Investigations of the avian influenza viruses, so far, reveal no specific adaptation to humans or mammals. The risk of transmission to animals and humans is currently considered very low. Read the detailed statement: woah.org/en/high-pathog…

Once considered a threat to poultry, #AvianInfluenza is now moving from wild birds to wild mammals and to other non-avian species, with impacts beyond anything previously seen.

Based on available info, WHO assesses the overall public health risk posed by the virus to be low.
