Scientists reveal ways/Here's how bird flu can spread to humans

A group of scientists have created a simulation to show how bird flu could spread to humans if proper vaccination and isolation measures are not taken.

Researchers have widely warned of a possible future pandemic caused by what they called "Disease X" - an infection that originates in animals and later jumps to humans.

One candidate for such a disease is highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), commonly called bird flu, as experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) have warned.

The research, conducted by Ashoka University and published in BMC Public Health, examines how quickly an outbreak can escalate once human-to-human transmission begins.

So far, there have been no reports of these events, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). /CNA
