Fear of failure of the vaccine and then variants of avian

Variant of avian flu hit Hong Kong waiting in the wings!

「2.3.2.1」，。​

Shenzhen Baoan District bus drivers infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus infection in dead birds in Hong Kong last year, a new virus belong to branches of "2.3.2.1", display variant of avian influenza virus had reached Hong Kong.

Hong Kong microbiologist warning, H5 bird flu virus has evolved to the fifth-generation, antigenic drift occurs, the local chicken farmers worried about the current use of the vaccine product of the eighties the Netherlands, anti-viral effectiveness of the new skeptical.

。​

Experts suggest that the Government strengthen the monitoring of the new virus lineages in the next six months, and if the mainstream, must be converted chicken vaccine to prevent bird flu variant outbreak in Hong Kong.

<!--leadin class-->

Shenzhen CDC respiratory samples taken after the deceased, shows that the virus mutation, the sequence is "2.3.2.1", earlier in Yuen Long in Hong Kong picked up dead birds tested positive for the virus, and two ○ 一○ the discovery of human infection avian influenza viruses are similar, reflecting the variety of bird flu has already invaded Hong Kong.

H5 avian influenza virus constantly changes during the past decade, the latest discovery of the virus branches "2.3.2.1" is already the fifth generation, the Hong Kong University infection and infectious disease center director, warned yesterday Ho Pak-leung ︰ "avian influenza virus through four gene variants, there have been antigenic drift, that is, changes in viral surface proteins, or reduce vaccine effectiveness, the use of chickens in Hong Kong Netherlands vaccine is a product of the eighties, to be against the first three generations of the virus, but the virus has evolved to the fifth generation, protection doubtful. "

Harbin vaccine intended for Vietnam

Ho Pak-leung means, "2.3.2.1" a year ago in parts of Asia such as Vietnam, and the virus has become mainstream, even if the local chickens were injected vaccine Netherlands, but also large-scale outbreak, local farms are considering the conversion of Harbin vaccine.

。​

He warned that if the neighboring regions or Hong Kong in the next six months, have been discovered dead birds or chickens infected "2.3.2.1", or the virus into the mainstream, the Government need to replace the vaccine, the vaccine Harbin switch to the mainland.

University of Hong Kong, Professor Yuen Kwok-yung said the Department of Microbiology, chickens are not as human vaccines like influenza vaccine each year trend of conversion by virus vaccine formulations. Dutch vaccine use in Hong Kong has long been the avian flu virus the body will naturally in chickens a "survival of the fittest" situation, gradually evolved out of the vaccine virus can not be suppressed, the chickens must be constant monitoring of existing vaccines against the force of the pandemic virus.
Hong Kong tests more than a year not later

Chicken farm in Yuen Long in Hong Kong since ○ 八年 after the death of a large number of chickens, chicken farmers and experts question the power of the Dutch vaccine protection decreased, AFCD ○ 年 一月 respectively, in a medium-sized and small farms test Harbin vaccine. It is reported that the trial period, no abnormal chicken deaths. AFCD original account of the results of last November, has not so far below.

RTHK is now reporting the strain in the victim is similar to the one discovered in a Hong Kong live poultry market recently.

http://rthk.hk/rthk/news/elocal/news.htm?elocal&20120103&56&808993


The Centre for Health Protection has said that the strain of bird flu virus which led to the death of a man in Shenzhen at the weekend was very similar to that recently found in wild birds in Hong Kong.
Genetic analysis also found that the virus can be treated by amantadine, a common antiviral drug.

The man, a 39-year-old bus driver, who lived in Shenzhen, died from multi-organ failure on Saturday, a week after being admitted to hospital with a fever brought on by the virus.

Meanwhile, the Shenzhen Centre for Disease Prevention and Control stressed that the virus could not be transmitted between humans, and urged people not to panic.

"The virus found in the patient was 90 percent similar to H5N1 viruses previously isolated in ducks in China, which suggested that the man was very likely to have been infected through direct contact with a bird," the centre said in a statement.

The Standard


Tuesday, January 03, 2012

The Guangdong Department of Agriculture announced on Saturday that no epidemic of bird flu among poultry has been reported in the province.

Hong Kong infectious diseases specialist Lo Wing-lok criticized the center's report as "confusing" and "nonsense."

Lo said: "They cannot say that the virus is similar to that found in wild birds and say Chen may have contracted the virus from wild birds.

"There is no evidence in the whole world that suggests people contract H5N1 through wild birds. It is always through poultry.

"Does that mean the virus simply fell from the sky?"

Re: China - Human case of H5N1 Dies in Shenzhen, Guangdong province (December 30 2011)

I agree. It defies logic to suggest that Mr. Chen was infected from wild birds when he is, apparently, the only person in China to do so.

This makes no sense at all. Where are all the other H5N1 infections in humans if this mode of transmission is valid? There should be thousands of cases among children who play in the parks - at the very least.

Is the media being manipulated?

The most likely scenario based on historical data is that this bus driver was infected from a human contact or a poultry contact.

 

[sharon sanders]

Re: China - Human case of H5N1 Dies in Shenzhen, Guangdong province (December 30 2011)

And, in fact, there are no recent documented cases of H5N1 positive wild birds in mainland China. There are recent denials, however:

China - Officials Say Bird Flu H5N1 Ruled Out in 66 Magpie Deaths in Hengshui Lake Nature Reserve, Hebei province - December 28, 2011


China - 43 seagulls die off - Gov says bird flu ruled out - Yunnan province - December 18, 2011


So which is it? Wild birds are, indeed, carrying and transmitting H5N1 in China which would cause a great many human cases, and just not one,.....or,

Mr. Chen was infected by a human or a poultry contact.

 

[sharon sanders]

Re: China - Human case of H5N1 Dies in Shenzhen, Guangdong province (December 30 2011)

And furthermore, if wild birds are carrying H5N1 in China's parks and wetlands, then shouldn't the government alert all of their citizens as well as the world community about this danger?

The world visitors to China should be made aware via travel warnings and alerts that a communicable disease threat exists via wild bird exposure (including, but not limited to: excrement, feathers, food, reservoirs, lakes, parks, wetlands).

According to the World Travel and Tourism Council tourism in China was 9.8% of that country's GDP in 2009:

"Travel & Tourism in China accounts for 9.8% of China's GDP, or Rmb2,993.7 billion (US$449.3 billion), and 7.8% of total employment in the country, or 60.8 million jobs."

Is money the driving force for the denials of wild bird H5N1 outbreaks?

Re: China - Human case of H5N1 Dies in Shenzhen, Guangdong province (December 30 2011)

As I am scanning the China new media reports this evening I see many, many articles saying that this bird flu strain is not transmissible between humans. I wish some independent group could verify this. Here is an example:

Shenzhen bird flu deaths virus sequenced

Chinese Bird Flu Death Was Mutant Strain, Say Health Experts
First bird flu death confirmed in China since 2010
By Jane Lin
Epoch Times Staff

The strain of H5N1 avian influenza that infected and killed a man in Shenzhen, China, was a mutant strain of the deadly virus, according to Chinese and Hong Kong media reports.

A 39-year-old bus-driver named Chen died from multiple organ failure on Dec. 31 after being infected, according to the Department of Health of Guangdong Province.

The health department stated that an expert team had examined Chen and confirmed that he contracted the H5N1 avian influenza virus.

Later, experts from both Shenzhen and Hong Kong confirmed that it was a mutant strain of H5N1, though they did not go into detail about what kind of mutation it was.

The Guangdong Department of Health said that in the month before Chen became infected he did not have a history of contact with domestic fowl, nor had he traveled away from home. Further, the 120 people who were confirmed to have had close contact with him did not show any symptoms of the disease.

Ma Wuhan, Deputy Director of the Center for Disease and Control in Shenzhen, told Hong Kong media that the form of the virus that infected the patient was “very virulent,” which is why the patient had experienced a strong reaction, ending in death. He also said that so far, the virus has not been transmitted from human to human: only from animal to human.

Chinese media reported that Chen lived close to a man-made lake and wetlands inhabited by many wild birds. An expert team on avian influenza also stated in the diagnostic report that “the patient had a habit of working out in the morning, and had contracted the disease during the bird flu season.”

Zhou Poping, the chief of an avian influenza expert team in Shenzhen, said that although the patient did not have contact with fowl, experts surmised that he contracted the virus through bird feces, according to a report by Nanfang Daily.

In Hong Kong, the nearby island city south of Shenzhen, there were three reported cases on Dec. 20 of bird and chicken deaths due to the H5N1 virus.

This is the first reported human death due to the bird flu virus in China in 18 months. In June 2010 in Hubei Province, a pregnant woman died from the virus, according to reports.

RAPID RISK ASSESSMENT


Human fatality from highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection in Guangdong province, China


4 January 2012



Main conclusions and recommendations

China has reported a single case of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection in Guangdong province.

This case is not part of a cluster.

The initial sequence analysis of the virus genome indicates that the virus is genetically closely related to influenza A(H5N1) viruses recently detected in wild birds in Hong Kong, and therefore it is more likely that the infection is of avian than human origin.

This new human case is not unexpected. In countries where avian influenza A(H5N1) virus is entrenched in bird populations and affecting poultry, sporadic infections are likely to continue to occur among exposed humans, occasionally resulting in small clusters of human cases.

The report of a single fatal human case in Guangdong province, China, does not change the current assessment of risk to human health in the EU or globally from wild-type A(H5N1). The risk is considered to be very low in EU/EEA countries. However, vigilance for avian influenza A(H5N1) and other animal influenza viruses in domestic and wild animals in Europe remains important.



Public health issue

A human fatality due to highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection in Guangdong province, China and whether this case is indicative of increased human-to-human transmission of wild-type A(H5N1) viruses.



Source of assessment request

Request from the European Commission, Directorate-General for Health and Consumers received on 3 January 2012.



Disease and other relevant background information

Please refer to the previous publications:

• Rapid Risk Assessment: Potential resurgence of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza, September 2011, available from http://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications/Publications/1109_TER_risk_assessment_H5N1_bird_flu_resurgence.pdf [1]
• ECDC Review: (Yet) another human A/H5N1 influenza case and cluster ? when should Europe be concerned? Eurosurveillance 2008; Volume 13, Issue 15, 10 April 2008 http://www.eurosurveillance.org/ViewArticle.aspx?ArticleId=18833 [2]

Event background information

The Chinese health authorities have reported one fatality following infection with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) virus.

The case is a 39-year-old male bus driver who lived and worked in the city of Shenzhen in southern China?s Guangdong province, immediately north of Hong Kong SAR. He developed symptoms on 21 December 2011, was admitted to the hospital four days later and died of multiple organ failure on 31 December [4,5]. He reportedly had no relevant travel history, nor known close contact with poultry or wild birds, environmental exposure or contact with infected persons prior to onset of symptoms.

The gene sequencing analysis has revealed that the influenza A(H5) virus detected in this case belongs to clade 2.3.2.1 and is very similar to those viruses from the wild birds recently detected in Hong Kong (A/Guangdong-Shenzhen/1/2011HA gene segment accession nr. EPI347304 and personal communication).

No avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection outbreak in animals was reported in Guangdong province in 2011. In neighbouring Hong Kong SAR, where surveillance for A(H5N1) viruses is especially intense, one dead chicken and two dead wild birds were diagnosed with A(H5N1) virus infections in December 2011 [6].

This case is the first human case of HPAI A(H5N1) virus infection reported in China in 2011. Since 2003, China has reported 40 confirmed human cases resulting in 26 fatalities [7].



ECDC threat assessment for the EU

This case of HPAI A(H5N1) virus infection reported in China does not indicate a change in the risk for human-to-human transmission for the following reasons:

• It is a single isolated case, not part of a cluster.
• It occurred in a country where avian influenza is entrenched.
• No contact with sick patients has been reported.
• The identified clade suggests transmission from birds.

Conclusions

This new human case is not unexpected. In countries where avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses are entrenched in wild bird populations and are occasionally transmitted to domestic poultry, sporadic infections and even small clusters will probably continue to occur among humans who have contact with infected poultry or wild birds.

Human-to-human transmission cannot be completely ruled out even in this case but there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission here or elsewhere.

The recent report of a single human case of a wild-type influenza A(H5N1) virus infection in Shenzhen city, Guandong province, China, does not change the current assessment of the risk to human health in the EU or globally. The risk is considered to be very low in EU/EEA countries.

However, vigilance for avian influenza A(H5N1) in domestic poultry and wild birds and other animal influenza in Europe and elsewhere remains important.

Spread of avian influenza culprit: famous birds or poultry

Things are not so terrible." When "China Science News" correspondent on 6 January by researchers with the Institute of Microbiology, Shenzhen about drivers who report a case of bird flu, researchers say it is dull.
In their eyes, every year people were killed in bird flu, no fuss, not to mention large-scale outbreaks.
However, as Shenzhen drivers are actually infected poultry or infected by migratory birds, may be a never shrouded in mystery.

Transmission of avian influenza is very strange. According to the associate researcher Liu Di Jieshao, outbreaks of avian flu since 2005, the Institute of Microbiology Chinese Academy of Sciences of the high-Fu group and the Northwest Plateau Institute of Biology Li Hing group, has begun to track migratory birds traces of bird flu has not stopped.

This is Shenzhen, the first case of human infection with bird flu deaths. Mr. Chen illness did not come into contact with poultry, but the habit of exercising to the seaside Wetland Park. 　　CDC deputy director of Shenzhen City, the Mahan Wu said, epidemiological investigation, before the death of the patients with disease within one month without a clear history of poultry exposure, no history of going out. In this case of human infection with highly pathogenic avian influenza does not matter, and some time ago the bird flu occurred in Hong Kong before the onset of symptoms within one month without an exit. 　　"According to his wife, the one people usually do not like to eat birds," He Jianfeng, director of the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Epidemiology Institute, said the survey found that the onset of symptoms until the morning exercise habits, and often to the beach Wetland exercise So do not rule out that there will come into contact with sick birds.
