Birds spread monkey acne virus?There are these animals that really spread monkey acne →

Recently, in addition to the new crown epidemic, monkey acne cases have also attracted much attention. A message was circulated in the WeChat group: "When you see that you ca n’t fly, you ca n’t go, you ca n’t catch the birds struggling on the ground. In the courtyard, there are other places. It is found that there are dead birds and swallows. Do not touch it with your hands. You must stay away. At the same time, you must notify the property or call the Center for Disease Control and control to deal with them. Those who have children in the family must emphasize, I hope everyone will pay attention! "

Will the dead bird really spread the monkey acne virus or bird flu? This question should be divided into two answers.

On the one hand, the public does not need to worry too much about the spread of bird acne.

According to the reporter of the Shanghai Rumor Platform, the document found that as early as June 15, the "Guidelines for Monkey Acne Diagnosis and Treatment (2022 Edition)" released by the National Health and Health Commission was clear. Virus is one of the four types of acne virus to human pathogens, and the other three are ceiling viruses, acne seedlings and acne virus. The main hosts of monkey acne virus are African rodents (including African squirrels, tree squirrels, Gangbia kangaroos, sleeping mice, etc.). People, etc.). No one mentioned birds.

Zhu Yiyi, chief physician of the Department of Emergency Division of the Shanghai Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also told reporters that there is no evidence that there is no evidence that birds are the host of monkey acne virus, and there are no cases where birds are infected with bird acne virus.

The introduction of the official website of the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also said in the introduction of animal monkey acne on the official website of animals. These animals are infected with other acne viruses. "The official website of CDC also announced the research on common animals in common animals. If you come into contact with animals that may infect monkey acne viruses, or to raise related pets at home, you need to be careful.

On the other hand, the diseased birds may indeed carry bird flu viruses.

Zhu Yiyi reminded that avian flu is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by certain poultry -type A -type influenza virus subtypes. The source of the bird flu is mainly a poultry and home pig with a disease or a virus that can be transmitted through the respiratory tract or through close contact. Early symptoms are similar to ordinary flu. They are accompanied by respiratory symptoms and fever, cough, headache, and muscle soreness. Subsequently, some patients will progress as pneumonia and even severe pneumonia, which need to be vigilant.

The key to preventing bird flu is to avoid contact with live birds; stay away from areas contaminated by poultry excrement; avoid exposure in the live poultry market, especially bird flu. Egg foods must be cooked and eaten, and do not eat raw, because in addition to bird flu viruses, there may also be pollution of Salmonella.

In addition to the risk of bird flu, the dead birds will also breed bacteria and parasites. Therefore, if the citizens find a bird who dies, it is recommended not to touch it at will when they do not know their deaths. If you accidentally touch it, you can clean your hands in time, or wipe it with alcohol to observe whether the body has fever, don't worry too much.
