At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture working group of major animal diseases will be carried out inspectors to the scene.
From the poultry of highly pathogenic avian influenza prevention and control perspective, the two weak links exist at present, respectively, are water birds and live poultry market. Ministry of Agriculture said that the live poultry market, especially the free-market style of live poultry markets, regulation very difficult. This year, the Ministry of Agriculture will be at medium-sized cities as far as possible, turn off live birds market in order to reduce the people and poultry live birds carrying the virus, as well as contact with them.
■ production of vaccines in the vaccine enterprise 20,000,000
March 5, at the government work report after the release, Health Minister Chen Zhu told reporters with certainty, if we encounter the same public health like SARS case will not be confused.
February 11, the State Food and Drug Administration press spokesman Yan江瑛said that in view of the current avian influenza prevention and control of the situation, the State Food and Drug Administration officially launched on pandemic influenza vaccine (commonly known as: Human bird flu vaccine) synchronization procedures , allowed mass production of vaccines. Meanwhile, the Drug Administration Department to begin vaccine production conducted spot checks.
Beijing Kexing Biological Products Co., Ltd. has officially launched the Human bird flu vaccine production, our country became the world's few master the technology.
Department from the enterprise reporter learned that people made bird flu vaccine production capacity could reach 20 million.
■ Chinese disease control to increase 21 National Laboratory
Virus disease by the Chinese CDC deputy director, director of the Center for National Influenza舒跃龙said that our country already has covered 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, 63 Detect network and network laboratories in 2009 will increase 21 laboratories, to strengthen the National Human bird flu laboratory testing capacity, human bird flu lay the foundation for timely treatment.
After the completion of each laboratory is not only a separation of detection of influenza viruses have the ability, but also have the ability to detect avian influenza virus.
Virus disease by the Chinese CDC, National Influenza Center, will conduct an annual technical training network of laboratories to provide detection of various laboratory reagents; and organize experts to laboratory supervisors and blind-like assessment, to discuss and improve the problem.

From a few years ago, outbreaks of avian influenza, the turkey most likely infected with avian influenza virus, and birds are the least susceptible to the virus.
However, in recent years occurred in the virus mutates in waterfowl ducks and geese infected with a virus, also show a healthy state, detection is not out, at the same time, the state of existing vaccines only for laying hens and other poultry, waterfowl immune low level antibody level is not high, which now exist are a hard nut to crack.
Ministry of Agriculture had been below, require the existence of live poultry trading market place to guide the operation of live birds within the waterfowl and other poultry district operating.
The story behind the 10,000 eggs in hair to produce vaccines
Human bird flu vaccine is developed? Reporter interviewed the relevant research institutions.
Beijing Kexing Biological Products Co., Ltd. General Manager YIN Wei-dong, the emergence of people from Vietnam bird flu deaths to the study of China's ratification of the vaccine in just about two months.
For a race against time, group directly from the World Health Organization Influenza Center, the introduction of the virus laboratory species.
If the traditional influenza vaccine production process, the virus directly inoculated on chick embryo (from egg hatching after 10 days from, commonly known as "hair of eggs") in culture, chick embryo would cause immediate death, the inability to carry out further studies. At the efforts of researchers, finally break through this problem.
May 2004, the virus began to implant the first batch of 10,000 on the chick embryo in culture, each one in detail by the researchers according to Frederick, cleaning, disinfection peeled, inoculated virus, 34 ℃ cultivate, harvest, inactivated.
Researchers at 10000 on chicken embryo on up ten thousand times repeated the same action, in cost tens of thousands of chicken embryos after in November 2005, people in human avian influenza vaccine to complete the full pre-clinical research.
November 10, 2005, China emerged the first person infected with avian influenza virus death. Twelve days later, the State Food and Drug Administration approval of Human bird flu vaccine for clinical research stage. After two years, a total of almost 600 volunteers from Beijing to participate in clinical research.
Eventually, the vaccine proved safe and effective! Human bird flu vaccine as the ultimate finished product, each vial to determine a usage, dosage of 0.5ml.
Dialogue Beijing Kexing Biological Products Co., Ltd. General Manager YIN Wei-dong
Has been prepared for the virus mutates
Reporter: vaccine production cycle, how long?
YIN Wei-dong: Preparation of strains from the beginning to the vaccine production, as well as the finished product certification, required 6-month production cycle. In the present strain does not mutate, the production cycle are also required around 3 months.
Reporter: From the beginning found the first case, to the first wave of a pandemic outbreak around How long will it take?
YIN Wei-dong: no more than two months. Can be used in the vaccine before the first wave of a pandemic outbreak has been sufficient to give the socio-economic and order caused considerable harm and impact. We must reserve in advance a certain amount of vaccine.
Reporter: vaccine reserves, our production capacity?
YIN Wei-dong: At present, the United States has reserves of more than 100 million vaccine; Japan has reserves of 20 million. Before the Spring Festival, China's Human bird flu vaccine production process was formally initiated.
We now have the annual capacity of 20 million people of bird flu vaccine production capacity.

If the World Health Organization confirmed that avian influenza or pandemic influenza virus strain mutates group will immediately apply strain to change in order to recommend and provide the WHO, the National Drug Administration approval of the department to replace the current strain of the virus vaccine strain, rapid a new vaccine production and put into use.
Technically speaking, the virus mutates in order to solve the problem of Human bird flu vaccine research and development are used in the prototype vaccine R & D route.
The so-called prototype pandemic influenza vaccines, are means of pandemic influenza viruses of the characteristics of prediction and simulation, the design of vaccines.
When the virus mutates, you can have sophisticated in accordance with the technical and technological route, the rapid adoption of a new mutant for vaccine production.
At the same time, once the virus mutates, WHO Task Force will soon give new strains, the original cycle is 45 days, and now may be reduced even more short.
