TEMPO Interactive , Surabaya - Molecular Biologist from Airlangga University Surabaya, Prof. Dr. drh Chairul Anwar Nidom, reminds to all travelers to be alert to outbreaks of new viruses or infectious zoonosis transmitted from animals to humans, a new type.
Zoonotic viruses are very ? new form when there is a process germ interactions that occur during Lebaran homecoming.
"People going home to Surabaya Maluku malaria it is prone to bring the virus from Java to the Moluccas, even though these two regions have different types of malaria," said Nidom on the sidelines of the preparatory transfer of avian influenza vaccine candidates to the Minister, Agung Laksono at the Hospital of Tropical Infectious Diseases (RSPTI ) Airlangga University, Sunday, August 21, 2011 afternoon.
[Drug resistant microbes] will certainly make the [germ] more varied with more complex genetic makeup. "Consequently the virus is resistant to drugs, malaria for example, currently it is not working with quinine," he said.
Therefore, Nidom expect travelers to avoid kissing the hand, unless it has first washing with disinfectant soap. Not only that, kiss the lips is also expected to be avoided during Lebaran. Nidom who also served as Head of the Laboratory of Avian Influenza Research Centre, Airlangga University, said vaccines for zoonotic until today continue to be developed.
Moreover resistant germ is now very worrying [reality] and make a lot of new, more complicated viruses. "We ourselves are currently being developed malaria, as well as ebola, tuberculosis, anthrax, rabies, and DB," said Nidom.
