The federal government verified the other day that the dolphin had actually been discovered in between February 20 – 26. It was contaminated with the H5 stress of extremely pathogenic bird influenza (HPAI).
The exact same week another dolphin with bird influenza was discovered in Pembrokeshire. This was one was contaminated with the H5N1 stress of HPAI.
This brings the overall of mammals known to have contracted bird flu given that December 2021 to 23.
In December 2 foxes in Cornwall were discovered with bird influenza.
Over the previous couple of months numerous dolphoins have in the water off Falmouth making the most of big shoals of fish in the sea.
This year there have actually been 6 mammals verified to have bird influenza – 2 red foxes in Powys and Perth and Kinross, a harbour cetacean in East Riding, an otter in Shropshire and the 2 dolphins in Devon and Pembrokeshire.
The animals are thought to have actually consumed dead wild birds that were contaminated with the infection.
In February a representative for the Animal and Plant Health Agency said that the UK is still “a long way” from remaining in a scenario where bird influenza might contaminate human beings and spread out in a comparable method to Covid-19.

Serikali ya Marekani imethibitisha kuwa dolfini huyo alipatikana kati ya Februari 20 na 26. Mti huo ulipatikana ukiwa na virusi vya H5 vya homa ya ndege yenye kuambukiza sana (HPAI). Juma hilohilo pomboo mwingine mwenye mafua ya ndege aligunduliwa huko Pembrokeshire. Mwili wa mtu mmoja ulipatikana ukiwa na virusi vya H5N1 vya HPAI. Hii inazidisha jumla ya wanyama wanaonyonyesha wanaojulikana kuwa na homa ya ndege mnamo Desemba 2021. Mwezi Desemba, mbweha wawili katika Cornwall walipatikana na homa ya ndege. Katika miezi ya hivi karibuni, pomboo wengi wamekuwa katika maji ya Falmouth wakitumia samaki wengi baharini. Katika mwaka huu, mamalia sita wamethibitishwa kuwa na homa ya ndege, mbweha wawili wa rangi nyekundu huko Powys na Perth na Kinross, nyangumi wa bandari huko East Riding, nyigu huko Shropshire na pomboo wawili huko Devon na Pembrokeshire. Inadhaniwa kwamba wanyama hao kwa kweli walikula ndege wa porini waliokufa ambao walikuwa wameambukizwa ugonjwa huo. Mwakilishi wa Shirika la Afya ya Mifugo na Mimea alisema Uingereza bado iko mbali sana kutoka kwa hali ambapo homa ya ndege inaweza kuambukiza wanadamu na kuenea kwa njia inayofanana na COVID-19. Maambukizo ya ndege ni ugonjwa unaopaswa kutangazwa kwa kuku na ndege wengine walio katika utekwa. Ikiwa unafikiria ugonjwa katika kuku au ndege wengine waliotekwa, unapaswa kuripoti mara moja kwa kupiga simu 03000 200 301 huko Uingereza, 03000 038 268 ikiwa uko Wales au Ofisi ya Huduma za Shamba ya Mkoa huko Scotland.
