Many reports are circulating that the virus has re-emerged after some time.<\/p>\n\n<p>Addressing the issue, a professor of the <a href=\"https:\/\/fkh.unair.ac.id\/\">Faculty of Veterinarian Medicine (FKH)<\/a> Universitas Airlangga, Prof. Dr. Chairul Anwar Nidom MS drh shared his professional view. He believed the current spread of the bird flu virus is natural.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAllah has ordained that viruses lack completeness in their bodies, they cannot make their own energy. However, the viruses can replicate themselves by God\u2019s will,\u201d Prof. Nidom said.<\/p>\n\n<p>They require host cells to get energy. \u201cIf the hosts are sick, it means they are unprepared for the virus attack,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>The avian influenza virus can cause the death of chickens with a percentage of up to 100 percent. However, no conclusive evidence indicates that this virus can be transmitted from one person to another.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAs of now, we haven\u2019t gotten the evidence that the virus can be transmitted between humans,\u201d said the Professor of Molecular Biology of Viruses at Universitas Airlangga.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consuming poultry meat<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p>The condition makes people concerned about consuming poultry products, including meat and egg. The professor suggested that people not worry about it. Although it is dangerous, heating will kill the bird flu virus.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe chicken undergoes a feather removal process. During the process, the chicken is heated with water at a temperature of 56 to 60 degrees Celsius, which kills the virus,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>The virus will continue to exist while the chickens are alive. \u201cPeople should not come near the flocks of chickens. They have the potential to carry the virus,\u201d Prof. Nidom said. The same goes for eggs, as it has zero potential for transmitting the virus. \u201cOther than the eggshell, there is a thin white membrane inside the egg as a filter to prevent the entry of any microorganisms from the outside,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"368\" height=\"491\" src=\"https:\/\/unair.ac.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/prof-nidhom-2.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-191775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unair.ac.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/prof-nidhom-2.webp 368w, https:\/\/unair.ac.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/prof-nidhom-2-225x300.webp 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Prof. Dr. Chairul Anwar Nidom MS drh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>He suggested purchasing chicken meat from the market instead of buying chicken alive. \u201cDon\u2019t buy live chickens and cut the meat yourself. It has more risks. It is better to buy pre-cut chicken meat or a fully cooked one,\u201d added the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Nidom Foundation.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Preventing the virus transmission<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p>The bird flu virus is transmitted through the nose, mouth, and eyes. The virus spread can be prevented by wearing a mask. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the public is encouraged to wear masks, even with the lower severity of Covid-19 cases. Prof. Nidom explained that the habit of wearing masks should not be eliminated.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWearing a mask protects us from any particles of the virus, dust, and such. The chances of the bird flu virus infection are reduced,\u201d Prof. Nidom said.<\/p>\n\n<p>Another way is to maintain good health. A human body with good immunity can reduce the negative effects of viral infections. Besides, the public need not panic in facing this situation.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t panic about the virus. Stress negatively impacts the immune system. This factor makes the virus more harmful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Author: Icha Nur Imami Puspita<\/p>\n\n<p>Editor: Binti Q.
