1 hour, 50 minutes Roma, 27 ago (EFE) .- The United Nations
Organization for Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) AH1N1
fears the virus spreading to poultry farms around the world,
following the recent detection of the cause of influenza A in
turkeys in Chile. According to FAO said today in a press
release, the Chilean authorities reported on 20 August the virus
in turkeys from two farms on the outskirts of the city of
Valparaiso, a strain identical to that circulates between the
human population of the planet. However, the FAO points out, the
discovery of the virus in turkeys is not an immediate threat to
human health and can sell turkey meat hygienically processed and
submitted to the relevant veterinary inspection. "The reaction
of the Chilean authorities to the discovery of the virus in
turkeys, with their speed when reporting to international
organizations and establish a temporary quarantine, and its
decision to allow sick birds recover instead of sacrifice, it is
sensible from a scientific standpoin
