Deux lignages différents circulent actuellement, l’un véhiculé par les oiseaux sauvages, l’autre infectant les élevages laitiers aux Etats-Unis. L’enjeu est de savoir à quel point le virus évolue pour s’adapter aux humains alors qu’un patient américain vient de mourir.
The main conceptual idea of the text is that scientists are closely monitoring the mutations of the avian influenza virus to determine if it's evolving to pose a greater risk to humans.
The recent death of a person in the US from avian influenza, in contact with infected poultry, has heightened concerns. Researchers are specifically looking at how the virus is changing as two different strains circulate: one found in wild birds and another infecting dairy farms in the US.
Ultimately, the article explores the growing threat of the avian influenza virus jumping to humans and the urgent need to understand its potential for evolution and potential pandemic risk.
