Avian Flu PPE Kit with FFP3 Masks

What is Avian Influenza (Bird Flu)?
Avian Influenza is an infectious disease of birds caused by type A strains of the influenza virus. There are 15 known subtypes. All birds appear to be susceptible, though some species are more resistant than others. It is also called Bird Flu.

Recent research has shown that viruses of low pathogenicity (mild infection, less contagious) can quickly mutate into highly pathogenic (highly contagious, rapidly fatal) viruses.

To date, all outbreaks of the highly pathogenic form have been caused by variants of the H5 and H7 subtypes.

There have been several outbreaks recently of the H5N1 avian infection in poultry flocks, including countries which have also reported cases in humans.

Prevention

At this time there is no known cure for H5N1 avian influenza. As stated WHO therefore recommends avoiding contact with infected poultry. For those in potential contact with the virus, WHO recommends:-

protective clothing, preferably coveralls plus an impermeable apron or surgical gowns with long cuffed sleeves plus an impermeable apron
heavy duty rubber work gloves that may be disinfected.
respirator masks are preferred, P2 non-valved or above.
goggles.
rubber or polyurethane boots that can be disinfected or protective foot covers that can be discarded.
All persons who have been in close contact with infected animals/ people should wash their hands frequently with soap and water. Cullers and transporters should disinfect their hands after the operation.
