New Study Says Avian Influenza Virus Has Mutated

Wednesday, 5 September 2007
Yogyakarta (Suara Karya) : Although human to human contagion has not arrived, Avian Influenza virus definitely had mutated to make the virus more easily adaptable with the human body. Team Captain of National Bird Flu Handling Regional Commission Jateng/DIY, drh Prof Charles Rangga Tabbu MSc PhD, Tuesday ( 4/9), formulated a careful examination of the product that experienced an arrangement change present in the virus' amino acid. This change makes the virus more easily adaptable to humans. It gives an example, bird flu virus that is in finch birds, at the dissociation protein site becomes two subunits, experienced amino acid that is able to adapt to human breathing channels. According to Professor Charles who is also Dean of the Physician Faculty of Domestic Animals UGM, this change happened on viruses that were taken from chickens and ducks. Same matter changed in careful isolation in Institute Pertanian Bogor (IPB), Universitas Udayana, and some universitas that have domestic animal faculty physicians.

"This has mutated," he said.

He firmly protested that the so-called bird flu virus has spread human to human. According to him, the Karo, Sumat case was not human to human contagion Karo, except that they were properly infected from a common source.

"The only last power different from the human body, finally illness also changed," said Charles. Virus change was also anticipated to be H5N1, because it has ceased attack on bird type, but also on other domestic animals, like pigs. Nevertheless this question needs further perusal. "This problem certainly needs epidemiological study that affect all areas, particularly domestical animal physican areas and human areas," he said.

Re: New Study Says Avian Influenza Virus Has Mutated

finch birds = ?
dissociation protein site = ? (cleavage?)

> this change happened on viruses that were taken from chickens and ducks
> more easily adaptable with the human body

then, why should it happen in chickens ? Except the chickens got it from mammals.

> not human to human contagion Karo, except that they were properly infected from a common source

how does he know ? Did he identify that common source ?

> it has ceased attack on bird type, but also on other domestic animals, like pigs

but they still find it in bird, see above

> certainly needs epidemiological study

he should release the sequences to achieve this.

Anyone who doesn't believe the Karo cluster was H2H2H is in la la land.
