Shenzhen CDC says BF victim had the "2.3.2.1." strain #H5N1 #birdflu

Because he had the 2.3.2.1. strain, the new one we were told about a few months ago, there is no risk of a further outbreak..because this strain has not mutated to include human receptor cells in it's makeup..yet.. but it has a mutation
So it's all good..


Shenzhen CDC to determine the strain of the human-human transmission of avian influenza is not

Shenzhen News on January 1 (Reporter correspondent Tao Jing Xin Nan Wu nanhu) a night, the reporter learned from the Shenzhen Municipal Center for Disease Control, CDC and the Hong Kong Centre for Health Protection expert to sacrifice holiday vacation, work hard for 72 hours on 2011 December 31 confirmed infected with H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus genome sequence determination and bioinformatic analysis, genetic characteristics of virus experts from the analysis,
the patients infected with highly pathogenic viruses than before avian influenza virus has undergone some mutations, but its receptor remains to poultry receptors, still can not spread from person to person, the general public no cause for alarm.

。

CDC experts found that the patients infected with the virus is 2.3.2.1 sublines highly pathogenic avian influenza virus to humans is highly pathogenic.
Through phylogenetic analysis revealed that the strain and domestic ducks in bird flu virus isolated from a high homology (90%), are the source of H5N1 virus in poultry, indicating that the strain of infection directly from infected poultry to humans of. Prior to the popular southern mainland China 2005-2006 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus mainly 2.3.4 lineage.
It is understood that in order to guide rational clinical use of drugs, Shenzhen CDC experts resistance to the virus were analyzed, the results show that virus is adamantane class of drugs are more sensitive (including rimantadine, amantadine song, King Kong bromide, memantine, etc.), but resistance to Tamiflu, the role of drugs still under study.
