The highly-pathogenic H5N6 avian influenza or bird flu — which could potentially affect humans — has been detected in a barangay in Jaen in Nueva Ecija, the Department of Agriculture (DA) reported on Monday.
Agriculture Secretary William Dar said samples from a farm collected in Barangay Ulanin-Pitak were subjected to tests conducted last Friday, March 13, and results showed these were positive for avian influenza.
The tests were done after increased mortalities of 1,500 out of a total of 15,000 quails were reported in one of the farms in the area on March 9.
"The highly-pathogenic avian influenza is a disease of poultry that can affect humans," Dar said, but noted that the strain has not affected humans in the country so far.

That’d be some crazy shite if we were witnessing the end of the human race.

Finishing Outbreak now (such a great movie), time to do what they did in the film: nuke the whole site.

One day bird flu will finally figure out how to be contagious in humans, and when that happens we will truly be fricked. Hopefully it's at least 70 years from now so I don't have to be here for it.

"Globally, there have been only a few cases of human infections and all of these were reported in China," said Dar.
