En février 2022, l’Organisation mondiale de la santé, financée par Bill Gates, a conseillé à Kiev d'éliminer les «agents pathogènes» dans les #biolabs, refusant de préciser à @Reuters de quels microbes il s'agissait.

«Arme biologique»: le Pentagone travaillait avec les #biolabs en Ukraine sur des souches de grippe aviaire au taux de létalité de 40 % chez l'homme.
«Malgré les efforts du personnel pour détruire les biomatériaux, des traces de matériel génétique de grippe aviaire hautement pathogène ont été retrouvées», a déclaré Igor #Kirillov, qui poursuit (t.me/kompromatmedia…) ses travaux sur le sujet.

Avian influenza has again led to massive killing of chickens and turkeys. As the Brandenburg Ministry of Consumer Protection announced, the H5N8 pathogen was found in a turkey population in the Märkisch-Oderland district.
Around ten thousand turkeys were killed. It is therefore already the ninth case of avian influenza in a poultry population within a few weeks in the state.
Yesterday, the Schleswig-Holstein Ministry of Agriculture announced in Kiel that a large poultry farm with around 76,000 laying hens in the Plön district is affected by avian influenza.

🟥#H5N8, ce nom qui a fait peur, mais qu'en est-il réellement ?

Voici un #Thread long mais instructif sur le sujet !

➡️Déjà, il faut savoir que la #grippe aviaire est une maladie virale qui peu toucher presque toutes les espèces d’oiseaux, sauvages ou domestiques.

⤵️
➡️Chez ces oiseaux, les grippes aviaires peuvent engendrer des symptômes allant d'une maladie bénigne qui passe inaperçue à une maladie rapidement mortelle, ce qui lui vaut son surnom de "peste aviaire" ou "Ebola du poulet".

Bien entendu, aucun lien avec Ebola ou la peste😅

⤵️
➡️Cette infection est provoquée par des virus grippaux de type A, notamment par les sous-types H5 / H7 / H9. Il y a donc plusieurs souches (H5N1, H5N8...).

Une explication du classement des types/sous-types de la grippe est maintenant nécessaire.

(Accrochez-vous, désolé😁)

1/11 Now that highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N8 has arrived in Europe again, some questions arise. What do 'H5N8' and 'highly pathogenic' mean? And where does the virus come from?

On request, a thread (for non-Dutch readers).

#HPAI #H5N1 #H5N8 #AvianInfluenza #birdflu
2/11 H5N8 refers to two proteins, haemagglutinin (H) & neuraminidase (N), on the surface of the virus. In birds there are 16 H subtypes, H1 to H16, and 9 N subtypes, N1 to N9. Avian influenza viruses sometimes exchange H & N with each other; for example, H5N1 can change to H5N8.
3/11 Pathogenic means disease-inducing. Avian influenza viruses are divided into two categories: low-pathogenic (inducing no or little disease in chickens) and highly pathogenic (inducing marked disease or mortality in chickens).

1/11 De huidige sterfte van #pluimvee en wilde vogels in #Nederland wordt veroorzaakt door hoog-pathogene vogelgriepvirus van het subtype H5N8. Maar wat betekent ‘H5N8’ en ‘hoog-pathogeen’? En waar komt het virus vandaan?

Op verzoek, een draadje.

#HPAI #H5N1 #H5N8 #vogelgriep
2/11 H5N8 slaat op twee eiwitten, hemagglutinine (H) en neuraminidase (N), die buitenop het virus zitten. Bij vogels zijn er 16 subtypen H, H1 t/m H16, en 9 subtypen N, N1 t/m N9. Vogelgriepvirussen wisselen H en N soms uit met elkaar; zo kan H5N1 b.v. veranderen naar H5N8. Image
3/11 Pathogeen betekent ziekteverwekkend. Vogelgriepvirussen worden verdeeld in laag-pathogeen (geen of weinig ziekte bij kippen) en hoog-pathogeen (ernstige ziekte en sterfte bij kippen). Image
