3. Are there any infectious viruses on bird droppings?

Bacteria and viruses are one of the oldest and most tenacious species on earth. As long as there is life on earth, there must be viruses and bacteria. In fact, there is no need to be so scared and fearful. Not all viruses and bacteria are harmful. Some humans are completely immune to them, some live in peace with humans, and of course some are very dangerous and deadly. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to worry about foreign viruses for domestic birds. Even if the bird droppings are dirty and contain viruses, they are unlikely to be dangerous and deadly. Of course, try to avoid or avoid direct contact with unhygienic things, regardless of whether there are dangers and viruses. This is basic common sense.

Chinchillas don't have skin parasites like mites because there are 20-100 hairs in one pore, so parasites can't survive. Also, there are almost no germs on chinchillas because they eat grass and are not easily infected with germs. There is no case of chinchillas carrying germs to infect humans. - -

7. Can red-eared sliders transmit viruses?

Red-eared sliders do not transmit viruses, but they do transmit infectious bacteria. Red-eared sliders are also the culprit for the spread of Salmonella. 85% of farmed turtles carry paratyphoid Salmonella, especially young turtles. These pathogens have been proven to be transmitted to warm-blooded animals, including humans, and spread among them. [Wash your hands in time after touching a red-eared slider] If you have already kept a red-eared slider as a pet, you must wash your hands in time after touching it and do not take food immediately. At present, some people lack awareness of the impact of alien species on the ecological environment. The relevant departments should strengthen the knowledge publicity in this regard, popularize the basic knowledge of biological invasion, strictly prevent the invasion of alien species, and jointly protect a good ecological environment.

8. Do chickens and ducks have infectious diseases?

It is very likely. For example, the avian influenza that has been prevalent in many places in the past two years may infect chickens and ducks, and of course they can also infect each other.

9. Why did a new virus suddenly appear in Wuhan?

The sudden discovery of a new virus in Wuhan seems to be because the Spring Festival is approaching and the seafood market imports frozen food from the sea. The virus comes from the imported frozen items. People who move items are exposed to the virus and the virus is transmitted through respiratory contact. The intensive flow of people leads to transmission within families, hospitals, markets, and large areas.

10. Who is the origin of the new coronavirus?

According to the latest research, the new coronavirus may have originated from bats, which are mobile virus reservoirs and carry many viruses. So far, more than 4,100 viruses have been discovered, and more than 800 of them are coronaviruses.

Bats will not directly transmit the virus to humans. Bats are the natural hosts of the virus. It is only through intermediate hosts, that is, wild animals, that the virus will cause illness in humans.

Most humans are infected with viruses because of eating or coming into contact with wild animals. Therefore, as humans we should protect the environment and wild animals, refuse to hunt or kill wild animals, and not eat wild animals.
