result is a few days
2011-12-21 HKT 10:12
HKU Department of Microbiology Professor Yuen Kwok-yung said, still on the experience of the H5N1 avian influenza virus for gene sequencing, the outcome of a few days, then can determine if the virus variants. He stressed that the risk of avian influenza outbreak to improve, but not very serious, and the public need not panic too much.
Yuen Kwok-yung said the next one to two weeks is a critical period, because the bird flu virus incubation period of about a week, during this period will have to pay attention to further infection. He added that the chickens in the wholesale market, the general store a short time, so this infected dead chickens, the farm has been a great opportunity for infection.
As has been earlier found to have avian influenza H5N1 in migratory birds, is most important is that the authorities must step up inspection of local farms bio-security measures, really good.
Yuen Kwok-yung said that two years ago, I know that migratory birds in southern China virus strains, gene sequencing has changed, the government has in some local farms, try the new vaccine.
