I think we should read it in two parts as:

"4 cases of death [in Al Gharbiyah] ..." -- that's the 3 family members last month and also Hanan Aboul Magd who died in Oct...

"...and more than 50 conditions of suspicion through a single month" -- the single month part only referring to the 50 suspected cases.
 
Re: EGYPT - 11? susp cases in Bani Suwayf, Al Gharbiyah & Ash Sharqiyah governorates

Thanks Theresa, that makes more sense. It seems that many of these article often provide an overview or synopsis of all the recognized cases that have occurred in that locale. Several times we have been confused when they summarize previous cases while providing new information about the current one.

Rabbits were one of the species of animals tested by scientists in 1918 by inoculating them with blood from Spanish Flu patients, though at the time they still thought that a bacteria was responsible. The disease would spread from one rabbit to another, becoming more virulent with each passage, until it would kill the rabbit within 36 hours.

Egypt reports 19th case of deadly bird flu

18/01/2007 - 8:03:43 AM

Bird flu has infected another Egyptian, bringing to 19 the number of people afflicted with the deadly H5N1 strain of the virus, according to reports today in Egyptian media.

The reports, citing health authorities, said that a housewife from Beni Suef, about 60 miles south of Cairo, tested positive for the avian flu strain and was admitted to hospital for treatment.

The Middle East News Agency did not say how the woman contracted the virus.

Most people get it through contact with infected birds, which they raise at home, or while slaughtering or cleaning chicken.

Meanwhile, three other bird flu cases in humans were suspected in the eastern province of Ismailiya and the southern city of Sohag, while three other provinces have declared a state of emergency after new bird flu cases were detected in domestic fowl, reported the independent al-Masri al-Youm daily.

Ten Egyptians have died of bird flu so far, nine of them women.

In Egypt, women and girls tend to look after chickens and turkeys kept in back yards, making them more vulnerable to avian flu.

Bird flu was first detected in Egypt in February 2006 and has spread to at least 19 of the country?s 26 provinces.

The discovery of avian flu in the Middle East has led to widespread culling of birds.

The H5N1 strain has hit at least 45 countries and killed more than 150 people worldwide.
