The H5N1/H1N1 Combo mix warning thread

Re: The H5N1/H1N1 Combo mix warning thread

Influenza A/H5N1 active chemical processing
(24h) - Avian influenza outbreaks increasingly more powerful and danger-risk than previous epidemic.
Recently, scientists have discovered is the exchange and integration between the influenza A/H5N1 virus circulating in Vietnam, creating too fast evolution of this virus and are of highly pathogenic strains.

Number of H5N1 infections in three months by the year 2009

According to latest report of the Department of Preventive Health and Environment (Ministry of Health), from early 2010 until now, the country recorded five cases positive for influenza A/H5N1 in humans, two cases of death.

Looking back at the 2009, Vietnam recorded five ca influenza A/H5N1 infection and this is ca 5 mortality, mortality was 100%, higher than double the previous year.

So only 3 months in early 2010, the number of people infected with both influenza A/H5N1 was in 2009, the number of deaths is approximately ? in 2009.

Dr Le Quynh Mai - Virus Dean, Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology PRIVATE said that recently, scientists have discovered is the exchange and integration between the influenza A/H5N1 virus circulating in Vietnam, creating a too fast evolution of this virus and are of highly pathogenic strains. Experts have discovered a number of changes of antigen reduces the sensitivity of influenza treatment.

Before this situation, again, the question about the possibility of a mixture of two types of influenza A/H1N1 and influenza A/H5N1 virus became hot issues.

In the past month, the monitoring system of key influenza, cases of influenza A/H1N1 syndrome has decreased, only about 18% of samples tested positive for H1N1 in the previous figure would be 80 -- 100%.

However, Masters Nguyen Hong Ha, Deputy Director of the Hospital for Tropical Investment has estimated that the H5N1 virus from a few years now has always existed in the environment, even the poultry do not die but can still carry the virus. H1N1 virus was reduced but still exists, so, when H5N1 becomes strong, the risk is still recombinant. "Influenza Virus no stability genetically. It has the ability of recombinant, sort and suddenly very high.

Virus H1N1 short-lived but spread quickly from person to person. Virus H5N1gay high mortality but low ability to spread. If the combination, most likely will create a new virus more dangerous, just a quick spread of H1N1 from person to person, just high risk of death by H5N1.

Translate only discovered when someone infected?

H5N1 virus in poultry exist then spread to humans. Review 5 ca influenza A/H5N1 infection in Vietnam since early this year, see:

After investigating the residence of patients in Soc Son (Hanoi), dinner 15 thirds, Sub-Department of Animal Health, Hanoi said, there are 60 test serum samples and throat service virtually negative for bird flu virus A/H5N1, still have not found the source of infection of patients.

Patients with H5N1 infection in Binh Dinh (now died), the new functional bodies of local spread the disease to determine the source.

Now patients in Khanh Hoa, patients have no family who are ill, not sick poultry / death. But nearly a month before starting disease patients, ostrich farm (the patient's home near 1 km) with ostrich phenomenon unexplained death.

Families of patients in Tuyen Quang, the chickens are sick phenomenon / death but without a cause.

Patients die in Tien Giang is a slaughtering and processing aquatic birds before the disease but the area also has been warned there is disease.

So, clearly, the collaboration between the Medical and Veterinary not close, most cases of influenza detected in humans before then epidemiological investigation and detection of influenza in poultry.

Can he talk with Van Binh, Deputy Director Chi Chi Department of Animal Health, Hanoi, he concedes prevention poultry weak. The cause is due out depends very much on the raising awareness: People do not bring birds to vaccination, we also bear!

In addition, sub-department staff are difficult to control the number of all poultry consumed each day in Hanoi as the number of restrictions, lack of synchronization between local authorities and the market management.

Bad influenza A/H5N1 back also occurs in many countries around the world, not separate Vietnam. Recently, WHO also for the Ministry of Health in Egypt has recorded five cases of influenza A/H5N1, which has a severe case, there is no death.

Thus, from the beginning of the year, Vietnam is the only national recognition of deaths due to this virus. This trend, along with Indonesia, Vietnam is one of the two countries with many cases of death due to H5N1 virus one. :tiphat:http://us.24h.com.vn/tin-tuc-su-kien...46a284985.html

Vietnamese girl died of H5N1 bird flu
1 year-old girl to become Vietnam's second case this year because of the deadly H5N1 bird flu death.

The girl from the southern province of Binh Duong province of Vietnam, living in the vicinity of an illegal poultry slaughterhouse.

Since 2003, Vietnam a total of 58 people died of H5N1 avian influenza. Global died of bird flu in the country with the largest number of people in Indonesia, a total of 135 people died of bird flu.

Although the chances of transmission of H5N1 avian moving quite low, but experts say the virus from person to person transmission is still possible, especially if the current epidemic of H1N1 influenza A viruses mixed kinds of words.:tiphat:http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/chinese/articles/s2850053.htm

A monster virus tested in Lyon
Posted on 18/03/2010 at 17:38
The P4 maximum security laboratory, has made headlines this morning's progress. At issue: the experiments undertaken by the virologists who worked for three weeks on a cross between the virus H1N1 (swine flu) and H5N1 (bird flu). The first is highly contagious but not deadly, while the second is often fatal but spreads little. The experience was especially designed to anticipate a possible mutation of the two viruses but not create (yet) a vaccine. The virologist Bruno Lina, interviewed by the newspaper said however that the probability of the existence of such viruses are fairly low.:tiphat:http://www.lyoncapitale.fr/lyoncapitale/journal/Autre-contenu/Breves/Un-monstre-viral-teste-a-Lyon

Combination avian and swine: three regions of Senegal set


A new virus of swine origin may soon threaten the populations of the regions of Dakar, and Ziguinchor Fatick who eat pork, "said the regional inspector of the veterinary service of Fatick of FMR. According to Dr. Pala cisse, recombination of H5N1 and H1N1 could lead to complications in those areas prone to such epidemics. "As part of the recombinant virus, the animal (note: the pig) is the subject of attention in very specific areas of the delta.

The Livestock Services conduct epidemiological surveillance to detect any sign of threat of introduction of the virus, "said Dr. Cisse. The risk of contamination because of its high importance of pig farms in these areas. The proximity of poultry and pigs can harm human health, according to animal medicine specialist. For this reason both national prevention and fight against avian influenza has been established to prevent the introduction of foreign poultry. The control has been reinforced at the borders, he said.

وزارتا الصحة والزراعة تقللان من أهمية تقرير وحدة البحوث الأمريكية نامرو 3.. Ministries of Health and Agriculture to dilute the importance of the report of the Research Unit U.S. NAMRU-3 .. وتؤكدان أن فيروس أنفلونزا الطيور دائم التحور And confirm that the bird flu virus constantly mutating
الإثنين، 10 مايو 2010 - 08:31 Monday, May 10, 2010 - 08:31


الدكتور حاتم الجبلى وزير الصحة

Dr. Hatem the Minister of Health
كتبت أميرة عبد السلام وسيد محفوظ Written by Amira Abdel-Salam, Sayed Mahfouz


جدد التقرير الذى أعلنته معامل وحدة البحوث الأمريكية نامرو 3 التابعة للبحرية الأمريكية عن اكتشاف تسلسلات فيروسية فى حالات مصابة بأنفلونزا الطيور "h5n1 " تتشابه مع صفات فيروس الأنفلونزا الموسمية التى تنتقل بين البشر، المخاوف من انتشار الفيروس. New report made public by the laboratories of the Research Unit, U.S. NAMRU-3 of the U.S. Navy detected viral sequences in cases of bird flu, "h5n1" similar to the characteristics of seasonal influenza virus transmitted between humans, fears of the spread of the virus.

وحذر الدكتور محمد سيف أستاذ الطب البيطرى بجامعة بنى سويف خطورة اندماج فيروس أنفلونزا الطيور بالأنفلونزا الموسمية، الأمر الذى قد ينتج عنه سلالة جديدة من الأنفلونزا، مشيرا إلى أن الخطر الكبر يأتى من الأنفلونزا الموسمية التى تقتل ما يزيد على 500 ألف شخص فى العالم وأضاف سيف أن الأنفلونزا الموسمية أكثر أنواع الأنفلونزا إصابة وقتلا للبشر، فيما تعتبر أنفلونزا الطيور أسرع الأنواع قتلا للإنسان. He warned against Mohammed Saif, a veterinary professor at the University of Beni Suef the seriousness of the integration of the avian influenza virus seasonal influenza, which could result in a new strain of influenza, pointing out that the most dangerous accelerant "comes from the seasonal flu, which kills more than 500 thousand people in the world and added sword seasonal influenza the most common types of influenza infection and killing of human beings, while bird flu is the fastest species killing of human beings.

وأوضح سيف أن هناك تزاوجا قد حدث بين فيروسى أنفلونزا الخنازير h1n1 والأنفلونزا الموسمية، لكنه لم يحدث خطورة لكن الخطورة الأشد فستكون فى حال تزاوج أنفلونزا الطيور مع الأنفلونزا الموسمية وهو ما لم يحدث حتى الآن. The sword that there has been a significant overlap between the viral flu h1n1 influenza, seasonal flu, but it did not happen, but the gravity would be the most dangerous in the event of avian mating with seasonal influenza, which has not happened yet.

وقد قللت وزارتا الزراعة و الصحة من أهمية تقرير معامل وحدة البحوث الأمريكية، حيث أكدت هيئة الخدمات البيطرية التابعة لوزارة الزراعة واستصلاح الأراضى أن التغيرات التى تحدث لفيروس أنفلونزا الطيور سواء للطيور أو الإنسان دائمة الحدوث فهو فيروس دائم التحور حسبما أكد الدكتور صابر عبد العزيز مدير عام الإدارة العامة للأوبئة والدواجن. Has reduced the ministries of agriculture and health significance of the laboratories and research unit of America, asserted that the Veterinary Services of the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation that the changes that occur the avian influenza virus, whether of birds or of human permanent occurrence is a virus, constantly mutating, according to Dr. Saber Abdel Aziz, general manager of of the epidemics in poultry.

وأضاف عبد العزيز، التحورات التى حدثت فى الفيروس أدت إلى انخفاض نسبة الوفيات إلى 10% فقط، مشيرا إلى أن التحورات فى معزولات أنفلونزا الطيور عادية ولا تعنى تحور الفيروس إلى فيروس آدمى. And Abdel-Aziz, mutations that have occurred in the virus led to reduced mortality to 10% only, indicating that the mutations in the isolated avian normal and does not mean the virus will mutate into a virus a human being.

فيما أكدت وزارة الصحة أن فيروس الأنفلونزا هو أحد الفيروسات دائمة التحور ودائما ما تنشط تغيراته الجينية من وقت لآخر وقد سبق وأن سجل فيروس العديد من التغيرات الجينية مما أكسبه تغيرات فى نشاطه. The Ministry of Health confirmed that the influenza virus is a virus mutation permanent and always active genetic variability from time to time have already been registered HIV many genetic changes, which earned him the changes in the activity.

وأضافت الوزارة فى بيان لها أن اكتشاف معامل وحدة البحوث الأمريكية نامرو3، التابعة للبحرية الأمريكية فى مصر تسلسلات فيروسية فى حالات مصابة بأنفلونزا الطيور (H5N1) تتشابه مع صفات فيروس الأنفلونزا الموسمية التى تنتقل بين البشر، أنها اكتشافات قديمة ترجع إلى أواخر العالم الماضى وقد تم الإعلان عنها بالتعاون مع وزارة الصحة والتى تم تسجيلها على حالات مصابة بكل من فيروس أنفلونزا الطيور والخنازير. The ministry said in a statement the discovery of the laboratories of the Research Unit, U.S. NAMRU-3, of the U.S. Navy in Egypt sequences of viral cases of bird flu (H5N1) similar to the characteristics of seasonal influenza transmitted between humans, it finds an old back to the late the past year has been declared out in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, which was recorded on all the infected cases of bird flu and swine.

وقد توصلت وحدة نامرو 3 إلى التسلسلات الفرعية HA وNA فى الحالات التى فحصتها فى مصر، ووجدت أنها تضمنت إحدى المواصفات الموجودة بفيروس الأنفلونزا الموسمية التى تنتقل بين البشر، مما يشير إلى أن هذه الصفة بدأت تصبح ثابتة فى الفيروس الموجود فى مصر. Have reached NAMRU-3 to sub-sequences HA and NA in the cases examined in Egypt, and found that it included one of the specifications of existing seasonal influenza virus and transmitted between humans, which indicates that this capacity is becoming a constant in the virus in Egypt.
وكانت دراسة قد أجريت فى وقت سابق أوضحت وجود تشابهات بين فيروس H5N1 والأنفلونزا الموسمية H1N1 مما أدى إلى تزايد المخاوف بشأن انتقال الفيروس بين البشر، خاصة تلك الحالات التى احتوت على إحدى الصفات الجينية التى وجدت بالحالات التى تم فحصها. The study had been conducted earlier indicated the existence of similarities between the H5N1 and seasonal influenza H1N1, which has led to growing concerns about the transmission of the virus among humans, especially those cases that contained one of the genetic traits which were found in cases that have been examined.

يذكر أن وحدة نامرو 3 تعمل مع وزارة الصحة المصرية فى تحليل العينات المشتبه فى إصابتها بفيروسات الأنفلونزا الحالية. The NAMRU-3 is working with the Egyptian Ministry of Health in the analysis of samples suspected of being infected with influenza viruses present.

Influenza A H1N1 in Japan found that influenza virus H5N1 and the easy to cross
August 5, 2010 21:33:54 Source: Xinhua 【font size】 【Message】 【Print】 【Close】



Xinhua tokyo Aug. 5 (Xinhua blue construction) Institute of Medicine, Tokyo University professor Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the research team led by 5, in the United States "Virology" online edition published a thesis, H5N1 avian influenza virus are easy and Influenza H1N1 influenza virus hybrid features, although the H5N1 strain of bird flu virus does not easily infect humans, but influenza A H1N1 influenza virus with the hybrid, the more likely the birth of a new infectious virus.

Some experts think that influenza A H1N1 influenza virus from pigs, birds and human virus gene hybridization mixture formed in pigs. Study Group for H5N1 avian influenza virus and influenza A H1N1 influenza virus are also infected dog cells, and then analyzed the proliferation of the virus genes. It was found that the virus collected from 59, there are 50 viruses genetic hybrid.

Since then, the research team focuses on the influenza A H1N1 influenza virus play an important role on the proliferation of the PB1, PB2, PA, NP of four genes, these genes into H5N1 avian flu virus and replace the latter four genes, to produce 16 kinds of hybrid viruses. The results found that the hybrid virus in infected human lung cells, have emerged proliferation, and proliferation became more powerful, in theory, this feature means that the virus more transmissible.

On the other hand, if the H5N1 strain of bird flu virus and influenza A H3N2 influenza virus combinations, for the same experiment will not produce the proliferation of hybrid or hybrid force after the virus is not strong.Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the view, indicating that, compared with influenza A H3N2 influenza virus, H1N1 avian flu virus and H5N1 virus gene easily cross.

The participants were also pointed out that, due to influenza A H1N1 influenza virus itself may be formed in the hybrid pigs, so it and the H5N1 strain of bird flu virus in pigs may also cross into the proliferation of more new virus, to early detection of this possible of the new situation, the need to strengthen monitoring of pig vaccination.

And the new H5 influenza virus easily crosses '10 / 8 / 5

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

There are also bird flu virus in dead birds and people infected with the Asian (H5N1) and pandemic influenza virus (H1N1), the results can be easily and has the ability to cross the high growth, They are professors and the graduate's Casio Okutabiani Yoshihiro Kawaoka Yoshihiro Waka kept the Tokyo Institute of Medical Science, announced today the online edition of U.S. magazine.

The new pig or bird viruses, and viruses from mixed human genes are believed to have crossed in pigs. Professor Kawaoka "H5N1 is new and crossed, the virus may appear highly susceptible to human pathogens. It is important to strengthen surveillance of the pig," he said.

Prof. Kawaoka of the eight viral gene that plays a key role in proliferation PB1, PB2, PA, NP's focus on four. H5N1 genes assumes that you replaced the four new gene made the virus crosses the street 16.

The proliferation of both the virus and infect cells were crossed, there were those that were strong and growth. However, H5N1 and seasonal influenza A Hong Kong (H3N2) and similar experiments in combination, the virus was also strong growth ability or do not cross. Prof. Kawaoka Therefore, the new model from H3N2, H5N1, and concluded with the gene are prone to cross. :tiphat:http://www.chugoku-np.co.jp/News/Sp201008050143.html

Dr Sami Taha, a member of the Board of Veterinary Association, that the Ministry of Health lacks the mechanisms and techniques for the detection and discrimination of pork and livers if they are mixed with meat, cows, livers imported, especially after the cessation of the work of laboratories of the Institute of Animal Health Research to examine the meat under the letter issued by the Authority of Veterinary Medicine to the General Authority for the control of exports and imports.

Taha said that Egypt is a candidate in the coming period for the settlement of bird flu patients and pigs, especially after the high intensity of infection and death among people in different provinces, and expressed my fears of viral mating birds, pigs, and the emergence of strains are more dangerous to human life and animals.

And Taha in a statement to the "seventh day" and a large amount of pigs district facility Nasser after he fell combing operations in search of them because of confrontations between police, educators, pointing out that he was smuggling large numbers of them to the different provinces, demonstrating that there are Hnazer dead in the provinces
