In September, a person in Missouri was reported as the first in the U.S. to test positive for bird flu without known exposure to infected animals. Currently, there is no evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada has confirmed its first case of bird flu in a person, as a teenager in British Columbia tests positive for the H5 avian flu, Arab News reported yesterday.
