    A reassorted H5N1 that is a combination of clade 2.3.4.4b (dairy virus clade) and clade 2.3,2,1c (an older H5N1 clade) is infecting Cambodia. 4 people have been infected and all have died.-a The 5th person was
    confirmed to be infected with H5N1, but the clade has not been
    determined and she has been in the hospital since mid May.-a She did not have contact with poultry, so they do not know how she got infected.
    This seems to be a highly pathogenic virus strain.-a We are lucky that a different reassorted virus infected the dairy herds in the US.

    Sort of an update. 14 individuals have been identified as being
    infected in Cambodia. the last victim was confirmed July 26th, and he
    is in the ICU. The first 5 cases resulted in fatality, and they are
    claiming that 7 total have died so far. The most recent case probably
    ate infected chickens.

    All the cases seemed to have had to be hospitalized, and they are not
    saying how many have recovered only that 7 have died.
