The dead bird "spread monkey acne virus"?fake

"From now on, whether it is in the community courtyard or other places, there are dying birds and swallows. Do not touch it with your hands and stay away. Those who have children in the family must emphasize that when you see that you ca n’t fly, you ca n’t go, you ca n’t go, and you ca n’t go. Do n’t catch it. I ’m afraid that the monkey acne is contagious. The relevant community has notified it, and I hope everyone pay attention." Recently, such a news spread on the Internet.

Does a bird who is in contact with death really infects monkey acne virus?

The "Guide to Monkey Control and Control Technology" (2022 edition) issued by the General Office of the National Health and Health Commission clearly shows that the main host of monkey acne virus is Africa's teeth (African squirrels, tree squirrels, Gambian kangaroos, sleeping mice, etc.), spiritual Long class (a variety of monkeys and apes) can be infected due to contact with infected rodents.

There is no evidence at present, contacting birds infected with acne virus. At the same time, the general public reminds that if the birds and swallows are found to be dead, they are not clear about their deaths and incentives. It is recommended not to touch them at will. It can report to the relevant illness and control department or forestry department for professional treatment. If you accidentally touch it, you can clean your hands in time to observe whether the body has fever. You don't have to panic. Be cautiously reposted without confirmed information.
