Xinmin Net: Spring outbreak of avian flu How much?

[I guess the translation for human to human transmission comes out as this.....]
2009-01-21
-snip-

More dangerous, because of family and friends reunion, if a person infected with avian flu, it may result in sexually transmitted groups.

Even though there are no reports of human transmission of avian moving, but because every time the scattered incidence of avian influenza can be caused by viral genes of adaptive mutation and lead to genetic recombination, thereby increasing its virulence, and ultimately may cause avian influenza in interpersonal inter-communication, but also may have family clusters of cases occur, the result is that the avian flu outbreak. While ago in Nanjing have also been two cases of family clusters of cases. Example, had to prevention.

On the other hand, the avian flu from poultry to humans is just one aspect, but also from other animals to humans. Has been confirmed that the pig-type (H1N1) and H2N2 and H3N2 avian influenza virus can be, respectively, from pigs and poultry to people and cause morbidity. 1918 Spanish flu pandemic of the pathogenic virus with swine influenza virus is very similar, which was suspected to be avian influenza virus from birds to pigs, after an increase of toxicity after the variation and transmission, before the final result of 20 million ~ 40 million people died enormous harm.

Antigenic variation of bird flu high frequencies, from different host susceptible to avian influenza virus gene alternately. Therefore, changing may also be infected with bird flu, but also may be associated with human influenza viruses to exchange genes, creating new highly virulent strain of influenza virus. Therefore, no matter in the scrape of a knife during the Spring Festival is the Brothers to the cattle, or to the chickens and ducks, are likely to increase in avian flu from animals to human transmission probability.

To guard against bird flu this winter and next spring for the Government, is an important task. As individuals, to guard against during the Spring Festival is a crucial period for avian influenza, especially in the South have slaughtered ducks live New Year's tradition in need of special precautions and observation, such as attention to disinfection and isolation. And cooked food during the Spring Festival also needs careful not been deep-processing of poultry products are also potentially dangerous, food must be cooked thoroughly burned. Therefore, in celebrating the Spring Festival, the bird flu had.

It is understood that the recent incidents in the Mainland of China 4 cases of human bird flu cases, two cases (Beijing, Shanxi Province) has a clear history of exposure to live poultry markets, one cases (Hunan) there is a history of exposure to poultry, which took place in Shandong cases, according to the survey do not have a clear history of exposure to poultry.

It is reported that Shandong Province, before the death of patients in the streets to sell "麻辣烫" make a living, according to her husband, the deceased had consumed a large number of the sick to get in touch with duck blood, chicken and other livestock products.

Chinese veterinary medicine experts to monitor the poultry disease researcher expressed NING Yi-bao, eating麻辣烫the safest way is to poultry foods in the沸汤shabu cooking 10 minutes.

Transmission of live poultry market potential
Did not happen in poultry bird flu cases, people infected with bird flu occurred, it appears to be a paradox.

But the National Avian Influenza Reference Laboratory director Chen Hualan pointed out that people infected with avian flu in many ways, First contact with infected poultry, and the other is contact with infected wild birds, and the third is access to HIV pollutants (food) goods and the environment.

According to statistics, there are now 14 countries, more than 300 people infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza, with consumption or contact with H5N1 avian influenza virus contaminated materials (food) are concerned, there are a certain number of patients with unknown infection.

CHEN Hua-lan said that from the recent live poultry markets and environmental sampling to monitor the situation, as well as in individual markets to detect positive samples that illustrate the live poultry market of the potential spread of the epidemic.

He said that despite the bird flu infection in people and caused deaths still haunt the experts, but you can be sure of is that the current findings of the avian flu virus, does not have the conditions for person to person, so the public need not worry too much.

China starts daily bird flu reporting system

BEIJING_China has started a daily bird flu reporting system for poultry and human cases after four people were infected with the H5N1 virus this month, three fatally, the Health Ministry said Thursday.

The Health Ministry, Agriculture Ministry and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce are requiring provincial departments to report every day on whether or not there have been infections in their areas.

Daily reporting has been implemented during previous outbreaks of bird flu and severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, and it underscores the government's worries over potential epidemics.

A spokesman at the Health Ministry's press office said the system was put in place earlier this week, when the death of a 16-year-old student infected with the virus in southwest China was announced.

A 27-year-old woman in eastern China and a 19-year-old woman in Beijing have also died from the disease this month.

A 2-year-old girl sickened with bird flu remained hospitalized in the country's north. Her mother, who like the toddler was also exposed to live poultry, died from pneumonia earlier this month, but health officials say they cannot confirm that she had been infected with H5N1.

The Agriculture Ministry has ordered increased monitoring and management of live poultry markets, especially before next week's Lunar New Year holiday, when people come into more contact with chickens and ducks when preparing celebratory meals.

The Health Ministry said Wednesday that there was no evidence of a large-scale outbreak of bird flu despite the new cases. It said the illnesses were isolated, unrelated and did not show significant mutations of the H5N1 virus.

They also occurred during the cold months, which experts have determined are high season for infections, it said.

According to the World Health Organization, bird flu has killed 249 people worldwide since 2003.

No sick poultry has been found in the areas where the four Chinese fell ill this year, despite officials inspecting hundreds of thousands of birds. This could mean that surveillance needs to be tightened or that poultry may be carrying the virus but not showing symptoms or falling sick. Vaccinations also reduce the amount of virus circulating, but low levels of H5N1 may still be causing outbreaks without the obvious signs of dying birds.

The WHO has said that the lack of reports of poultry outbreaks raised questions about the strength of China's monitoring system.

While the disease remains hard for humans to catch, scientists have warned if outbreaks among poultry are not controlled, the virus may mutate into a form more easily passed between people, possibly triggering a pandemic that could kill millions worldwide.
