Bird flu A H5N1 is very contagious for geese but considered not serious, then it infects various species of birds and sometimes even mammals; now a case of contagion in a boy in British Columbia in serious condition has turned the spotlight on the first human H5N1 domestic case in Canada and the tests would have detected the origin of local poultry farms where avian flu has spread (the version is not the same as genomic sequencing carried out farms in the United States). For the moment according to experts the risk that avian influenza can spread to humans remains low, but it is high in those who expose themselves without protection to infected animals; then the people who had had contact with the boy were tested negative. Milk and its pasteurized products are safe even if generally it is necessary to maintain high surveillance.
