Globe and Mail news: Hong Kong over the past two years, picked up by the increase in the number of dead bird with H5N1 avian influenza virus. Microbiologist Yuen Kwok-yung warned that Hong Kong's avian flu vaccine, catch the virus variants, has outlived its usefulness, this winter is expected high incidence of avian flu, "Usually the disease in the winter, but recently in July is still Bird Street found that case, all kinds of clues to tell you, this is the high incidence of "He urged the public do not touch the dead bird, the Government should also step up surveillance and public education.
Sing Tao Daily reported that refers to the Department of Microbiology, University of Hong Kong Chair Professor Yuen Kwok-yung, the H5N2 avian influenza vaccine currently in use in Hong Kong has been lagging behind the gene variant, "Hong Kong's most popular avian influenza gene is 2.3.2.1, but our livestock used in avian influenza vaccine called H5N2, even zero (effect) not as good as anything other than H5N1, in fact, has been a total failure. "he said, the current vaccine system in southern China in Harbin, the gene group is 2.3.4, the effect also started to decline, "In fact, it is not surprising, because of seasonal flu every few years will take a turn."
