Riaan Njengoba umkhuhlane wezinyoni ushanela izwe lonke – uthelele izinkukhu ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-58.3 nezinyoni zasendle ezingama-6,192 e-US kusukela ngoLwesithathu, ngokwe-CDC – isifo esithathelwanayo ochwepheshe babhekisisa.
UDkt. Christian Sandrock, iphini lomphathi wesigaba sezokwelapha zangaphakathi e-UC Davis Health in Sacramento, Californiaigxile kakhulu ezifweni ezithathelwanayo futhi isicwaninge kabanzi ngomkhuhlane wezinyoni.
Nakuba umkhuhlane wezinyoni utheleleka, uDkt. Sandrock akacabangi ukuthi uyingozi enkulu kubantu.
“Isifo sezinyoni kakhulu,” etshela iFox News Digital engxoxweni yocingo.
“Kuvame kakhulu phakathi izinyoni zamanzi zasendle emhlabeni wonke, futhi ingagxumela ezinyonini ezifuywayo, ikakhulukazi amaturkey nezinkukhu. Ingahlasela nezingulube, izingulube nezinye izilwane eziningi,” usho kanje.

Lokho akusho ukuthi abantu abakwazi ukukubamba.
UDkt. Sandrock ukuqinisekisile ukuthi abantu bangangenwa wumkhuhlane wezinyoni – futhi kungenzeka ukuthi bagule noma babulawe wuwo – kodwa uthe leli gciwane kuzomele lishintshe ngandlela thize ukuze litheleleke kakhulu kubantu.
Ingozi yokutheleleka iyanda lapho uhlobo lomkhuhlane wezinyoni luhlangana nolunye igciwane leflu lokho “kunobungani bomuntu,” inqubo ebizwa ngokuthi i-genetic reassortment, esho. Umphumela uba igciwane elisha elinamandla futhi kulula ukulidlulisela.

“Igciwane elilodwa lingasuka enyoni liye kumuntu – kodwa usongo lwangempela yilapho uphonsa elinye igciwane elilodwa noma amabili ezingulubeni noma kubantu, futhi lokho kubeka isiteji,” kusho uDkt. Sandrock.
“Igciwane lomkhuhlane lihle kakhulu ekuguquleni nasekuhlanganiseni kabusha.”
U-Erica Susky, udokotela oqinisekisiwe wokulawula ukutheleleka eCanadaakulahli ithuba lokutheleleka komuntu.
“Igciwane lomkhuhlane lihle kakhulu ekuguquleni nasekuhlanganiseni kabusha,” kusho yena. “Uma kukhona ukuxhumana okuphindaphindiwe phakathi kwezinhlobo zezilwane ezingangenwa uhlobo olulodwa lwegciwane lomkhuhlane noma olunye, kunethuba elikhulayo lohlobo lwenoveli olungakwazi ukuzivumelanisa nokudluliselwa kwezinhlobo ezahlukene, njengabantu.”

Nakuba kuseyivelakancane ukuthi abantu bangenwe umkhuhlane wezinyoni, izinga lokufa kwabantu liphezulu uma kwenzeka.
Esithangamini nabezindaba ekuqaleni kwale nyanga, uDkt. Sylvie Briand, umqondisi womnyango wezifo eziwubhubhane kanye nezifo eziwubhubhane I-World Health Organization (I-WHO), ithe uma abantu bengenwa yilesi sifo, maningi amathuba okuba babe nezifo ezinzima.
Nakuba kuseyivelakancane ukuthi abantu bangenwe umkhuhlane wezinyoni, izinga lokufa kwabantu liphezulu uma kwenzeka.
“Kuphakathi kwesilinganiso sokufa kwabantu abangu-30-50%, kodwa futhi, lawo magciwane awasuleleki kakhulu,” kusho uDkt Briand.
Kuze kube manje, i-CDC isihlonze izinhlobo ezinhlanu zomkhuhlane wezinyoni ezithelele abantu: H5N1, H6N1, H7N9, H9N2 kanye ne-H10N3. I-strain okwamanje elimaza kakhulu inani lezinyoni yi-H5N1.
Kusukela ngesikhathi sokushicilela, kube necala elilodwa kuphela lomuntu lomkhuhlane wezinyoni i-H5N1 e-US
“Emasontweni ambalwa adlule, kube nemibiko eminingana yezilwane ezincelisayo – okuhlanganisa ama-minks, otters, izimpungushe namabhubesi olwandle – ezingenwe umkhuhlane wezinyoni ze-H5N1,” kusho uMqondisi-Jikelele we-WHO uDkt. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus ngesikhathi somhlangano nabezindaba ngoFebhuwari.
“I-H5N1 isisakaze kabanzi ezinyonini zasendle nasezinkukhwini iminyaka engu-25, kodwa ukuchitheka kwakamuva kwezilwane ezincelisayo kudinga ukuqapha ngokucophelela.”

U-Lisa Steele, umnikazi wepulazi eMaine owelusa umhlambi wakhe wezinkukhu zasemuva, ubelokhu eqaphe ngeso lokhozi ukuqubuka komkhuhlane wezinyoni.
“Umkhuhlane wezinyoni awuyona into entsha – ujikeleza njalo eminyakeni embalwa – kodwa ngokuvamile, kwenzeka ngesikhathi sokufuduka kwezinyoni zasendle,” etshela i-Fox News Digital nge-imeyili.
“Ngonyaka odlule, amacala aqhubekile kakhulu unyaka wonke. Kuyathinta kancane ukuthi isimo sezulu esifudumele asibonakali siholela ekwehliseni inani lamacala.”
Abantu abahlangana nenyoni egulayo noma efile kufanele bagweme ukuyithinta – futhi bathinte iziphathimandla zendawo.

AMAGANDELA EQHAZA EKUBHAKA, UKUPHEKISWA NOKUDLA NJENGOBA Amanani Enyuka
UMnyango Wezolimo wase-US ubike ukuthi ekupheleni kukaZibandlela wezi-2022, kwase kushone izikhukhukazi ezizalela amaqanda ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-43 ngenxa ye-H5N1.
Izinyathelo zokunciphisa ukusabalala
USusky uthe ingozi enkulu yokutheleleka isukela ekuthintaneni ngqo nezinyoni ezinesifo ngesikhathi sokuhlatshwa nokuzilungiselela.
“Indlela engcono kakhulu yokunciphisa ubungozi ukugwema ukuthintana nezinyoni nezilwane zasendle,” etshela iFox News Digital ku-imeyili.
Uhlobo lwe-H5N1 lomkhuhlane wezinyoni selusabalele kuma-minks, otters, izimpungushe namabhubesi olwandle, phakathi kwezinye izilwane ezincelisayo.
“Labo abasebenza nezinyoni noma ezinye izilwane, njengakwezolimo, kufanele baqeqeshwe ekusebenziseni izinto zokuzivikela ukuze banciphise ukuchayeka ekulimaleni okungaba khona kwezilwane, uketshezi kanye nama-aerosol – ngokwesibonelo, emibhedeni engcolile nokudla,” kusho uSusky.
Lokhu kungabandakanya ukugeza izandla, izibulala-magciwane ezifanele, amagilavu, amaphinifa, ukuvikelwa kwamehloamakhava ebhuthi, imaski nezindawo ezifanele zokuhlinzeka ngokushintshana komoya okuphezulu.”
Ngenxa yokuthi lesi sifo sibhebhetheka ezinyonini zasendle kanye nezinyoni zasemanzini, uSteele uthe kubalulekile ukuthi abantu abaphakela izinyoni baqhelelane namahhoko ezinkukhu noma ezindlini zezinkukhu, noma behlise ngokuphelele uma kunezifo endaweni.
Kubalulekile ukuthi abantu abaphakela izinyoni baqhelelane namahhoko ezinkukhu noma ezindlini zezinkukhu, noma bawehlise ngokuphelele uma kunezigameko zomkhuhlane wezinyoni endaweni, kusho omunye umnikazi wepulazi. (iStock)
“Abafuyi bezinkukhu zasemuva kufanele bathathe izinyathelo zokuphepha, njengokugcina izinkukhu zabo ezindlini noma ezicashile ukuze zizivikele ebulongweni bezinyoni, nazo ezingasabalalisa igciwane,” usho kanje.
Abantu abahlangana nenyoni egulayo noma efile kufanele bagweme ukuyithinta futhi bathinte iziphathimandla zendawo.
CHOFOZA LAPHA UKUZE Ubhalisele IPHEPHA LETHU LEZEMPILO
“Izimpawu zokuthi isilwane sicindezelekile zihlanganisa ukuziphatha okungavamile, ukuba nesizotha lapho uphakathi kwabantu, nokutholakala ezindaweni obungajwayele ukuba kuzo,” u-JD Bergeron, oyi-CEO ye-International Bird Rescue in. i-San Franciscoetshela iFox News Digital.
CHOFOZA LAPHA UKUZE UTHOLA UHLELO LOKUSEBENZA IZINDABA
I-CDC izoqhubeka nokubuyekeza idatha yomkhuhlane wezinyoni kuwebhusayithi yayo njalo ngoLwesithathu ngo-2 pm EST.
