Infectious disease expert reveals the pathogens that could spark another pandemic in 2025

Daily Mail  

With the country’s near-total return to normalcy after years of quarantine and isolation measures, the Covid pandemic increasingly feels like a distant memory for many. Coupling this with a 30 percent mortality rate from human infections, bird flu is quickly jumping up the list of public health officials’ priorities.’ This week, the US reported its first severe human case of H5N1 in Louisiana and California, where 36 of the country's bid flu cases have been diagnosed, declared a state of emergency over the virus just hours later. H5N1 bird flu doesn’t seem to transmit from person to person, Dr Meehan said, ‘which greatly reduces its likelihood of causing a pandemic in humans… in its current form, H5N1 can’t easily spread in humans.’ However, he added, ‘a recent study showed that a single mutation in the flu genome could make H5N1 adept at spreading from human to human, which could jump-start a pandemic.’ Bird flu cases in humans have generally been relatively mild, primarily manifesting as conjunctivitis, cough or difficulty breathing, sore throat, muscle or body aches, diarrhea, and vomiting. Scientists at Scripps Research Institute revealed earlier this month that just one gene mutation in the strain of bird flu virus spreading in dairy cows would allow it to latch on to human cells. This map shows cases of the virus detected in wild mammals, such as red foxes and seals And the US government has bought vaccines and commissioned Moderna to create an mRNA bird-flu vaccine Dr Meehan said: ‘Even without the potential ability to spread between humans, bird flu is likely to affect animal health even more in 2025.
