A rare form of bird flu that can infect humans has been detected for the first time in the US, officials said Monday.

The H5N9 strain was found at a California duck farm that has already lost nearly 119,000 birds to the more common H5N1 variant of the disease, which is formally known as Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), officials said.

“This is the first confirmed case of HPAI H5N9 in poultry in the United States,” the US Department of Agriculture said in a report to the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) on Monday.

The positive test at the Merced County farm has led to “comprehensive epidemiological investigations and enhanced surveillance,” the government report noted.

H5N9 is a rare form of the common H5N1 bird flu, which has recently spread aggressively around the US, leading to the culling of hundreds of millions of poultry.

There have been 66 confirmed human cases of the bird flu in the US over the past year, with the first death recorded earlier this month in Louisiana, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The new virus strain as the N9 gene that also makes it possible to infect humans, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has said.

“Whether this novel H5N9 virus will cause human infections from its avian host and become a pandemic subtype is not known yet,” the NIH said in in an earlier report about the strain.

Officials say people with jobs dealing with the infected birds are at the greatest risk for infection.

So far, experts have yet to detect a significant change in the virus and its different strains that could cause another pandemic in the US.
