Highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) virus

Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus, primarily spread by wild birds, has caused outbreaks in poultry farms and among wild birds. There have been cases of viral spillover from birds to mammals, including cattle and humans, highlighting the potential for a pandemic. The mechanisms of transmis...

description Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus, primarily spread by wild birds, has caused outbreaks in poultry farms and among wild birds. There have been cases of viral spillover from birds to mammals, including cattle and humans, highlighting the potential for a pandemic. The mechanisms of transmission are not fully understood, but evidence suggests viral reassortment and mammalian adaptation, increasing the risk of transmission and disease among mammals. As of Jun 2024, no human cases of H5N1 have been acquired in Canada. However, globally, there have been nearly 900 reported human cases since 2003, with a case fatality rate of 52.4%. The clinical presentation of H5N1 infection can vary from mild to severe influenza, with some cases presenting with hemorrhagic conjunctivitis. Clinicians should inquire about animal exposures in patients with influenza-like illness, conjunctivitis, or meningoencephalitis. While the risk to the general population is currently low, individuals with substantial exposure to livestock or wildlife may be at risk for infection. Testing for H5N1 should be conducted promptly, and oseltamivir is the recommended antiviral treatment.
