Authorities are urgently searching for 40 to 43 rhesus monkeys that escaped from the Alpha Genesis Primate Bio Lab in Yemassee, South Carolina, on Wednesday evening.

The Yemassee Police Department confirmed the escape and is deploying traps and thermal imaging cameras to locate the animals.

Residents are advised to keep doors and windows closed, avoid approaching the monkeys, and call 911 if spotted, as their escape poses a potential public health risk.

H5N1 UPDATE

California child who tested positive for H5N1 bird flu had same strain from dairy farm outbreak

The child had no contact with dairy cattle.

On 23 November 2024, the United States reported a confirmed human case of avian influenza
A(H5) virus infection for which the source of exposure was unknown (12). The case was a
minor residing in the state of California who had no comorbidities and no history of travel. The
case had onset of symptoms on 11 November 2024, with nasal congestion, sore throat,
cough, and fatigue. The case received medical attention at an emergency center on 12
November 2024, at which time a nasopharyngeal swab specimen was collected for
laboratory analysis. On 13 November 2024, the specimen yielded positive results for influenza
A by an influenza/VRS/SARS-CoV-2 rapid PCR test and the case was treated with oseltamivir
(8). The case did not require hospitalization and is recovering from their illness. According to

The "mystery disease" in the DRC has now spread to seven of the 30 health zones in Kwango province, according to WHO.

Most cases are reported in three of the seven affected health zones.

Japan advises against unnecessary travel to the region affected by the "mystery epidemic" in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to the South China Morning Post.

Thailand's Ministry of Health has sent a warning to all its offices about the "mystery epidemic" in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Health authorities have been asked to closely monitor checkpoints at border crossings and airports, according to local media.

All clear: The traveler from Tanzania who was hospitalized in Ohio with flu-like symptoms was found to have a routine illness.

The hospital says it took precautions because the patient came from a region experiencing a deadly outbreak.

Samples are being tested in Italy after a man who returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo was hospitalized with flu-like symptoms.

The patient was hospitalized in the city of Lucca on November 22 and was later discharged because he had recovered.

Three Dead, Several in Critical Condition Following Mysterious Disease Outbreak at Nigerian Military School in Zaria, Nigeria

A mysterious illness has claimed the lives of at least three students at the Nigerian Military School (NMS) in Zaria, Kaduna State. Officers and parents have been seen in large numbers at the school following the outbreak, with many rushing to withdraw their children.

The first student died at around 10:00 AM on Friday from unknown causes, with two more fatalities reported since. Several other students are in critical condition and have been hospitalized at Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH).

A parent shared, "Our children are no longer safe. The army must tell us what’s killing them." The cause of the illness is still under investigation.

Brigadier General AD Audu, Commandant of NMS, confirmed the outbreak, stating that initial test results indicated cardiovascular issues in the first deceased student, though further investigations are ongoing.

In response to the "mystery epidemic" in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Honduras will screen all people entering the country at border crossings.

It becomes the fourth country to take measures against the outbreak.

Cases have been reported in family clusters.

It means transmission within households.

"Hundreds of vials containing live viruses have gone missing from a lab…in Australia, sparking an investigation…323 samples of live viruses—including Hendra virus, Lyssavirus and Hantavirus—went missing…in a 'serious breach of biosecurity protocols.'"

"The breach was discovered in August 2023, with nearly 100 of the missing vials containing Hendra virus, which is deadly. Two of the vials contained hantavirus, while 223 vials contained samples of lyssavirus."

"Hendra virus has a 57 percent fatality rate in humans"

A new strain of bird flu has been detected in Iowa.

"This is a separate wild bird strain," Naig says. "It's not the dairy strain, and it's not the previous poultry strain. So, it's new and it's quite aggressive."

Mike Naig is the state's Agriculture Secretary, and he says they're expecting more.

A first team took 48 hours to reach the affected area and carry out rapid tests for malaria detection: most of them were positive.

They also took samples.

These samples arrived in the capital on Saturday evening, but were too damaged to be usable.

China reports 2 new human cases of H9N2 bird flu, according to the Centre for Health Protection.

Among them, nearly 100 vials contained the Hendra virus (transmitted from horses to humans, with a 57% fatality rate). Two vials contained the hantavirus (spread by rodents, with a 38% fatality rate), and 223 vials contained the lyssavirus (rabies virus, with an almost 100% fatality rate).

The most likely cause of the "disappearance" is thought to be the loss of containers during transfer to a new freezer. The Ministry of Health is conducting an investigation.

Italy is testing a second person who returned from the DRC and developed flu-like symptoms.

The woman returned from the African country on November 29 and immediately went to the hospital in Cosenza, according to Agenzia Nazionale Stampa Associata.

A woman who had symptoms similar to those described for the disease spread in a remote area of the Congo and still not diagnosed, was admitted in recent days to the hospital in Cosenza.

The woman, according to what has been learned, returned from the African country on November 29 and immediately went to the hospital accusing fever and other ailments.
