Wave of influenza will appear after the end of the pilgrimage
Written Engy Magdy


According to the Associated Press that the health authorities in the world live in a state of alert and concern of the swine flu outbreak during the stoning paid by millions of Muslims who flock while performing Hajj.

The agency said that 3 million Muslims go to Hajj every year, the largest annual gathering, which makes it an ideal incubator for the spread of swine influenza virus has been detected 60 cases of (bird flu )these first two words are not part of the arabic wording) so far, but health officials warn that the real impact will only be known after the return of pilgrims to their countries in all parts of the world.

The report, published in The Washington Post, that Saudi officials had been prepared together with the United States and global health experts to try to limit the spread of the disease, but they also took advantage of it to build a database, to see the mutations and the search for lessons to control the disease in other major groups , such as the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

The agency noted that the process performed by stoning of pilgrims during the days Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with crowds gathering during the pilgrimage season, represents the culmination of traffic and communication between people very closely, especially as the majority do not wear masks, where this afternoon during the previous days and many sneeze and cough and seemed very tired.

no need to "build" a database.
We have genbank.

Re: Saudi, Builds a database, to see the mutations and search for lessons

...Saudi officials had been prepared together with the United States and global health experts to try to limit the spread of the disease, but they also took advantage of it to build a database, to see the mutations and the search for lessons to control the disease in other major groups ...
My interpretation of this statement is that Saudi officials contributed to the database, i.e., they donated sequences to GenBank so nations could work togeather to look for mutations and lessons.
