Surprisingly the Minister of Agriculture Amin Abaza, that the bird flu virus has mutated, and consequently led to a reduction in the effectiveness of vaccines imported and used in immunization, pointing out that many of the communication world of veterinary laboratories for the production of vaccine-type strains of the new in Egypt.

وأعلن الوزير أيضاً أن صندوق تعويضات أنفلونزا الطيور سيتم تمويله من وزارة المالية، وأنه لن يتم تعديل قانون التعويضات الذى تم إقراره ضمن قانون تداول الطيور الحية، وذلك حتى لا يتم الطعن عليه دستوريا، لافتا إلى أنه سيتم رفع رسوم تراخيص المزارع وسيكون تجديد هذه التراخيص كل عام، بدلا من 3 سنوات.

The Minister also announced that the Compensation Fund for bird flu will be funded from the Ministry of Finance, and that it will not be amending the law of compensation which has been approved within the law of the circulation of live birds, so it is not a constitutional challenge, he will raise the license fees will be the renewal of the farms and all such licenses year, instead of 3 years.

واعترف وزير الزراعة أن سياسة تحصين الطيور المنزلية التى اتبعت فى الفترة الماضية، أثبتت عدم جدواها، وبالتالى تم تعديلها ليتم التحصين فى أماكن البؤر ومن حولها فقط.

The Agriculture Minister acknowledged that the policy of vaccination of domestic birds, which was done in the past, have proved ineffective and was therefore modified to be fortified outposts in and around the premises only.

A new pandemic influenza in the human world may originate from avian reservoirs. Influenza is one of the most widely spread zoonotic infectious diseases. All avian influenza viruses are type A, and they have often caused pandemics throughout human history. The highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza A viruses have now been spreading to many countries in Asia, Europe and Africa. They have infected an increasing number of humans in at least 15 countries in the world. This paper describes recent advances in the mechanism of transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza to humans and measures for control of a new pandemic.

Medline Abstract: Optimal control strategy for prevention of avian influenza pandemic.

Department of Mathematics, Konkuk University, Korea.

The spread of H5N1 virus to Europe and continued human infection in Southeast Asia have heightened pandemic concern. Although, fortunately, sustained human-to-human transmissions have not been reported yet, it is said that a pandemic virus which can be easily transmitted among humans certainly emerges in the future. In this study, we extended the previous studies for the prevention of the pandemic influenza to evaluate the timedependent optimal prevention policies, which are associated with elimination policy and quarantine policy, considering its execution cost. Actually, the execution cost affects the optimal strategy of prevention policies and the prevention of the disease spread. We found that the quarantine policy is very important rather than the elimination policy during the disease spread, even if the unit execution cost of the quarantine policy is more expensive than that of the elimination policy. And also, the change of the unit execution cost does affect the total cumulative cost of the optimal prevention policies but does not affect the relative frequency of each cumulative execution cost. Furthermore, interestingly, we revealed that an optimal strategy to reduce the number of total infected humans might increase a chance of invadability of the mutant influenza.

Recombinomics: E627K Acquisition in Swine H1N1 Raises Pandemic Concerns

Recombinomics Commentary 11:37
June 18, 2009

The recently released PB2 sequence from a patient in Shanghai (see updated map) contains E627K. This is the first reported acquisition of this change, which is present in virtually all human influenza A isolates, including the pandemic strain from 1918.

The current isolate, A/Shanghai/71T/2009, was collected May 31, 2009 and the sequence was deposited at Genbank on June 10, 2009. The isolate is closely related to the swine H1N1 currently spreading worldwide, and all positions upstream from E627K match the consensus sequence, indicating the E627K was not acquired through reassortment with human PB2 or other H1N1 viruses that were not closely related to the swine H1N1 circulating in the human population.

Acquisition of E627K is a concern because it allows for optimal replication at 33 C, the temperature of a human nose in the winter, in contrast to E627, which is in the avian version of PB2 and allows for optimal replication at 41 C, the body temperature of birds. The PB2 in the swine is of avian origin, and A/Shanghi/71T/2009 is the first public sequence from the circulating sub-clade with E627K.

In human seasonal flu, activity peaks in the winter months and only minimal levels are detected in humans over the summer. However, the swine flu has remained active and almost all influenza A detected in the northern hemisphere at this time is swine flu.

The appearance of E627K raises concerns that the level of swine flu with E627K will markedly increase in colder months. In 1918, the flu in the spring was mild, but the fall version of the virus, which had E627K, was much more virulent and targeted young, previously healthy adults, as previously reported for the outbreak in Mexico, and now being reported in United States and Canada, where levels are highest. This younger population target is being reoported in other countries worldwide.

Although the current case fatality rate is low, small changes like E627K could increase viral load, leading to high cytokine levels, which are associated with many of the deaths due to the current "milder" version of the swine H1N1. In contrast to the recent isolate from Brazil, A/Sao Paulo/1454/2009 which is identical to the HA consensus sequence, the A/Shanghi/71T/2009 has a unique change that is not found in closely related sequences.

This change is found in other H1N1 swine sequences (see list here) and the region surrounding E627K matches H3N2 seasonal flu in circulation in 1995. Moreover, the downstream region matches sequences found in human lethal infections in the H7N7 outbreak in the Netherlands in 2003, as well as the H5N1 outbreak in Hong Kong in 1997 (see matches here). However, in the above outbreaks, transmission to humans was not efficient, and the number of deaths was limited.

The only reported death in the H7N7 outbreak was a veterinarian infected with H7N7 containing E627K (and that case remains the only example of a human fatal bird flu infection not involving H5N1). The H5N1 sequence from Hong Kong was used to show the association of E627K with increased virulence in mice.

Thus, the acquisition of PB2 E627K in the swine H1N1 is readily explain by homologous recombination with locally related sequences containing E627K, which was a concern when the swine H1N1 begun transmitting efficiently in humans . This sustain efficient transmission lead to a phase 6 designation for the 2009 Pandemic.

The acquisition of E627K creates concern that the virus will evolve into a more lethal agent that will be associated with an increased case fatality rate in previously healthy young adults, as was seen in the 1918 Pandemic.
