A Thai virologist has warned that Thailand must raise its guard following the death of an 11-year-old girl in Cambodia from bird flu, in the country’s first known human H5N1 infection since 2014.

 

Dr. Anan Jongkaewwattana, a virologist at BIOTEC of the National Science and Technology Development Agency, said in his Facebook post on Thursday that he is concerned about pigs, which are susceptible to influenza and can become hosts to various new virus strains.

 

He said that the influenza outbreak in 2009 originated in pigs.

 

He also said that H5N1 has previously spread among mammals in several areas and, therefore, the infection in a human being in Thailand’s neighbouring country is a situation that requires close monitoring.
