Post Reply - Infected house mice H5N1

   If 66 mice test positive for H5N1-would that represent 1% of "realistic number of H5N1 spread" at that moment...so stand for 6600 infected mice ? 
Or is even that to optimistic ? Must it be 10,000 infected mice+ already ? 
How fast does it spread in mice ? And in what ways ? 

-Reproduction may do it..."baby-mice" catching it from their mothers, "papa" mouse infecting "mama mouse"...
-Eating infected "food"...and since mice eat a lot of things -from droppings to dead animals- they may see infection increase high speed that way...
-M2M spread ? Living very close together, droplet spread will do...

So how dangerous is H5N1, other types of flu, CoViD or any other sort of disease in mice ? 

I think mice do have all kinds of diseases...most of them may have been of limited risk for humans. Simply because we managed to keep "a wall" between the world of mice and men...

Washing fresh products, storing food in places where mice can not get...cooking food may limit risk...

DJ...however this "wall" strategy has its limits...If there ends up being high viral loads in lots of products the "wall" may be broken...
