Avian Flu in Brazil: Low Risk to Humans, but Economic Impact Looms

Brazil's first case of avian flu in a commercial farm has sparked concerns, but experts assure the public that the risk of human transmission through chicken consumption is low. The G1 news report details the situation, noting that China, a major importer of Brazilian chicken, has temporarily suspended purchases. This measure is precautionary and aims to prevent the spread of the virus. While the risk to humans is minimal, the economic impact on Brazil's poultry industry is significant due to China's decision. The situation highlights the importance of biosecurity measures in poultry farming and the global interconnectedness of food supply chains.
