Tracing the source of infection
After detecting a bird flu patient, the Chilean government is investigating the source of infection as well as other people who came in contact with the patient. Cases of H5N1 bird flu have been reported in wild animals in Chile since late last year. Recent cases in industrial farms have forced the government to stop poultry exports.
No case of human-to-human transmission was found
Cases of these flu have also been detected in industrial poultry farming in Argentina, but Brazil, the world's biggest exporter of poultry, is currently free of it. Chilean health officials noted that the virus can be transmitted from birds or marine mammals to humans, but there are no known cases of human-to-human transmission.
Vaccine is also being made for bird flu
Earlier this year, Ecuador confirmed its first case of human transmission of bird flu in a 9-year-old girl. Global health officials have said the risk of transmission between humans is low, but vaccine makers are preparing bird flu shots for humans.
