Russia has confirmed the first case of human infection with the avian
influenza A(H5N8) virus in the world, a Russian sanitary official
announced on Saturday.
Scientists have isolated the genetic
material of this bird flu virus in seven workers of a poultry farm in
south Russia, where an outbreak among fowls was reported in December,
said Anna Popova, head of the country's consumer rights and human
well-being watchdog Rospotrebnadzor, the Xinhua news agency reported.
All
the necessary measures were taken immediately to protect humans and
animals, and the infection did not spread further, she told a briefing.
All of the seven people who were infected are now feeling well, with only mild clinical symptoms, Popova said.
