Re: The H5N1/H1N1 Combo mix warning thread
Dec. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Alan Sipress needed more than a pen and paper to report on bird flu. To interview the mother of two victims in Java, he showed up wearing a white hooded jumpsuit with goggles, a respirator and rubber gloves that made it hard to take notes.
Bird flu, before it was pushed out of the news by swine flu, made headlines earlier this decade as the potential killer of tens of millions of people worldwide. That may seem like a false alarm. But avian flu hasn?t gone away, and in ?The Fatal Strain: On the Trail of Avian Flu and the Coming Pandemic,? Sipress, a Washington Post editor, shows why it or another flu strain may break out at any time as a mass exterminator.
A thorough reporter who knows how to tell a story, Sipress digs deep into influenza and the world?s capacity -- or lack of same -- to cope with it. He shows that governments and people are often reluctant to acknowledge the presence of infections, that flu may foil containment efforts, and that nations are short on vaccines, hospitals and everything else needed to combat flu.
His message amounts to that of a horror movie: ?Be afraid. Be very afraid.?
The so-called Spanish flu of 1918 killed an estimated 50 million people -- including 675,000 Americans, more than the U.S. death toll in all the wars of the 20th century, according to the book. ?Until recently, Spanish flu was considered the worst-case scenario,? Sipress writes. ?Bird flu has made the experts reconsider.?
444 Cases
The current wave of bird flu in humans began in 2003, according to the World Health Organization, and 15 countries have recorded a total of 444 laboratory-confirmed cases. Indonesia and Vietnam have been hit hardest. (The U.S. hasn?t had any cases.)
There have been 262 deaths recorded as the virus killed more than half its known victims, an enormously high fatality rate. Most of the victims caught it from contact with birds or their droppings rather than from other people. What?s more frightening, Sipress writes, is the possibility that the flu strain, called H5N1, will mutate into a form that is more easily transmissible between humans, which could cause untold numbers of deaths.
Flu viruses are highly prone to mutation. In addition to mutating on their own, the strains can mix with one another in a process called reassortment, creating microbes that are new and potentially even more deadly. The world has just been lucky that another flu with the virulence of the 1918 outbreak hasn?t emerged.
?A few genetic tweaks and millions could perish,? Sipress writes. That happens when a flu virus with a high mortality rate spreads easily among people but without killing so rapidly that victims die before passing along the virus.
Economic Fears
For fear of hurting their economies by scaring off tourists or forcing the slaughter of birds, Asian countries were often slow to acknowledge bird-flu threats, Sipress writes. Ordinary citizens can be oblivious to the threat and engage in what may be high-risk behavior, such as exposing themselves to infected birds at cockfighting matches, including one that Sipress witnessed in Thailand.
The witch doctors still used by many Asians are powerless to stop flu, Sipress writes, and the most advanced medical systems in the world may not be much better. A powerful pandemic would overwhelm hospitals and drug supplies, and outstrip the world?s capacity to make vaccine.
?Though governments have recently taken steps to gird the world for a pandemic, too little has been done,? Sipress concludes.
The book arrives just as swine flu, or H1N1, is making news. As of October, swine flu may have killed as many as 6,000 people in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The case fatality rate for swine flu is tiny next to the rate for bird flu in Asia, but far more people catch H1N1 in the first place and human-to-human transmission is routine.
As there is only the briefest mention of this outbreak -- officially a pandemic -- in ?The Deadly Strain,? the author?s warning about ?the coming pandemic? seems oddly out of date. On reflection, it is no less valid.
?The Fatal Strain? is published by Viking (386 pages, $27.95). To buy this book, click here.

Dr. Nguyen Tran Hien, Director of Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology said central, this is a typical case, very worrying. Many experts around the world have expressed concern the combination of genes between two virus will create a new pathogenic virus such as H5N1 and strong as H1N1 spreads fast. Thus, the health sector are increasing surveillance at Dien Bien.
In addition, masters Nguyen Hong Ha, deputy director of the Central Hospital of Tropical warnings, the hospital case notes with pneumonia during the winter influenza H1N1 infection should be suspected, the test date for the treatment accordingly.
"However, difficulties in that, among hospitals in the North, the only hospital in tropical Central and Children's Hospital Central is likely to be tested. Therefore, the hospital must take Left sample and sending it, "Mr Ha said.
About vaccines, the World Health Organization (WHO) said, is expected to move 1.2 million doses of vaccine to Vietnam, during the period from September 12, 2009 to February 2010.
WHO has confirmed H1N1 vaccines safe vaccines as flu season normally. Cases of hypersensitivity after injection include: urticaria, angioedema and anaphylaxis, and can range from mild to severe levels.
Anaphylaxis can be life threatening if not timely medical care. Although this phenomenon is rare, but the WHO also requires government agencies to be ready to receive and carry out appropriate treatment for this reaction.
According to WHO, the risk of adverse reactions of vaccines was still much smaller than the risk of serious flu epidemic that infected the high-risk group suffered.

Expert: guard against human influenza virus and avian influenza virus recombinant variant 2009-12-09 10:01
Human influenza virus, mutation, infection not long ago, "first found in China dog infected with a flow "have aroused widespread concern some people worried that exacerbate the epidemic spread of a stream, but also some people worried that a stream will be spread among animals, and will generate a new epidemic. A flow of the Ministry of Health Clinical XU Xiao-yuan, deputy head of the Group of Experts explained that although the cats and dogs and other animals can be infected with a flow of the virus, but does not like the birds in the rapid spread of the virus among populations.
LONDON December 9 News: Not long ago, "China's first dog was found infected with a flow" have aroused widespread concern some people worried that exacerbate the epidemic spread of a stream, but also some people worried that a stream will be spread among animals, and will generate a new epidemic. Please pay attention to --
November 25, Ministry of Agriculture, China Agricultural University, received a report that the school of Veterinary Medicine Clinical Hospital from the 52 dogs nose and throat swab samples in the incidence, and the detection of two samples was positive for Influenza A H1N1 influenza etiology. Concerned that this was my first detected in dogs infected with a stream. For the first time that China found in dogs infected with influenza, experts said the most likely transmitted from person dog, but also may be a dog pass the dog situation.
In dogs, the virus body found in a stream, does it mean that the virus virulence and transmission enhancements? In this regard, the Ministry of Health experts explained that cats, dogs are all that can be infected with a flow of the virus, this time in dogs to test out a flow, not to say that the virus variation, please do not be overly concerned about the public.
A flow of dogs infected will infect humans
Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for a person, from the current state of some of the cases, the U.S., Canada, Belgium and other countries have detected human infection with the virus and then infect animals situation. Which, in turn, animals, humans, the situation, the international studies are still not yet have a clear conclusion.
In his view, the dogs infected with influenza A H1N1 influenza virus, most likely by a dog or dogs have had close contact with the influenza A H1N1 infection influenza patients. The person in charge said that a dog infected with influenza A H1N1 influenza will be transmitted to neighboring dogs.
A flow of the Ministry of Health Clinical XU Xiao-yuan, deputy head of the Group of Experts explained that although the cats and dogs and other animals can be infected with a flow of the virus, but does not like the birds in the rapid spread of the virus among populations. On the contrary, cats, dogs and other animals, is not an easy communication between groups A stream. The cats, dogs and between, but not easy to spread the virus.
Before, there are already reports that other countries in pigs, cats have the virus found in a stream. Some experts also said that these cases from the foreign point of view, the U.S., Canada, Belgium and other countries have detected human infection with the virus and then infect animals situation.
For by what means the dogs infected with A stream, XU Xiao-yuan said the need for further study.
A flow of people and dogs were suffering from normal
"In fact, influenza is a 'zoonotic disease,' flu virus found in cats and dogs is not surprising." Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control Epidemic Institute Jianfeng pointed out, the flu has always been a zoonotic disease, the main is a mammal susceptible. In the past, pigs, cats, dogs and other animals, have detected other types of influenza viruses. A stream as a new type of influenza virus is no exception, so no need for panic.
Like the pet of the "Owners", "cat owner" Do you want to guard? He Jianfeng that the current pass in the end is a human dog, or the dog to pass people, have been inconclusive.
"There are no strains found to attack and attack dogs were the same strain, we can not prove that such a flow of strain can be transmitted between humans and canines." Prevention and control of the Group of Henan Province, deputy head of a stream, Provincial People's Hospital, chief physician mahi, Tao said that even if a dog can be transmitted to humans, transmission rate is also lower than the rate of transmission between people. "A flow mainly through respiratory droplets spread, people in theater to see movies A flow rate of transmission, but also much larger than the spread of the rate of human pet."
"But now the A peak flow through the air transmission of the 'person to person' is still the main mode of transmission. So do the public are mainly self-protection and wash their hands more ventilation, less late at night, must also pay close attention to the health of pets Once abnormal seek medical attention promptly. "Jianfeng be emphasized enough.
Guard against avian flu mutation re -
PLA Influenza A H1N1 influenza joint prevention and control checks on members of the Group, the Air Force General Hospital, Infection Control Branch, director of Cao Jingui that both the flow found in people suffering from a virus after the dog, or prior to transmission to pigs, are not terrible, just one case, two animals with the virus mutates is another matter. Worthy of attention is the human influenza virus and avian flu virus re-occurring mutations.
"The virus transmission to pigs, dogs, in fact a kind of organizational compatibility issues. In medical experiments, many experiments with dogs, pigs, rabbits, rats do, and this shows a lot of virus in some animals and people who are compatible. "Cao Jingui said, therefore, a stream of people pass on the virus, whether animal or animals to people, from a medical point of view, are not too horrible thing. In addition, a flow rate of the virus to death is not high, even if small variations are not particularly big problem, without too nervous.
However, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Zhong Nanshan, director of the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases has once again issued a warning that a stream in the prevention and control, while doing a good job, but also should be wary of a re-flow and mutation of avian flu, "If this phenomenon occurs, for the human impact will be catastrophic. "
WHO's latest figures show that the global flow of A confirmed death toll reached 7826 people died within a week, an increase of 1076 cases, this figure has been far more than bird flu. Today, China confirmed its first case a dog infected with A stream, compared to the previous chicken birds were carrying the avian flu virus, said Zhong Nanshan, a stream, if and avian flu would be a major disaster recombinant variant. So, a dog infected with A in China confirmed its first case flow, compared with chickens carrying the avian flu virus is more terrible.
"Now, there including Hong Kong, the report A multi-country and regional variation of the phenomenon of flow." Zhong Nanshan, does not exclude the possibility of this phenomenon on a large scale, he said that the high fatality rate of avian flu, we must guard against a stream and birds Recombinant avian flu mutation possible. Such a situation arise, it will be a very big disaster.
Meanwhile, vice president of the Hong Kong College of Medicine Sung also revealed dogs and cats infected will increase the opportunities for the spread of SARS, so that higher risk. He said that if a close human contact with animals infected with a stream, will increase the risk of virus outbreaks, this situation as an outbreak of bird flu among chickens like. "If cats and dogs and other pets were infected with the human A stream will be greater risk to humans." He said, not without concern. :tiphat:http://news.xinmin.cn/rollnews/2009/12/09/3053803.html

- In case of death due to influenza A/H5N1 after eating duck soup more of a young men at Dien Bien on November 30 experts has raised concerns about the ability to match the influenza A/H1N1 virus and influenza A/H5N1 virus are at risk are very close.
"The risk of a combination of influenza virus A/H1N1 and influenza A/H5N1 virus is very close to. Vietnam currently has sufficient condition for this risk becomes reality, "Dr. Nguyen Tran Hien, Director of Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology of central receiving.
Show his outlook given the Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology Central announced the latest report on the epidemiological investigation in Dien Bien, which is just the latest case of deaths due to H5N1.
First H5N1 avian influenza and pandemic influenza A/H1N1 appeared together in a community population (Photo: VNN)
Epidemiological investigation showed that: In case of death by eating more duck soup at Dien Bien is positive for influenza A/H5N1 virus. After taking a random sample from their child's case to test the test, the results showed that young cousin's death was due to influenza A/H5N1 influenza A/H1N1 infection.
Continue to check poultry being raised by families of cases of death due to influenza A/H5N1, the results showed: Poultry is also infected with influenza A/H5N1.
"So, the first in Vietnam, the same time, the influenza A/H1N1 and influenza A/H5N1 occurred in a community population, in both human and poultry. Therefore, likely a new strain will come out, the recombinant virus from the second. If this happens, the virus would have spread faster than influenza A/H1N1 virus, while also having a higher pathogenic influenza A/H5N1 virus, "said the sage.
If this risk becomes reality, the health sector will face challenges more heavily. Actually shows that influenza A/H1N1 virus can spread easily in all conditions. Now with influenza A/H5N1, mortality rate in Vietnam as of this moment is 100%!
Currently, the health sector is being implemented to control and closely monitor the disease situation at Dien Bien province in particular, at the same time coordinate with ministries and departments concerned to implement measures to control the back of avian influenza in other localities in the country.
However, in the current situation, this control may not happen as easily as expected. According to a review of the Department of Animal Health (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), now many places have not actively implementing measures to prevent disease, lead to bird flu outbreak started emitted.

After taking a random sample from their child's case to test the test, the results showed that young cousin's death was due to influenza A/H5N1 influenza A/H1N1 infection.
Continue to check poultry being raised by families of cases of death due to influenza A/H5N1, the results showed: Poultry is also infected with influenza A/H5N1.
"So, the first in Vietnam, the same time, the influenza A/H1N1 and influenza A/H5N1 occurred in a community population, in both human and poultry. Therefore, likely a new strain will come out, the recombinant virus from the second. If this happens, the virus would have spread faster than influenza A/H1N1 virus, while also having a higher pathogenic influenza A/H5N1 virus, "said the sage.
If this risk becomes reality, the health sector will face challenges more heavily. Actually shows that influenza A/H1N1 virus can spread easily in all conditions. Now with influenza A/H5N1, mortality rate in Vietnam as of this moment is 100%!
Currently, the health sector is being implemented to control and closely monitor the disease situation at Dien Bien province in particular, at the same time coordinate with ministries and departments concerned to implement measures to control the back of avian influenza in other localities in the country.
However, in the current situation, this control may not happen as easily as expected. According to a review of the Department of Animal Health (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), now many places have not actively implementing measures to prevent disease, lead to bird flu outbreak started emitted.

Labor Day 281 of December 10, 2009 Last Updated: 7:57 AM, October 12, 2009
HPAI remains concerned connection to human health.
(Labor) - * WHO began distributing influenza A/H1N1 vaccine funding, but the Health Ministry VN not willing to commit to the terms. * Recommendation: When pneumonia, influenza A/H1N1, please test.
On September 12, World Health Organization (WHO) in Vietnam has announced the supply of flu vaccine ArepanrixTM (Room influenza A/H1N1) in the form of aid. WHO has received funding commitments with a total of 180 million doses of vaccine, of which 50 million doses of Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) 100 million doses of Sanofi Pasteur.
17 countries in the western Pacific will receive vaccine financing. In particular, U.S. will provide 1.2 million doses. WHO estimated transfer vaccine from September 12 to January February 2010. However, U.S. does not have the vaccine right this time, because in terms of receiving funding, countries must commit to receive vaccine organization and distribution of vaccine inoculation closely.
Besides, if any side effects after injection, the responsibility belongs to the national implementation of injection. This reason, the Ministry of Health is not ready to commit to signing WHO.
Answer: "In the case of side effects occurred after the vaccine, who will be the main person responsible?", WHO just confirmed: Safety of the vaccine should be guaranteed from production to to the vaccine for people. Regulatory Authority of the National Register vaccine based on scientific evidence provided by the manufacturer. This is the basis to ensure that vaccines meet the standards of quality and safety and
vaccine can be distributed and vaccination in accordance with standards and procedures stricter. Until now, pandemic vaccine safety are similar to regular seasonal flu vaccine. So far, no deaths related to this vaccine in any country.
Also on September 12, Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology Surgeons (VSDT) and Henry Jackson Foundation Fund (USA) have started the project "Research rates antibodies circulating H5N1 virus in humans in Hanoi, Thua Thien -- Hue and Tien Giang, funding more than 1.6 million, carried out from January to September 2010 now. This project aims to determine the rate of H5N1 virus infection in the serum of the community through 12,000 individual blood samples, analyzing and making blood banks. This is a study of influenza A/H5N1 biggest scale ever in Vietnam.

In the same time, the test samples of poultry in the family, were found positive for influenza A/H5N1. Thus, the flu vaccine was conditionally to interact in the same time. So, once again to alert the recombinant strains led to a new highly pathogenic influenza, the ability to spread strength. Monitoring results show that influenza A/H1N1, almost 100% of patients with influenza is influenza vaccine H1/N1.

By February 2010, Vietnam will receive 1.2 million doses of vaccine ArepanrixTM sent by the World Health Organization (WHO), announced December 9 the representative office of WHO in Vietnam. ArepanrixTM vaccine (with adjuvant) was produced by GlaxoSmithKline, Canada. The epidemic of influenza A (H1N1) continues to evolve complex.There is risk of interaction between influenza A (H1N1) and avian influenza (H5N1), for his part said the director of the Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, Nguyen Tran Hien, during the ongoing meeting the national steering committee on the prevention and fight against the epidemic of influenza in Hanoi Wednesday. Currently, the number of cases of influenza A is down, but medical authorities advise to carefully examine patients with pneumonia.

December 13 letter from the Chinese news half-hour audience
A flow of H1N1 avian influenza H5N1 reorganization will be a catastrophe
First, we look with the spread of influenza cases in China.
According to the Army General Hospital of Shenyang Military Region, a doctor say that there is a variation of flow has occurred, and not just a new variant virus, for the variation of the virus is currently no drug that can cure. Zhong Nanshan, China's well-known respiratory disease experts also pointed out that if the H1N1 and H5N1 re-combination, it would be a catastrophe. Please listen to this station's reporter Cai Hong, Qi months of coverage

Re: The H5N1/H1N1 Combo mix warning thread
Many may be assuming that if H1N1 and H5N1 reassort/recombine, that the resultant strain will contain the highly pathogenic genes (polybasic cleavage site and NS1/92 mutations and other unknown factors). This may not happen.
If the HP genes do NOT get picked up, wouldn't the results have a virulence similar to any novel strain?
