More than four million chickens in Iowa will have to be killed after bird flu was detected at a large farm. The World Health Organization on Wednesday said a person's death was caused by the first laboratory-confirmed human case of infection with the A subtype of bird flu reported globally, and the first human infection with the H5 strain of the virus reported in Mexico.
After the April death, Mexican authorities confirmed the presence of the virus and reported the case to the WHO, the agency said. The United States has reported three cases of human infection after exposure to cows since an outbreak was detected in dairy cattle in March. Two just had symptoms of conjunctivitis, while the third also had respiratory symptoms.
