TASK 3 Read it! Direction: The following texts are from different academic disciplines. Read it comprehensibly, then, supply each question with the correct answer. 1. Infection after consumption of fresh duck blood and undercooked poultry products has been suspected in some cases of illness. Indeed, transmission to felids was observed after experimental feeding of infected chickens to domestic cats, and feeding tigers raw infected chicken led to outbreaks of illness in Thai zoos, in which felid-to-felid transmissions were also implicated. Infected birds shed high concentrations of virus in feces. Direct intranasal or conjunctival inoculation while swimming in contaminated water, or, perhaps, inhalation or ingestion of water could have been potential modes of transmission to some H5N1-infected patients. As for human influenza, hand contamination from fomites and self-inoculation into the eye or upper respiratory tract remain possible modes.
