HANOI, March 5 (Vietnam News/ANN): The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Vietnam have issued a press release urging the Vietnamese Government and the public to keep vigilance over H5N8 human infection upon the detection of seven farm workers infected with the influenza A (H5N8) in a chicken farm in Russia, according to the Ministry of Health.
This is the first report of H5N8 poultry-to-human infection despite the virus having been circulating in poultry and wild birds since 2016. All seven human cases were asymptomatic.
To date, there is no evidence to suggest severe human infections or human-to-human transmission of this virus have occurred and this event likely represents isolated spillover of the virus from infected chickens to humans.
