's above:
Menkes added, the development of bird flu in Indonesia still in the third phase, that is the spread from the animal to humankind. Unlike in Thailand that beforehand has been stated good, but suddenly emerged the new case.

Does this mean that the person being quoted believes that Thailand has gone to the next phase: h2h?

siam - The two teenagers in Indonesia do not appear to be related cases. The two WHO confirmed cases in Thailand are not related either (i.e. they are from different provinces).

Pet pigeons might be cause of infection in 17F, Oki

Indonesia Confirms Second Human Bird Flu Death in Days
United States announces expansion of wild bird monitoring program to all states

Washington ? Pet pigeons kept inside the home might be the cause of bird flu infection for a 17-year-old girl in Jakarta, Indonesia, who died on August 8, according to a report issued by Indonesia?s Ministry of Health and confirmed by the World Health Organization August 9.

The girl, who lived in a neighborhood where backyard poultry also were kept, developed symptoms July 28 and died August 8.

The young woman?s case is the 44th human death from avian influenza in Indonesia, and comes just one day after a 16-year-old boy died of the disease. (See related article.)

With these deaths, Indonesia has reported more human victims of avian influenza than any of the other 10 nations where the dangerous H5N1 viral strain has been detected in people. In 236 cases of human infection worldwide, 138 people have died since 2004.

Health authorities are concerned that the H5N1 strain could mutate to become a virus that easily infects humans, setting a disease pandemic in motion. So far, most infections have occurred through direct exposure to sick birds

Re: Indonesian teenager[s] tests positive for bird flu

So far, most infections have occurred through direct exposure to sick birds

The above statement may not be fully accurate. I recall in several previous cases there was a lack of certainty that H5N1 infected birds were in proximity to the victims. From Dr. Niman's posts I am not getting a clear message on the frequency of genetic matches between a sick bird and a sick human. In fact, I hope for clarification on whether a third vector has been implicated in one or more cases, eg a mammal to human.
