American medical authorities expressed strong concern as seven known cases of the flu, which has been identified as a potential source of a human flu pandemic, have been reported in the southern US.

Mexican authorities warned people to avoid crowds or using the subway as it launched a massive vaccination campaign in the country’s populous capital.

The World Health Organisation in Geneva, which activated its global epidemic operations centre, said 57 people had died from suspected swine flu in Mexico. Mexican Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova said at least 16 people had died of the swine flu in central Mexico, while officials were investigating 45 deaths and 943 possible infections. “It’s a virus which mutated from pigs and transmitted to some humans,” Dr Cordova said on television.

WHO spokesman Thomas Abraham said: “We are very, very concerned. We have what appears to be a novel virus and it has spread from human to human.” If an international spread was confirmed, that met the WHO’s criteria for raising the pandemic alert level, he added.

The US cases included five in California and two in Texas, in three clusters, WHO spokeswoman Fadela Chaib said in Geneva.

Mexican authorities closed schools in the capital and the centre of the country and Mexico City launched a widespread vaccination campaign for “all people who haven’t been vaccinated” against the usual winter flu, local Health Minister Armando Ahued said.

The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said there was no vaccine to specifically protect humans from swine flu. The virus, H1N1, contains DNA typical to avian, swine and human viruses, including elements from European and Asian swine viruses, the CDC has said.

“It’s very obvious that we are very concerned. We’ve opened emergency operation centres,” CDC spokesman Dave Daigle said.

Dr Cordova urged people to avoid large crowds, shaking hands, kissing as a greeting, or using the subway.

The White House was closely following the new cases, an administration official said. A spokesman for Hong Kong’s Centre for Health Protection said it was closely monitoring the investigation being conducted by its US counterparts…..

Avian influenza is a problem that affects in most of the cases the birds. This type of infection is caused by the bird flu viruses also called avian influenza viruses. These viruses are common among birds. Wild birds carry these viruses in their intestines but they never get affected by these viruses. Wild birds are only able to spread the virus that is usually caught by the domesticated birds including chickens, ducks or turkeys. The domesticated birds are affected and their internal organs are weakening which may lead to death.

The infected birds carry the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions or faeces. After any contact with an infected surface the domesticated birds may become infected too. Water also helps the spreading of the virus as much as dirt or cages or feed.

Bird flu can affect the domestic birds in two different ways. The first possibility is that the virus to go undetected and to cause rare and mild symptoms such as falling feathers or low egg production. This first possibility is the easy way. The highly pathogenic form spreads more rapidly and has more severe effects than the first form. This form usually causes the multiple internal organs failure and may lead to death.

We know many subtypes of bird flu viruses, more exactly of A influenza viruses. These subtypes differ because of the changes of protein levels on the surface of the influenza A virus, hemagglutini HA and neuraminidase NA proteins. There are 16 HA subtypes and 9 NA subtypes of influenza A viruses. There are available many combinations between HA and NA proteins. Each of these combinations represents a different subtype. All of these possible combinations can be seen in birds.

Avian influenza virus or bird flu virus refers in most of the cases to birds. Even so these infections may occur in humans too. The risks of developing avian influenza are low in humans. That is why during the last years we only noticed a small number of cases. The first case was reported in 1997 in Hong Kong during the bird flu pandemic. Humans might capture the virus after getting in contact with the affected birds or with contaminated surfaces or materials.

Among humans there are known only three subtypes of influenza viruses: H1N1, H1N2 and H3N2. Influenza A H5N1, one of the most dangerous viruses usually do not affect people. Even so we saw some cases during the time. These cases were the result of getting in close contact with the infected poultry or contaminated surfaces.

Avian influenza is a natural infection in wild birds, which are actually carriers without ever being affected by the disease. Never the less, the avian flu can be passed to domestic poultry through various types of contact such as sharing the same food and water or coming in contact with excrements and cages of contaminated birds. A fairly easy way of determining whether poultry such as chicken, ducks, turkeys has bird flu is microscope examination of their saliva and nasal secretions.

Bird flu caused by influenza A viruses does not have a spontaneous effect on humans. The possibility is rather low to many because we are not as susceptible to it as birds. Though rare, cases of human infection have been outlined by the press. The virus that spreads among humans is known as the human influenza virus and has three branches: H1N1, H1N2, H3N2. The viruses vary through the different types of proteins that form their genetic coat: Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidaze. Parts of the virus affecting humans have also been found in birds, but the main concern is that the virus is in permanent replication and may one day evolve into a more potent form.

Furthermore, there are two forms of influenza, differing through pathogenic capacity. The low form is usually not easily spotted and can cause minor derangements, while the high extremes of virulence are much more dangerous leading to high death ratio and damaging vital body parts.

Moreover, the H5N1 virus or the influenza A virus has affected a number of people. For this reason, it is becoming a nuisance in undeveloped regions of Asia and Africa where poverty is widespread and living conditions are at a limit. In these places transmission between different species of birds and bird to human transmission is very likely because people live in very close contact with their poultry. Generally the following manifestations are present: conjunctivitis, pneumonia, breathing disorder, fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches.

Although researchers are trying to come up with a vaccine as fast as possible, further experiments with the genetic coat of the virus are a must for the cure to be efficient. However, medication does exist. The likes of Zanamavir and Oseltamavir are currently on the market but it is not known whether they work or not.

At present time nobody can tell 100% if bird flu can cause a pandemic, but the H5N1 virus is closely monitored by experts worldwide.

Bird flu has led to the deaths of hundreds of millions of wild and domestic birds and to a small number of human deaths. Right now, however, bird flu remains difficult for humans to contract. Most people who have developed symptoms have had close contact with sick birds, though in a few cases, bird flu has passed from one person to another.

Flu viruses occur naturally in birds and have been recognized for more than 100 years. They are popularly known as bird flu, avian flu, bird influenza or avian influenza, and there are more than a dozen sub-types. They are often carried by wild birds, though it is usually domesticated birds that become sick.

Generally, the viruses do not affect humans, or cause mild illness at worst.

Diarrhea and Abdominal Pain: Diarrhea and abdominal pain has been a symptom in some patients, but not all of them. Watery diarrhea may be a symptom in bird flu cases, but is not a common symptom in regular flu. Diarrhea comes before respiratory symptoms. Two young patients had encephalitis and diarrhea without any respiratory symptoms.

The name H5N1 refers to the type of proteins found in the protein coat of the influenza virus - haemagglutinin 5(H5) and neuraminidase 1 (N1). There are dozens of different proteins that can be present, so that flu viruses called H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2 etc are also known.

Officials of the Kano state avian flu control committee detected the presence of Avian flu among 16,000 chickens on a farm a few days ago, a month after the area was declared free of the virus.

Avian influenza cannot be diagnosed by symptoms alone, so a laboratory test is required. Avian influenza is usually diagnosed by collecting a swab from the nose or throat during the first few days of illness. This swab is then sent to a laboratory, where they will either look for avian influenza virus using a molecular test, or they will try to grow the virus. Growing avian influenza viruses should only be done in laboratories with high levels of protection. If it is late in the illness, it may be difficult to find an avian influenza virus directly using these methods.

The virus has been identified in 12 states, including the largest city, Lagos, as well as around the federal capital, Abuja, since it was first confirmed in Nigeria four months ago.

Avian influenza infection in domestic poultry causes two main forms of disease that are distinguished by low and high extremes of virulence. The “low pathogenic” form may go undetected and usually causes only mild symptoms (such as ruffled feathers and a drop in egg production). However, the highly pathogenic form spreads more rapidly through flocks of poultry. It is the highly pathogenic form of H5N1 that concerns scientists.

Avian influenza (or bird flu) is a highly infectious disease affecting many species of birds, including chickens, duck, turkeys and geese. It can affect commercial, wild and pet birds. There are 15 types of bird flu, but the type that is causing concern at the moment is the deadly strain H5N1.

Avian flu passes from birds to other birds, but there have also been human cases. As of January 2007, the World Health Organization (WHO) had confirmed 270 cases of H5N1 in humans in Azerbaijan, Cambodia, China, Djibouti, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam, leading to 164 deaths.

Groshan Fabiola asked:


Bird flu is a disease caused by type “A” influenza viruses.

Wild birds are a natural reservoir of type A of flu virus, but they are not affected by it. They can infect domestic birds such as chicken or turkey, which get ill and die.

Birds get infected if they get in contact with secretions or excretions of the affected birds, with contaminated water or food and even with contaminated surfaces (dirt and cages).

The avian influenza viruses can cause a mild form of the disease that does not kill the infected birds, and it only reduces the egg production, and a highly virulent form that can lead to death within 48 hours by multiple internal organ lesions.

Type A of influenza virus has many different subtypes due to changes in some proteins situated on the surface of the A virus. These changeable proteins are Hemagglutinin (HA) and Neuraminidase (NA). There exist 16 known HA subtypes and 9 NA subtypes of “A” virus, but there are possible many combinations between HA and NA proteins, leading to new subtypes. All these subtypes can now be found in birds.

Until 1997 nobody knew that the virus can affect humans, but it has happened to those who have been in close contact with infected poultry. Until now, no cases of human to human transmission of the infection were registered.

Human influenza viruses generally refer to those subtypes that can infect only humans. There are known to exist three “A” subtypes of human influenza viruses (H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2). There is the possibility that these subtypes to have came from birds originally and scientists worry about the possibility that the bird flu viruses to mutate and transmit from human to human.

Some symptoms of bird flu infection on humans are: fever, lethargy, sore throat, breathing problems, conjunctivitis, muscle aches and cough.

Studies suggest that antiviral drugs used against human influenza might be useful in treating bird flu infection in humans too, but this thing must be studied more.

The H5N1 virus is one of the most lethal subtypes of the influenza “A” virus. In the last few years, in Asia, H5N1 caused millions of deaths among domestic birds and hundreds among humans. People got infected because they got in close contact with the infected poultry and the contaminated surfaces, but otherwise H5N1 remains a rare disease in people and does not spread from human to human.

There was one case in Indonesia where a family member is suspected to have transmitted the illness to the other members, but this fact has not been sustained scientifically.

Scientists are concerned about a possible mutation of the virus, leading to a global pandemic, similar to the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1919 when 40-50 million people died.

Doctors have discovered that H5N1 virus is resistant amantadine and rimantadine, two antiviral drugs used for treating human influenza. There remain oseltamavir and zanamavir to be tested.

A H5N1 vaccine is being tested and the results seem to be promising, this leading to an absolute control over the bird flu and even to its eradication.

Arunraj V.S. asked:


Swine Flu is a respiratory disease in pigs triggered by a virus called H1N1. The new strain of H1N1 is a deadly combination of viruses from pigs, birds and humans. They symptoms of Swine Flu are sudden fever, coughing, extreme exhaustion and muscle aches. There is also diarrhea and vomiting more than normal flu.

Risk factors: Medical experts say that people, who are exposed areas where pigs flock are at risk of contracting the virus. The strains of Swine flu rarely pass on from humans to humans. In rare cases, the virus mutates into a form that can move from one person to another. The strain responsible for the 2009 swine flu outbreak has apparently undergone such a mutation and may stay like that for a longer period of time.

Can Swine flu be prevented or cured? There is no vaccine which can prevent swine flu. Medicines like Tamiflu and Relenza can be effective, if taken in the early stages of the disease.

Is it safe to eat pork? Swine Flu is not caused by eating pork or its products including salami, ham and sausages. However, it is a good practice to cook pork over 70 degrees C, which kills the virus.

Why is it called swine flu? The virus is called swine flu because one of its surface proteins is similar to viruses that usually infect pigs. Pork industry in the US are putting pressure on the officials to change the name of the disease, because no pig as such have been found infected with this particular illness which has spread among humans.
