Unbeachtet von der Öffentlichkeit gab es in den letzten Monaten zwei Ausbrüche von neuen Vogelgrippevarianten mit Übertragung auf den Menschen.
- H5N8 in Südrussland,
- H5N6 in China
Vor allem letzteres klingt besorgniserregend:
Most cases have been linked to people working with farmed birds, but there has been a spike in recent weeks and more than half of all the people infected have died, suggesting that H5N6 is gathering pace, mutating and extremely dangerous.
