CNR net Beijing on January 10 news (reporter Feng Huiling), according to Voice of China "National Network News" reported that, until now, China's total Sichuan, Guangdong, Yunnan, three provinces reported seven cases of H5N6 bird flu, experts called for: If you do not shut down as soon as live bird markets, it is likely to continue to occur H5N6 sporadic cases.


H5N6 previous H5N1 epidemic in birds belong to a "family", the expert explained that this was after the H5N1 bird flu virus and H6N6 avian influenza virus reassortment "born" and "son." It is understood that, as early as in May 2014, on the report of China's Sichuan Province is the world's first case of human infection with the first case of H5N6 bird flu. Chinese Academy of Sciences, China CDC deputy 任高福 say, since then, H5N6 virus abound in our country live bird markets in the South.

The first case in May 2014 in Sichuan Nanchong first person infected with H5N6, since it has been found the H5 virus has been accompanied by N6 countries of the South in which we live bird markets already abound, and there has never been infected risk. Not only is there in chicken and duck inside in there, chickens and ducks live bird markets are with the virus, the virus currently results from the monitoring point of view, with a little north of the virus, mainly in the south.

He pointed to the New Year right now, during the Spring Festival of the South have the habit to eat fresh poultry slaughtered chickens or ducks, in this case if you do not turn off live bird markets, are likely to continue to occur in sporadic cases. But I can not say that it is an outbreak, the more popular not happen, because the virus is not capable of human to human transmission, from live birds to people must be the route of transmission is very clear.

Gao Fu said that in view of H5N6 bird flu virus can cause high mortality in infected individuals, Guangdong provincial CDC advocates "centralized slaughter, cold chain delivery, chilled listing", which will greatly assist the prevention and control of avian influenza H5N6.
