Recombinomics: Symptomatic H5 Collecter Hospitalized in Hong Kong
Commentary
Given the fact that the driver developed symptoms two days before the operation, the spokesman noted that the chance of him being infected with avian flu was low.
''However, as a precautionary measure and in order to follow up his condition more closely, the driver has been admitted to the Princess Margaret Hospital for observation and further investigation,'' he added.
The above comments describe a hospitalized driver of the collection team in Hong Kong. He is said to have developed URI symptoms prior to the collection of H5 positive dead waterfowl, which may signal a seasonal flu infection. At this time, the most prevalent seasonal flu in Hong Kong is Tamiflu resistant H1N1.
A major concern associated with the fixing of H274Y in H1N1 in Asia is a dual infection involving H1N1 and H5N1. Therefore, URI symptoms in a member of the collection team prior to collection of H5 positive birds are a concern. The current symptoms are of greater concern because culling/collection teams usually are treated with Tamiflu prophylactically, which would have no effect on symptoms caused by H1N1 with H274Y.
Moreover, H5N1 in a host with H274Y on H1N1 could become resistant by recombining or reassorting with the N1 with H274Y, leading to H5N1 with H274Y, which would selected by the treatment.
Therefore more information on the etiological agent responsible fro URI prior to collection of birds would be useful and/or URI that remained after the collection of the birds would be useful, which would included sequences from the birds and driver.
Use of symptomatic culling members is hazardous to the world’s health.

Preliminary testing of a dead goose and two dead ducks found in Sha Lo Wan, Lantau has indicated a suspected case of H5 avian influenza, a spokesman for the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) said today (January 31), adding that further confirmatory tests were being conducted.
The carcasses of a goose and a duck were found and collected on January 29 at a beach near Sha Lo Wan football pitch. They were highly decomposed when being found. Today AFCD staff collected another dead duck at the same location.
The spokesman said there were no poultry farms within three kilometres of where the carcasses were found. This morning AFCD staff conducted inspection of the beach and the nearby villages of Sha Lo Wan Tsuen and Sha Lo Wan San Tsuen. There was no evidence of any backyard poultry being kept there.
AFCD is very concerned about the incident and will continue to monitor the situation. Inspections of the beach and its vicinity will be stepped up. The department is looking into different possibilities of why the goose and duck carcasses were found at the beach, including whether they had been washed ashore or dumped.
The spokesman said the threat of avian influenza remained. The relevant departments will remain vigilant and continue to strictly implement preventive and control measures against avian influenza.

Hong Kong: Eighteen persons with contact of dead birds put under medical surveillance
Saturday, January 31, 2009
Following the finding of dead birds in Sha Lo Wan, Lantau, the Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health is liaising with the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department in tracing people who had potential contact with the dead birds suspected of being infected with H5 avian influenza.
CHP contacted six members of the public who reported the incident and 12 staff involved in the operation of collecting dead birds.
Seventeen of them are asymptomatic and have been put under medical surveillance, a CHP spokesman said today (January 31).
The 26-year-old driver who had participated in collecting the dead birds on January 29 developed fever and symptoms of upper respiratory infection since January 27. He denied having contacted with the birds during the operation.
Given the fact that the driver developed symptoms two days before the operation, the spokesman noted that the chance of him being infected with avian flu was low.
“However, as a precautionary measure and in order to follow up his condition more closely, the driver has been admitted to the Princess Margaret Hospital for observation and further investigation,” he added.
The spokesman reminded members of the public to remain vigilant against avian influenza infection and to observe the following measures:
* Avoid direct contact with poultry and birds or their droppings; if contacts have been made, they should wash hands thoroughly with soap and water;
* Poultry and eggs should be thoroughly cooked before eating;
* Wash hands frequently;
* Cover nose and mouth while sneezing or coughing, hold the spit with tissue and put it into covered dustbins;
* Avoid crowded places and contact with sick people with fever;
* Wear a mask when you have respiratory symptoms or need to take care of patients with fever; and
* When you have fever and influenza-like illnesses during a trip or when coming back to Hong Kong, you should consult doctors promptly and reveal your travel history.

Sickened Vietnamese man suspected to have bird flu
Sat Jan 31, 2009 3:54am GMT
HANOI, Jan 31 (Reuters) - A 32-year-old Vietnamese man has been hospitalised in the country's southern Mekong Delta with pneumonia and doctors suspect he may have caught bird flu, a state-run newspaper said on Saturday.
Samples from the man in Vinh Long province suffering from fever, cough and pain chest were now being tested for the H5N1 virus at the Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City, the Thanh Nien (Young People) daily said.
It did not say on how he fell sick.
The Health Ministry has warned bird flu could spread during and after this week's Lunar New Year festival when chicken is consumed in vast quantities. In addition, winter creates an ideal environment for the avian influenza virus to thrive.
Vietnam has this year confirmed one case of human infection in the northern province of Thanh Hoa, involving a 8-year-old girl who fell sick after having eaten duck and chicken raised on the family farm. She has recovered.
The H5N1 flu remains largely a virus among birds, but experts fear it could mutate into a form that is easily transmitted by humans and spark a pandemic that could kill millions worldwide.
Having resurfaced in Asia in late 2003, the virus has infected 399 people worldwide and killed 252 of them, including 52 in Vietnam, according to the World Health Organization. (Reporting by Ho Binh Minh; Editing by Sanjeev Miglani)

"The evolution of influenza vaccine breakthrough" to the News
2009/1/29
The flu vaccine that is inoculated with a lot of people every year, or get out of the year the epidemic strain blockhead, and until the beginning of the epidemic, I think I have had off years. Such a "bet" was developed a new generation of flu vaccine that does not need to go.
Article is as follows.
Flu vaccine study group ministry universal ...
Jan. 29 - 3:03 minutes Distributor: Yomiuri Shimbun
Labor and Welfare Ministry research team has developed a vaccine effective against different types of influenza viruses.
Unlike conventional vaccines, the characteristics of the continuing effects of the virus to mutate to check on animal experiments. To practical use is expected to take several years, is also expected to help prevent avian flu.
Research Group, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Hokkaido University, Saitama Medical University, oil, chemical manufacturers.
The vaccine is usually made based on the protein covering the surface like a splinter virus. After inoculation, the virus entering the body, to prevent the proliferation and the antibody recognizes a thorn. However, the flu, the pandemic virus is often different in form of thorns, for the mutant form of the spine, frequently had to re-create the flu vaccine every year.

Flu vaccine study group ministry universal ...
Jan. 29 - 3:03 minutes Distributor: Yomiuri Shimbun
Labor and Welfare Ministry research team has developed a vaccine effective against different types of influenza viruses.
Unlike conventional vaccines, the characteristics of the continuing effects of the virus to mutate to check on animal experiments. To practical use is expected to take several years, is also expected to help prevent avian flu.
Research Group, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Hokkaido University, Saitama Medical University, oil, chemical manufacturers.
The vaccine is usually made based on the protein covering the surface like a splinter virus. After inoculation, the virus entering the body, to prevent the proliferation and the antibody recognizes a thorn. However, the flu, the pandemic virus is often different in form of thorns, for the mutant form of the spine, frequently had to re-create the flu vaccine every year. And prediction of type to be out of fashion, diminished the effect of vaccination.

"Relenza" INFURU requested additional treatment, A Soviet-type epidemic
2009 Thursday, January 29 08:05
Resistance to the Tamiflu anti-flu medicine, or work hard to type A viruses of the Soviet Union, in response to the high rates found in this season, the Ministry of Health, the treatment of another "Relenza" manufacturers "Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) ", have been asked to consider the possibility of 28 additional suppliers, the sources said.
Ministry season, Relenza has secured 300 million. However, Tamiflu is to ensure that 900 million people.
A total of 44.5% and the detection of the Soviet Union, the three most prevalent type, with an expansion in the future, will not be concerned with a steady supply of Relenza, GSK has asked the ministry to .

Lamongan, FRIDAY - suspected cases of bird flu found in 29 villages in 11 districts Lamongan District. Since December to now, there were at least 5,000 chickens died. According to Animal Husbandry and Animal Health District Lamongan suspected bird flu found in nine districts, namely District Maduran, now, Solokuro, Karanggeneng, Sukodadi, Turi, Sugio, Kalitengah, and shoots. Now this case is found in the District and Karangbinangun DEKET.
Implementing Tasks and Head of Animal Husbandry Animal Health Lamongan Soeprayitno, Friday (30 / 1), say, chicken is not all dead birds infected with bird flu. To know the chicken died due to avian influenza virus or not need laboratory testing. Lamongan only in the tens of chickens fell ill a positive of H5N1 virus or avian influenza, some of the chicken samples tested in laboratory animal husbandry in Tuban.

Cases found in the latest Village Putat Banjar (Karangbinangun) and Sugihwaras (DEKET).
He asserts, to this day of bird flu have not yet found the man. Initially on 19 January Imrotul Muhibah (21), citizen Glagah, Lamongan, suspek pain (suspected) bird flu infected and treated at the General Hospital Ibn Sina Gresik. Victim died. However, the results of laboratory tests showed the patient was negative bird flu.
In the border region in Panceng, Kabupaten Gresik, a week ago also found hundreds of dead chickens. A patient suspected of bird flu virus is exposed to treatment in hospitals Dr Soetomo, Surabaya.

Maros , the Stand - the Condition for the health of casualties suspect bird flu or Avian influenza, Anshar (4), that was treated in the Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital began to improve. Casualties's father, Arsyad, revealed that. "His condition has been good," obviously him, on Friday (30/1). Anshar beforehand suffered the quite high fever until must be treated in isolation space. Anshar was the only Arsyad child who was domiciled at the Village of Baddo-Baddo, Desa Bajimagai, Kecamatan Mandai, Kabupaten Maros. He was treated in the hospital since, on Tuesday (27) then. Anshar Bersamaan when Anshar the high fever, the kept poultry belonging to Arsyad suddenly died suddenly. After being carried out pengetesan by the Besar Veteliner Hall (BB-Vet), evidently this poultry was positive terjangkit bird flu.
Was like this his matter with Anshar. When the health service carried out the inspection, evidently he was stated suffered the bird flu illness. Beforehand, the Peternakan Service, Perikanan, and Marine carried out the extermination 79 poultries belonging to Arsyad. 78 tails consisted of the chicken and one kept bird. Penyemprotan Tim of the Cepat Movement of the Control of Bird Flu, Isdar Jidmajid, said if since being found by the existence of the case of bird flu in the Village of Baddo-Baddo, Dinas Peternakan continued to carry out spraying to eradicate the spreading of the virus from bird flu.

Russia: Influenza vaccine
[I'm wondering if their composition is the same as ours? Haven't found that info yet...]
excerpt:
In February of each year, WHO recommends that appropriate strains of influenza virus for the vaccine composition for next season. Therefore, in spite of the same name of the drug, the composition of the vaccine each year is changing.

Russia: Influenza vaccine
[In trying to find more information on the Soviet A Strain mentioned here:
"Meanwhile, A-Hong Kong, A Soviet-type, B type of the virus in three types, the resistance to Tamiflu A trend of this year the virus has spread throughout Japan-Soviet resistance". (http://pandemicinformationnews.blogspot.com/2009/01/japan-fury-in-full-working-tami-flu.html)...I came upon this. It's more or less advertising their adjuvant called "Grippol".]
A few excerpts. Click on the title of the story for the full article.
Stage 1 - Create tselnovirionnyh vaccines. This is a live vaccine containing attenuated influenza virus, and tselnovirionnaya inactivated vaccine containing the whole of irusy flu since inactivation and clearance. Vaccines are the first generation to be the most reactogenicity, which severely limits their use, especially among children. Moreover, sometimes even dangerous to use a live vaccine. Take predpandemichnuyu situation in the world today. WHO experts now recommend immunization only inactivated influenza vaccines. The problem is that influenza virus is very Kowary: easily transmitted through airborne droplets, rapidly mutates to form new strains against which the human immune system for another set. At the same time finding different influenza viruses in one organism (eg, avian influenza virus and human) is likely to exchange genetic material of these two strains and the emergence of new strains with new properties. So imagine, if vaccination of live vaccines a person becomes a carrier for 2-3 weeks and distributor of the virus, albeit weakened, but it is viable.
Worth it for the patient to sneeze pigeon, chicken, or, for example, a pig - further events will be unpredictable.
-snip-
Stage 2 - the creation of split vaccines containing particles «destroyed» virus surface and internal proteins attached to the sites of lipid membranes. Vaccines 2 generations contain 15 micrograms of antigen each type of influenza (A, B) relevant strains.
-snip-
Stage 3 - Create subedinichnyh vaccines consisting only of high-surface antigens. These vaccines also contain 15 micrograms of antigen per strain, but they are no longer additional impurity proteins. Subedinichnye vaccines are highly immunogenic and better, compared with the split vaccine, portability.
As you can see, the evolution of influenza vaccine was on the path to greater security - improved cleaning technology viral material from ballast compounds. However, WHO still has the developers of vaccines to enhance the effectiveness of drugs and, most importantly, their security for all populations. Therefore, the last 5-7 years, the efforts of scientists around the world aimed at finding a safe «immunopotentsiatora», adjuvant that can enhance the immune response, increase the speed of its development and duration.
In Russia, this adjuvant has long been there - Polioksidony. Inclusion Polioksidoniya in prot ivogrippoznyh subedinichnyh vaccines Grippol and Grippol Plus allowed us to create a new - the fourth generation of vaccines that are better immunogenicity and the high profile security, as well as in 3 times reduces the antigen load on the body. One immunizing dose (0.5 ml) plus Grippol vaccine contains 5 mg gemagglyutinina relevant strains of influenza virus type A (H1N1), A (H3N2), B, and 500 mcg Polioksidoniya. With such a seemingly small dose of antigen after vaccination Grippolom and Grippolom plus defined pronounced immune response necessary to produce a full protection against influenza. A rapid rate of development of the immune response without the excess immune system and make Grippol Grippol plus the only vaccines, immunization, which can be up to the beginning of the rise of epidemic disease.

Do not sneeze at flu
[Typo: they are referring to H5N1]
Date: 30.01.2009
n January, a situation aggravated by the incidence of people caused by the influenza virus A/N5N1. For commentary correspondent "RG" asked the Chief Medical Officer of RF Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Academician Gennady Onishchenko:
- While in Europe the spread of influenza did not exceed normal seasonal levels. Most of it in Ireland and Switzerland. Isolated cases in Asia. In Russia the situation is regarded as the epidemic did not. Although in the last week of the infection increased in Kaliningrad, and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Most suffer from acute respiratory infections, children and elderly people in Arkhangelsk, Irkutsk, Syktyvkar, Khabarovsk, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Kaliningrad, Krasnoyarsk, Murmansk, Pskov, Perm. To prevent the incidence, possible complications, which are so dangerous influenza immunization in a population of Russia - 26.5 million people vaccinated.
This is a very important addition to other security in connection with the fact that in January compounded the situation on the incidence of people caused by the influenza virus A/N5N1. This is the virus - the most likely candidate that can lead to the anticipated pandemic. -snip- This year has already recorded 3 cases of bird flu among humans in China, including 2 - fatal, one case in Egypt. Recent cases of the flu virus in humans were recorded in parts of China, no border with Russia.
We have designed and carried out to prepare for a pandemic. But as the situation worsened for bird flu in several countries, including neighboring Russia, we need additional measures. It is necessary to strictly control the conduct of immunization of poultry farms, the health of the markets that sell live domestic and decorative bird. If you are in a region troubled by bird flu, then you should inform about the possible risks of contracting bird flu, the measures of personal and preventive actions in case of illness. In the airports of Moscow region, the subjects where there are regular and charter communication with China and other vulnerable to bird flu countries, strengthened sanitary and quarantine control. Paragraphs such control must be Desinfectants, personal protection equipment for remote detection of people with fever. Now is the time to check the readiness of hospitals, clinics and dispensaries to provide assistance to patients with suspected influenza virus infection A/N5N1. Ventilator, antiviral drugs, Desinfectants, personal protective equipment is essential.
I understand, might say: there is no epidemic, not even noticeable until the recovery of the disease. Why frightening? What are some specific steps? Yes it is that the flu does not take precedence over us. In addition, if you are sick, not self, and call a doctor in the house to comply with its provisions. And remember: you can not joke with the flu. Especially with the influenza virus A/N5N1.

Influenza attacks Russia on both sides
January 28, 2009
Khabarovsk and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, the first Russian region to feel approaching epidemic influenza. The epidemic threshold of infectious disease Kaliningraders exceeded by 36,3 per cent in the city on the eastern outskirts of the country are sick to 27.4 per cent higher than the threshold value.
According to ITAR-TASS the head of the National Center for Influenza World Health Organization in St. Petersburg, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Academician Oleg Kiselev, among children up to two years in eight cities - Arkhangelsk, Kazan, Krasnoyarsk, Murmansk, Syktyvkar, Khabarovsk, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk epidporogi exceeded from 22.3 per cent (Murmansk) to 122.6 per cent (Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk).
Among children 3-6 years, six in Arkhangelsk epidporog exceeded 43 per cent, in Kaliningrad - on the 102 Khabarovsk and 74 per cent. In three cities - Astrakhan, Perm and Pskov this excess has little - to 17.5 percent.
Do schoolchildren and the incidence of influenza ARI above threshold by an average of 45 per cent indicated in the Arkhangelsk, Kaliningrad, Barnaul, Krasnoyarsk and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
There was a significant increase in incidence in North-West region and the Far East, which, apparently, is the beginning of the epidemic of influenza in Russia - assumed Acad Kiselev.

Russia: Influenza: preparedness number 1
Before the epidemic threshold for influenza Petersburg far: in the day there are about 5 thousand patients (threshold - 9 thousand). However, doctors do not exclude that the epidemic this year.
According to doctors, the epidemic of influenza in the northern capital will come in the second half of February. However, this scourge of St. Petersburg well prepared: for this city Rospotrebnadzor, in 2008, was vaccinated against influenza 786 394 people - this is a very high rate of almost five million megapolis.
Prevention. If you have not entered the number vaccinated, have to be especially cautious. The best way to increase resistance to viruses - to lead a healthy lifestyle. Ideally, this is a balanced diet and adequate physical activity. Sleeping should be no less than 7 hours per day: scientists from Carnegie Mellon University (USA) proved that even a relatively small breach of sleep can negatively affect the immune system.
If your team "brought" grippoznik that does not lezhitsya home, take immediate action. Drink immunostimulator, nalegayte to vitamin C. Finally, wash your hands frequently.
Bilberry and onions to support immunity
Those who have great physical and nervous pressure, U.S. researchers on the eve of the epidemic of influenza are advised to nalegat onion, broccoli, grapes, blueberry (can be frozen), red wine and tea. They kvertetsin, which gives the body "prognutsya" under the pressure of infection, even with a weakened immunity.
Nose - the gate to the influenza virus
During the epidemic, lubricate the mucous membrane of nose this oily garlic and onion. Recipe: 3-4 garlic cloves and 1 / 2 onion finely cut, and pour a small amount of warm vegetable oil. Present in 2 hours and strain.

China bird flu deaths increase spate warning
2009 January 31
Kobayashi Satoru [= Canton] China bird flu (H5N1 type) are spreading the infection to humans. The infection has been published this year, five people were killed, have already surpassed last year's death toll. China has "no signs of infection," he said, the Chinese Lunar New Year (Lunar New Year) of those who had started back home the U-turn, the tip of the iceberg.
The death of the first year in Beijing. Women cooked the duck got into the market late last year (19) causes a fever and breathing difficulties, died in the first five days of hospitalization. Since then 17 women in Jinan, Shandong (27) ▽ 20 men of Guizhou in the bosom of the hospital on Sunday Hunan (16) ▽ 23 women in Urumchi, Xinjiang (31) ▽ 26 Sunday Guangxi province of men (18) climate and the dead, more than three weeks in a year than the year 4.
The Chinese government increased the death toll will increase at a fast pace ever alert. State-run Xinhua news agency said, "The current infection is sporadic," "evidence of infection that causes a large explosion," Introduction to the opinion of the experts said. To emphasize that it is not spread from human to human, and spread to domestic and international concerns打CHI消SOU.
China Central TV, which reported in detail the information every time out the dead.各地で緊急対応措置が発動され、専門家チームが感染者と接触した人を特定し、発熱などの症状が出ていないか７日間様子を見ていることなどが伝えられている。
The government is preparing to return to the city many people the day before Lunar New Year, called for a thorough medical report if the patient had pneumonia of unknown cause, to strengthen measures.
But many farmers in China to keep ducks and chickens can be a source of infection, source of the high risk of infection. Spring infected about 8 percent from the winter (November-March) and concentrated to increase the look inevitable. Health Minister Chen竺"Now is the time to have a high incidence of human infection, infection control is difficult," acknowledged that sporadic infection continues.
If the infection in humans, may appear to be infected with the human type and the virus evolved over time. Should the virus be広MARE in the heavily populated urban areas, high risk of sudden epidemic.
Epidemic (pandemic) to prevent, is essential for containment and isolation of infected patients with early onset. But if the woman died in Beijing, family members and medical personnel in hospitals and the remaining 116 in the corresponding anxiety of the authorities and exposed to the risk of secondary infection.
According to local paper, local women's clinic in the "cold" and "pneumonia" repeatedly changing hospital and being diagnosed, he was suspected of being infected by bird flu is developing a family of 11 was killed last Sunday after Sunday. Health officials in China "to be seen and not too worried about the symptoms the patient medical costs, more expensive tests that were reluctant to delay the confirmation of infection is possible," admits .
Influenza: Barack Obama's Presidency under viral pandemic flu threat
[Article is a little dated. Out of Germany:]
1/20/09
The world is celebrating Barack Obama as President of the United States � while a new threat appears on the horizon: There are severe signs that the long expected pandemic avian influenza could be on its way to conquer the world. First deaths in Asia concern little children, which from virological point of view is a rather new aspect, and could be the evidence for a new spread. While scientists expect this pandemic to happen in the near future, the new President should also stay alert: A coming influenza pandemic would deteriorate the global economy even without financial crisis or recession.
by Vlad Dan Georgescu and Marita Vollborn
First evidence for the global threat comes from China, where a 2 year old girl has been confirmed to be infected with bird flu in the northern Shanxi Province, as government officials said last Saturday. The child was found ill on 7th of January in the central Hunan province - the little patient still is in critical condition. According to the test result of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the girl had been tested positive for the H5N1 strain of avian influenza.
On the other site of the globe, the Ministry of Health and Population of Egypt announced a new human case of avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection last week, the case being a 21 month old girl Kerdasa District.
�Infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus was diagnosed by PCR at the Egyptian Central Public Health Laboratory and subsequently confirmed by the U. S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 (NAMRU-3) laboratories�, reports the special wire PROMED. According to PROMED, investigations into the source of her infection indicate a recent history of contact with sick and dead poultry - 23 similar cases in Egypt have been fatal up to date.
Old Europe as leading research power?
Given such facts, Mr. Obama should follow European research policy: European research on vaccine development for pandemic influenza has been financed since 2001 by the European Union. Early projects worked to develop an egg-free vaccine, which is faster and safer to produce, along with innovative application techniques. Research is now underway with the objectives of fighting the disease at the source (infected birds) and protecting human populations through pandemic influenza vaccines. Future EU research will improve vaccine efficiency by adding adjuvants, substances that boost the body�s immune response to vaccine antigen. Additionally, research teams are currently focused on developing a universal flu vaccine that could provide a lifetime of protection from influenza.
Latest surveillance data coming through the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) from virologists and clinicians indicates that the influenza A(H3N2) virus is the predominant strain in Europe so far this season (2008/2009). Based on the data published by ECDC the pharmaceutical company Roche confirms that the oral antiviral Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is fully active against influenza A(H3N2) and influenza B, which currently comprise 94 percent of circulating viruses in Europe this year. Tamiflu resistance reported in the 2008-2009 influenza seasons is confined to H1N1. No resistance has been seen with other circulating seasonal viruses - H3N2 and influenza B.
"Recent media reporting has elevated awareness of the H1N1 seasonal resistance seen this year in the United States and the Far East. However, in Europe the picture is different with H3N2 being the dominant strain so far. The circulating H3N2 viruses, which often cause a more severe illness than H1N1, are sensitive to oseltamivir, which means that oseltamivir will be active against the vast majority of influenza infections in Europe this season, if current trends continue," comments Prof Albert Osterhaus, Head of Virology, Erasmus Medical Centre, Rotterdam. "It is important that doctors understand that oseltamivir remains an effective treatment for patients across Europe."
Flu alert for the new President
However, the situation in the United States is more alerting, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A new University of Colorado at Boulder study showed the resistance of the avian flu virus to a major class of antiviral drugs "is increasing through positive evolutionary selection, with researchers documenting the trend in more than 30 percent of the samples tested", as the scientists report. Even if the expected influenza pandemic did not start yet, there is no doubt about the comeback of the lethal virus: The first Pandemic Influenza occurred in three waves in the United States - exactly 90 years ago, between 1918 and 1919.

Japan: Fury in full working TAMI flu prefecture, with a peak in early February
Saturday, January 31
Hardening the fury that the flu in Tokushima Prefecture. The closure will remain in the classroom grades are not many in recent years, the nationwide expansion of a virus resistant to treatment with a full year of TAMI. The resistance to Tamiflu in a series of cases in the prefecture. Peak is expected in early February, has been urging Japan to ensure the prevention of infection.
According to a preliminary tally from the first week in January the County Department of Health Promotion, the fourth week of medical reports from the prefecture and point (90 - 52 days) the number of patients is 9000. Third week (20 - 80 days) increased from 50 905 people, the epidemic began.
Number of patients (to 52) but accumulated less than a year ago, the infected population at the school is serious. March 92, the closure of schools with grades kindergarten classroom in the prefecture has a total of 12 schools. 8 schools in a season last year, the season the past five years in 20 schools, many are rare. The reason for this surge is unclear, state: "If you have Hashi Seki wearing masks, washing hands thoroughly and I hope the whole school" for the prevention and awareness.
Meanwhile, A-Hong Kong, A Soviet-type, B type of the virus in three types, the resistance to Tamiflu A trend of this year the virus has spread throughout Japan-Soviet resistance. Sample survey of Health and Environment Center in the prefecture, the prefecture has so far not been confirmed, medical institutions, "resistance to Tamiflu" cases have been reported.
県医師会感染症対策委員会委員長の馬原文彦医師によると、今冬の当初はＡ香港型が主流だったが、ここ二、三日でＡソ連型が過半数を占めるようになり、このうち９８ percent of the resistance to Tamiflu.
Relenza, vaccines and immunization and other treatment is effective SHINMETORERU. However, the expansion of the resistant virus will be unable to supply some stability concerns.
馬原 doctors are "more important than prevention? Yes 2 or more at room temperature, humidity and 5 percent more than try to prevent infection should receive vaccination now," he advised.

県医師会感染症対策委員会委員長の馬原文彦医師によると、今冬の当初はＡ香港型が主流だったが、ここ二、三日でＡソ連型が過半数を占めるようになり、このうち９８ percent of the resistance to Tamiflu.
Relenza, vaccines and immunization and other treatment is effective SHINMETORERU. However, the expansion of the resistant virus will be unable to supply some stability concerns.
馬原 doctors are "more important than prevention? Yes 2 or more at room temperature, humidity and 5 percent more than try to prevent infection should receive vaccination now," he advised.

Japan: TAMI INFURU full resistance, 11 prefectures in Soviet-type A or type or another
[Older article, note date]
2009.1.17
This winter, the epidemic of influenza in Japan, A Soviet-type virus, 97% (35 samples in 34 samples) with very high probability that the flu drug "Tamiflu" is ineffective and difficult to pull or "resistant virus "is 16, the sources said, according to National Institute of Infectious Diseases. Changes to the drug Tamiflu "Relenza" There are effective if used in the medical field is a Soviet-type virus or the A, to distinguish which is the other type is difficult. Situation is concerned about the potential confusion in the medical field.
The resistant virus was found in Hokkaido have found in the survey, Miyagi, Chiba, Tokyo, Shizuoka, Mie, Shiga, Osaka, Hyogo, Hiroshima and Yamaguchi prefectures 11. The findings also could go the other prefectures, it could prove to be even more widespread distribution of resistant virus.
Annual epidemic of influenza virus type A in the Soviet Union, A-Hong Kong, B-3. A season of Soviet-type virus infected 36% of patients have been detected. A Hong Kong is 45%. The B-19%. At this time for small-scale epidemic "has become mainstream unknown type" (call infection) said.
However, A-type predominant if the Soviet Union, could cause major disruptions in the medical field.

Second antiviral added as UK doubles flu pandemic stockpile
29 Jan 09
The Government is to double the UK's stockpile of antiviral drugs for pandemic flu after announcing it is to buy 10.6 million courses of Relenza (zanamivir) and 7.6 million more doses of Tamiflu (oseltamivir).
The extra capacity is expected to be in place by April 2009 and will mean there will be 33.5 million treatment courses of antiviral drugs available.
Public health minister Dawn Primarolo said the move would re-inforce the UK's position as' one of the best prepared countries in the world ', with enough drugs available to treat everyone who would be expected to fall ill in a pandemic.
Dr David Heymann, Assistant Director-General for Health Security and Environment at the World Health Organization, said stockpiling a second drug, GlaxoSmithKline's Relenza (zanamivir), in addition to Tamiflu (oseltamivir) was sensible.
He said: 'Purchasing enough antivirals to treat the worst case attack rate scenario, and two different antivirals in case resistance develops, is a first class example of the UK's advanced planning.'
Today's announcement follows new guidance to GPs released earlier this month by the BMA and RCGP and supported by the Department of Health.
It advised that GP surgeries' buddy up 'with neighbouring practices. Practices would also come under the direct control of PCTs in the event of an outbreak of pandemic flu.
The Government first announced plans to double stockpiles of antivirals and purchase a second drug in its November 2007 flu pandemic strategy.

H5N1: Avian flu reaches Canada / Fear of human pandemic influenza grows
[Out of Germany]

The man also on the communicable disease of avian influenza, H5N1, has reached North America. Handet While most of the viruses in Vancouver after authorities detected a little information virulent strain, also affects the infestation is currently only birds. But the human form of avian influenza was in the last few weeks in China, Indonesia and Egypt unusually fast ihrel run - have died so far over 250 people worldwide to follow the infection. Is the world next to the banking crisis and world recession now the experts have long predicted global pandemics before? by Vlad D. Georgescu
> The well for the people classified as highly pathogenic avian influenza H7 pathogen had already in June 2008 reached Britain. As the British authorities in Oxfordshire has been announced at that time the virus in laboratory tests flawlessly demonstrated. Therefore, the establishment of 3 or 10-kilometer exclusion zones angeordndet.
The measures do not come by chance: the causative agent of avian influenza H5N1, it seems to one of the most dangerous people to be mutated variant - known as the H7 virus could trigger a global pandemic. H7 differs genetically from H5N1, said Terrence Tumpey of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta. That could Tumpey that the virus for humans make so dangerous. Indeed, laboratory experiments have shown that certain proteins H7 to human lung cells docks - the transmission from human to human is possible. Even the nation's capital is preparing for a coming and severe influenza pandemic: the Berlin Senate Administration for Health, Environment and Consumer Protection has Framework influenza pandemic updated.

This was according to data from the capital of the Federal Republic because of new findings and changing framework conditions are necessary: "It is likely that in the foreseeable future to a new global influenza epidemic (pandemic) will come." Indeed, the World Health Organization (WHO) called on all states, to an influenza pandemic preparation. Such a pandemic could possibly change in the bird flu virus A (H5N1) arise. So far, only a few people infected with this virus - but the agents are on the global march.
And it is only when they are very close contact with diseased poultry was. A direct transmission from human to human is, according to the WHO has not yet been demonstrated. "However, this can result in further changes in spreading H5N1 strains are not totally excluded," share the Berlin health authorities.
The Senate Administration for Health, Environment and Consumer Protection has been working for several years with threats of an influenza pandemic and the resulting consequences for Berlin. For the protection of the population, the so-called Berliner framework developed influenza pandemic and in May 2006. This plan is based on the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) published national pandemic plan has been created and has now been updated.
The aim of the framework is the number of illnesses and deaths during a possible influenza pandemic and to limit medical care to ensure. The public life is necessary in its structures and maintain the economic damage will be limited.

H5N1: Avian Influenza hits North America - Concerns about global flu pandemic rising
H5N1: Avian Influenza hits North America - Concerns about global flu pandemic rising
The avian influenza virus H5N1 has been detected in North America. "Tests have confirmed an outbreak of bird flu at a turkey farm near Vancouver, but it appeared to be a less virulent strain and posed little risk to humans, officials said on Saturday", reports PROMED. However, until now the global death toll is rising - according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 252 people have died since 2003 because of the virulence of H5N1.
First evidence for the global threat comes from China, where a 2 year old girl has been confirmed to be infected with bird flu in the northern Shanxi Province, as government officials said receently. The child was found ill on 7th of January in the central Hunan province - the little patient still is in critical condition. According to the test result of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the girl had been tested positive for the H5N1 strain of avian influenza. Meanwhile the Ministry of Health in China has announced 3 new confirmed human cases of H5N1 infection. The 1st, a 31-year-old female from Urumqi, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, had onset of symptoms on 10 Jan 2009. She received treatment in hospital but died on 23 Jan 2009, according to the WHO
On the other site of the globe, the Ministry of Health and Population of Egypt announced a new human case of avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection last week, the case being a 21 month old girl Kerdasa District.
�Infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus was diagnosed by PCR at the Egyptian Central Public Health Laboratory and subsequently confirmed by the U. S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 (NAMRU-3) laboratories�, reports the special wire PROMED. According to PROMED, investigations into the source of her infection indicate a recent history of contact with sick and dead poultry - 23 similar cases in Egypt have been fatal up to date.
Flu alert for the US President
However, the situation in the United States is more alerting, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A new University of Colorado at Boulder study showed the resistance of the avian flu virus to a major class of antiviral drugs "is increasing through positive evolutionary selection, with researchers documenting the trend in more than 30 percent of the samples tested", as the scientists report. Even if the expected influenza pandemic did not start yet, there is no doubt about the comeback of the lethal virus: The first Pandemic Influenza occurred in three waves in the United States - exactly 90 years ago, between 1918 and 1919.
