Does the sudden appearence of the Bird Flu in Nigeria, in West Africa, mean widespread, undetected outbreaks across the continent? After all, the closest source I last heard of was Turkey.
I cite LINK.
Awwww crap. My brother’s traveling to Cameroon (next to Nigeria) this summer. Better drop him a line.
If it was spread by a migrating bird (or flock), I think it could easily jump from Turkey to Nigeria without making intermediate stops. Although it’s also very possible that there have been undetected infections. I remember hearing that there were a couple deaths in Turkey that were probably due to bird flu but occurred before the outbreak and were attributed to other causes at the time.
