Amongst all the internal gene segments (PB2. PB1, PA, NP, M and NS), the avian PB1 segment is the only one which was reassorted into the human H2N2 and H3N2 pandemic strains. This suggests that the reassortment of polymerase subunit genes between mammalian and avian influenza viruses might play roles for interspecies transmission. To test this hypothesis, we tested the compatibility between PB2, PB1, PA and NP derived from a H5N1 virus and a mammalian H1N1 virus. All 16 possible combinations of avian-mammalian chimeric viral ribonucleoproteins (vRNPs) were characterized. We showed that recombinant vRNPs with a mammalian PB2 and an avian PB1 had the strongest polymerase activities in human cells at all studied temperature. In addition, viruses with this specific PB2-PB1 combination could grow efficiently in cell cultures, especially at a high incubation temperature. These viruses were potent inducers of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines in primary human macrophages and pneumocytes. Viruses with this specific PB2-PB1 combination were also found to be more capable to generate adaptive mutations under a new selection pressure. These results suggested that the viral polymerase activity might be relevant for the genesis of influenza viruses of human health concern.

Swine flu spreads to every Australian state, territory
Last Updated:
Health authorities in every state and territory in Australia are now dealing with swine flu, after the Northern Territory reported its first case overnight.
A total of 255 people now have the virus.
The Northern Territory centre for disease control is monitoring the woman and a group of people she's been in contact with. They are being treated with tamiflu and are under home isolation.
The woman arrived on a flight from Melbourne to Darwin last Friday but has only now tested positive to the virus. It's unclear how many passengers she may have come into contact with but health authorities will try and track down them all.
It's the first case to be reported in the Northern Territory.
Most swine flu cases are in Victoria.
A total of 173 people are being treated there while in New South Wales there are 54 notifications.
Queensland has 15 cases, South Australia 6, there are four in the ACT and one each in Western Australia and Tasmania.

Scientists find more signs of bats’ role in spreading the deadly Ebola virus
Bats spread the Ebola virus to humans and play a pivotal role in disease outbreaks, evidence suggests.
Ebola, a filovirus, causes fever, vomiting, diarrhoea and sometimes bleeding. There is no treatment or vaccine and 25–90 per cent of infected people die. The virus is transmitted by direct contact with infected blood, body fluids and tissues.
The new findings have emerged from data collected in the remote Kasai-Occidental and Kasai provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) which experienced a large Ebola outbreak in 2007 in which 186 people died.
Some members of the research team helped discover in 2005 that fruit bats are a natural reservoir of the Ebola virus
For the new study, researchers led by Eric Leroy from the International Centre for Medical Research in Franceville, Gabon, interviewed locals about the background of the Ebola cases. They were told that the annual migration of the fruit bat Hypsignathus monstrosus was particularly large in 2007.
Bats are an important source of protein in the area as wild animals are in short supply. They are often shot and then sold covered in blood.
The researchers believe the source of the 2007 outbreak was a man who bought bats at market. He survived, experiencing only a low fever, but his four-year-old daughter died after developing a sudden fever accompanied by vomiting.
A family friend who prepared the girl’s body for burial was subsequently infected and went on to infect 11 members of her family, all of whom died.
Researchers say their study suggests infection is only transmitted after prolonged contact with an infected person, meaning it may be easier to contain an outbreak than was previously believed.
Jean-Jacques Muyembe, epidemiologist at the DRC’s National Biomedical Research Institute and co-author of the study, told SciDev.Net that the team will continue to retrace events around outbreaks and carry out ecological studies in bats “to definitely prove that these bats are the direct vectors of Ebola to humans”.
Vital Mondonge, a co-author from the infectious disease section of DRC’s health ministry, says that the bat migration should be a focus of efforts to prevent Ebola infection.
Chimpanzees and gorillas are also known Ebola vectors. Bats, however, appear not to die from Ebola, suggesting they play a role in maintaining the virus in tropical forests.
Red Cross: Zimbabwe's Cholera Epidemic Expected To Infect 100,000th Victim Sometime This Week
May 26, 2009 8:30 p.m. EST
Windsor Genova - AHN News Writer
Harare, Zimbabwa (NewsBahn) - Zimbabwe is experiencing its worst cholera outbreak in 15 years and it is likely that the 100,00th victim will develop the disease sometime this week, Red Cross officials say.
The International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) said in a statement Tuesday that there have been 98,309 cases officially reported, so far, with about 4,283 deaths.
Although the pace at which the number of new cases is being reported is beginning to slow, the Zimbabwe Red Cross Society (ZRCS) and the IFRC warned that the risk of infection remains.
"(The) eradication of cholera in Zimbabwe or the complete conclusion to this current epidemic is unlikely unless the underlying causes of the health crises are addressed," the joint ZRCS and IFRC report released Tuesday states.
"Central to this outbreak remains the almost complete collapse of Zimbabwe's basic water, sanitation and health infrastructure. Communities across the country are still without access to potable water and basic sanitation, and health facilities continue to be understaffed and under resourced," Red Cross officials said.
The next step is to make sure that households have clean water and the necessary sanitation facilities. However, Red Cross officials note that it will take years to rehabilitate Zimbabwe's infrastructure to accomplish that.
Cholera broke out 10 months ago. Widespread food insecurity made the situation worse.
Red Cross officials are trying to raise $3.5 million to repair existing water sources, develop more and build toilets. They are soliciting donations from the international community.
Viet Nam-Unsanitary practices at slaughterhouse
| 16:38' 29/05/2009 (GMT+7) | ||
VietNamNet Bridge – Ha Noi's biggest abattoir is slaughtering its pigs out of doors and scattering the meat on the ground, a recent inspection has found.
The factory is also discharging its untreated waste into the Set River, causing serious pollution. Environment Police Department deputy head Nguyen Viet Tien said the breaches were found during a recent inspection of the Thinh Liet Slaughtering House which handles more than 1,000 pigs a day and provides half of the city's meat requirements. The sample of waste discharged into the Set River was taken to the Environment Observation Centre for testing, Tien said. Ha Noi Animal Health Department officer Phi Thanh Hai said instead of transporting the meat in boxes, as regulated, the abattoir transported them uncovered. A large number of motorbikes carrying uncovered beef were also caught, Hai said. The food safety and hygiene inspection, requested by the Ministry of Health, was undertaken by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Ha Noi Health Department head Le Anh Tuan said boosting inspections of food manufacturers and processors had already led to a dramatic decrease in cases of acute diarrhoea at hospitals. Acute diarrhoea has hit 700 people in 15 provinces in Viet Nam. Punishment for the abattoir and the relevant authorities would be decided in due course, said Tien. The Ha Noi People's Committee's plan is for all cattle and poultry to be slaughtered indoor under hygenic conditions. Authorities are worried about the super flu and acute diarrhoea epidemics running concurrently and are giving priority to food safety and hygiene inspections. |
Bangladesh storm aftermath-Atulia air heavy with death stench from livestock
Sunday, May 31, 2009
Dead cattle, fish, poultry and other animals floating in the water bodies in Atulia under Shyamnagar upazila bear witness to the destruction Aila caused. The living are in plight whereas the dead are lucky.
The air of Atulia is heavy with the cries of the marooned and stench of decomposed livestock. The road from Gumantoli Chuna Bridge to Noabeki Bazar reeks of death.
The need to pull out the decaying livestock from water is immense but no one sees the point as no high land was spared to bury them.
The river Kholpetua has flooded the entire union of Atulia; one of the worst Aila hit areas with tidal surge that wrecked the southwestern coastal belts of the country on May 25. As far as the eyes lead only water is visible as almost every village is reeling under knee to waist deep water.
Thousands of people of the area are still living on roads as not a single homestead was spared by the storm surge.
Almost all of the houses in these villages including Biralaxmi, Baduria, Uttar Atulia, Hawolbhangi, Chotokupor, Borokupor have been washed away. Almost every yard is now a pile of waste. Villagers are gathering whatever they can recover while many of them have abandoned the place.
The devastated and destitute families took refuge on the road, where some lost their valuables, most importantly, their precious cattle. Cattle means so much to these poor people of the country's southwestern part.
Scarcity of safe drinking water is now haunting the villagers.
With her daughter-in-law, octogenarian Gulaman Bibi of Biralaxmi village was seen in a long queue on the road for water. With a faint voice she said, “I do not want anything, just give me some water.”
Housewife Farida Khatun of Uttar Atulia was standing with her three-year-old daughter as she heard drinking water was on its way.
“My child has been suffering from diarrhoea since last night and is now dehydrated,” she said adding, “I need fresh water and saline to save her.”
“We do not have any pond left as most of them we used for drinking water have turned salty in the tidal surge,” she said adding that they cannot even cook since there is no high ground to place stoves or any fuel to light it up.
Masiron Bibi said, “I have lost everything. I have no house, clothes or medicine. We can go without food for few hours but no way we can survive without water.”
Many villagers, especially children, have got skin diseases because of the dirty and contaminated water used for bathing and other purposes.
Tube wells could not be installed here due to salinity and iron in the water, said Rabiul Islam, another resident of the village. So most of the villagers used to purify pond water for drinking, but these ponds have been inundated, he added.
Wading through waist-deep water, Jahidul came to collect water from the lone remaining tube well at Uttar Atulia village. “There is no tube well in three kilometres and the water from it is too inadequate,” he said adding that that tube well also went under water during the high tide.
Bimol Mallick of Baduria said he has to fetch water by boat, as his house is three kilometres away from Uttar Atulia.
Cooking with this salty water gives food an unpleasant taste and colour. Joyna Akhter said, “My children do not want to eat food cooked with the water as rice tastes salty and smells terrible.”
The locals are now resigned to the nightmare they are living through. They have no option but to crowd along the banks hoping for relief.
LAOS-Vets issue warnings in wake of cattle disease outbreak
UNDIAGNOSED DIE-OFF BOVINE - LAOS: REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Veterinarians have warned the public not to transport, trade, or eat
livestock that have died as a result of haemorrhagic disease, as
outbreaks spread across the country. Some people in rural areas
continue to eat the meat of infected animals, as they are unaware of
the disease or uninformed about preventative measures.
The disease can easily spread to other livestock and people may fall
ill with diarrhoea if they eat animals that have died from the
disease, said Livestock and Fisheries Department veterinarian Dr
Phouth Inthavong. "We should incinerate and bury infected carcasses
at the place where the animals died, or at other places far from
where other livestock graze," he said. Infected livestock suffer from
a swollen stomach and neck and a fever, after eating grass or water
alongside other infected animals, he said.
People should bury dead livestock in pits that should be dug at least
1-1.50 meters [3-5 feet] deep to prevent dogs or pigs unearthing
infected carcasses. They should be covered with soil and then lime
sprinkled on the surface. These burial practices will prevent the
disease infecting other buffalo and cattle, he said.
Xaythany district Livestock and Fisheries Unit Head, Mr Thongtem
Luangxay, said illegal livestock movement around the country causes
the disease to spread. There have also been reported cases of black
leg disease in Xaythany district, Vientiane. This disease bears some
similarities to haemorrhagic disease but was less likely to spread
across the country, he said.
According to Dr Phouth, livestock with this disease suffer from
swollen legs and find it difficult to walk. But the disease is not
fatal if animals are treated appropriately and in a timely fashion.
Anthrax, which could potentially cause far greater damage to
livestock populations, was unlikely to occur in Laos at present,
despite outbreaks having occurred in past decades, Dr Phouth said.
"The most obvious symptoms humans infected with the disease display
are boils on their face or body. They will also become ill after
eating infected meat," he said.
In light of these risks traders must be responsible and consumers
should exercise caution. "We should not eat any dead animals infected
with any disease, both to prevent an outbreak from occurring and in
the interests of public health and safety," Dr Phouth said.

[According to the article, a hemorrhagic septicemia outbreak across
Laos has been reported and people who consume meat from dead animals
will get diarrhea. Nonetheless, the article has also reported an
outbreak of black leg disease in Xaythany district. The signs of the
disease reported from Xaythany are very similar to hemorrhagic
septicemia. It was also reported that people who consume dead animal
meat would have had a "boils on their face or body." Due to limited
details on the clinical signs and outbreak investigation data in both
animals and humans, a differential diagnosis of the disease as
anthrax, blackleg, and hemorrhagic septicemia is very difficult.
PRO/MBDS would greatly appreciate receiving more information on this
outbreak in Laos.
Since there are reports of diarrhea and "boils on their face or body"
after eating meat from dead cattle, it is worth mentioning that
anthrax in humans, especially its skin or cutaneous form, may begin
as a raised itchy bump that resembles an insect bite but within 1-2
days develops into a vesicle and then a painless ulcer, usually 1-3
cm in diameter, with a characteristic black necrotic (dying) area in
the center (see picture of cutaneous anthrax at
<http://www.bt.cdc.gov/agent/anthrax/anthrax-images/cutaneous.asp>).
Intestinal anthrax is characterized by an acute inflammation of the
intestinal tract. Initial signs include nausea, loss of appetite,
vomiting, and fever, followed by abdominal pain, vomiting of blood,
and severe diarrhea. In respiratory anthrax or inhalation form, the
initial symptoms may resemble a common cold. After several days, the
symptoms may progress to severe breathing problems and shock. (more

Egypt reports 77th bird flu case
5/30/2009 10:20:00 PM
CAIRO, May 30 (KUNA) -- The Egyptian Health Ministry confirmed on Saturday the 77th infection case with H5N1 virus.
A female baby, aged one year and two months, contracted the highly pathogenic virus because she got in contact with domestic birds in a village located in Daqahliya, north Cairo, the ministry's spokesman Dr. Abdulrahman Shahin said in a press briefing.
The baby was hospitalized five days ago, suffering from bird flu-like symptoms including high temperature, running nose, and respiratory disorder.
She was diagnosed as H5N1 positive so she has been treated with the antiviral drug Tamiflu, Dr. Shahin revealed.
The victim is being relocated to Manshiyat Al-Bakri Hospital, Cairo, for further medication, he added.
The case pushed to 77 Egypt's national tally of the fatal disease with the death toll amounting to 27 since the outbreak of the highly contagious virus in February, 2006.
The National Higher Commission against Bird Flu has adopted a new preventive methodology to control the spread of the H5N1, a subtype of the influenza A virus commonly-known as bird flu which can cause illness in humans. The methodology involves the medical and municipal authorities as well as the mass media. (end)

Asked the Minister of Health Dr. Hatem el-Gabali that religious rites performed on special prayers, "Friday" in the open places, and not inside the mosque, crowds not be so crowded crowded places.
وأوضح الجبلي ، في تصريح صحافي أمس ، أن هناك دراسة اجرتها منظمة الصحة العالمية عام 2004 عن الفيروسات التي تنتشر في موسم الحج، ووجد أنها ما بين اربعة الى خمسة انواع من فيروسات الانفلونزا، وأن مصر هي البلد الوحيد الذي تطابقت فيه انواع الفيروسات المنتشرة في موسم الحج، مع فيروسات الانفلونزا الموجودة في مصر، مؤكدا انه عند حدوث اي خطر قادم سوف يتم فتح الحجر الصحي في سفاجا والسويس والطور ومطار القاهرة لاستقبال جميع الحجاج وحجزهم.
The mountain, in a press statement yesterday, said a study conducted by the World Health Organization in 2004 for the viruses that spread in the pilgrimage season, and found to be between four to five types of influenza viruses, and that Egypt is the only country where the identical types of viruses spread in the season Hajj, with influenza viruses in Egypt, adding that when there is no danger to come will be the opening of quarantine in Safaga, Suez, Cairo Airport and the stage to receive all the pilgrims and detention.
وحذر من شراسة فيروس H1N1 المعروف ب"انفلونزا الخنازير" مع دخول فصل الشتاء والخريف، منبها الى أن الفيروس حاليا في انحصار ومن المتوقع أن يحدث له كمون في فصل الصيف ،مشيرا إلى ان هناك سابقة تاريخية حدثت عام 1918 لوباء الانفلونزا طبقا لما اقرته منظمة الصحة العالمية والذي ظهر في بدايته بصورة خفيفة ثم تحول الى صورة عنيفة مع دخول الشتاء وتسبب في وفاة نحو 50 مليون شخص.
He warned of the ferocity of the virus known as H1N1 "swine flu" with the onset of autumn and winter, warning that the virus is now in decline and is expected to happen to him the necessity of the summer, pointing out that there is historical precedent occurred in 1918 flu pandemic, according to WHO approved World, which appeared in the beginning and then turning slightly to the picture with the entry of a violent winter and caused the deaths of some 50 million people.
ومن جانب آخر ، قال وزير الصحة المصري الدكتور حاتم الجبلي "إن القضاء على انفلونزا الطيور سوف يستغرق وقتا للقضاء على الفيروس وهناك اشياء ايجابية واخرى سلبية فى مكافحة المرض"، مشيرا الى ان الاشياء الايجابية هي نجاح برامج التوعية، وعند حدوث اي اصابة يتم اكتشافها مبكرا وعلاجها، ومعدلات الوفيات في مصر اقل نسبة في العالم ومن الاشياء السلبية هي استمرار التربية المنزلية التي هي السبب الرئيس في جميع الاصابات التي ظهرت مؤخرا.
On the other hand, the Minister of Health Dr. Hatem el-Gabali "The eradication of bird flu will take time to eradicate the virus and there are both positive and negative in the fight against disease," he said, adding that the success of the positive things is the awareness-raising programs, and in case of any injury is detected early and treatment, and mortality rates in Egypt, the lowest in the world and the negative things are the continuing education of household, which is why the President in all cases that have emerged recently.
في غضون ذلك ، تقدم عضو الكتلة البرلمانية لجماعة الإخوان المسلمين بمجلس الشعب "البرلمان المصري" الدكتور فريد اسماعيل عبد الحليم بطلب احاطة الى رئيس الوزراء الدكتور أحمد نظيف ووزير الصحة حاتم الجبلي بخصوص ما تقوم به الحكومة لمواجهة أنفلونزا الطيور وأنفلونزا الخنازير وفشل السياسات الحالية في السيطرة على هذا الوباء أو التقليل منه.
In the meantime, the member of the parliamentary bloc of Muslim Brotherhood group, the People's Assembly, "the Egyptian parliament," Dr Abdul Halim Ismail unique request for a briefing to the Prime Minister Dr. Ahmed Nazif and Minister of Health Hatem el-Gabali on what the Government was doing to address the avian flu and swine flu and the failure of current policies to control the the epidemic or minimize it.
وقال الدكتور فريد اسماعيل: إن مصر احتلت المرتبة الأولى عالمياً بعد ثلاث سنوات من بدء المرض ووصلنا إلى الحالة ثمانين من الإصابات مع عدم قدرة الأمصال الحالية على القضاء على الفيروس" .
Said Dr. Farid Ismail: Egypt is ranked the world's first three years after the start of the disease and we have the situation of the eight cases with the inability of current vaccines on the eradication of the virus. "
وأشار الى أن تقارير لجنة الزراعة والصحة بالبرلمان المصري كشفت عن أن الحكومة فشلت في تحقيق المستهدفات وان نسبة ما تحقق من التطعيمات ورصد العينات وخلافه لا يزيد على 30% وان السعة التخزينية التبريدية للأمصال اقل من 25% ، فضلا عن العجز الكبير في المجازر اللازمة للذبح والتي تصل إلى 35% فقط ، بالإضافة إلى عدم وجود أطباء بيطريين في الحكومة يسدون العجز بسبب توقف الحكومة عن التعيين الأطباء البيطريين من سنة 1994 .
He noted that the reports of the Committee on Agriculture and the Egyptian People's Assembly's Health revealed that the government failed to achieve the targets achieved and the proportion of vaccinations and monitoring of samples, otherwise no more than 30% and storage capacity for vaccines Altbredep less than 25%, as well as the large deficit in the massacres for the slaughter, which up to 35% only, in addition to the lack of veterinary doctors in the government deficit by blocking the government will stop the recruitment of veterinarians from the 1994 year.
ولفت الى أن الأخطر ما في الموضوع في أنفلونزا الخنازير هو التصريح الغريب والخطير الذي أطلقة وزير الصحة بأننا نستعد الآن بمقابر جماعية وتحويل الشوارع إلى مستشفيات وإغلاق المدارس والحجز الجماعي لشعب مصر في حالة وجود إصابات بأنفلونزا الخنازير ، مما أحدث رعباً كبيراً في الشارع المصري وأصاب المصريين باكتئاب خطير وقلق دائم على مستقبلهم ومستقبل وأولادهم فى ظل حكومة لا تعي ما تقول.
He pointed out that in the most serious issue in the swine flu was the strange and dangerous remarks made by the Minister of Health that we are now preparing cemeteries and mass transfer of the streets to hospitals and the closure of schools and the mass arrest of the people of Egypt in the case of swine flu infections, which caused great alarm in the Egyptian street and hit the Egyptian depression serious and constant concern for their future and the future of their children under a government that is not aware of what they say.
وأكد أن هذا التصريح الخطير للمسؤول الأول عن الصحة في مصر يحتاج إلى مراجعة فورية وإعادة تصحيح هذا الكلام في بيان أمام البرلمان المصري وأمام الإعلام لبث الطمأنينة في قلوب ونفوس المواطنين ، مشيرا الى أن المكسيك والولايات المتحدة الأمريكية وهما من اكبر الدول إصابة بالفيروس وأعلاها في الوفيات ، تسير الحياة فيها بصورة طبيعية ولم تتوقف عجلة الحياة.
He emphasized that this statement is dangerous for the health official in Egypt need to review the immediate and correct the words in a statement to the Egyptian parliament and broadcast media to reassure the hearts and minds of the citizens, noting that Mexico and the United States, two of the largest HIV infection and the highest mortality, is the normal life did not stop the wheel of life.
وتساءل عن حقيقة هذه الحملة المنظمة والمرعبة والتي تقودها منظمة الصحة العالمية ويسير في ركبها بعض المسؤولين في مصر ؟
He wondered about the reality of this campaign, and horrible, which led the World Health Organization and is in the knees of some officials in Egypt?
والتي ربحت فيها شركة رامسيفيلد وزير الدفاع الامريكي الأسبق والتي تنتج دواء تاميفلو ربحت مئات المليارات من الدولارات من دواء ضعيف لا يقضي على الفيروس ولا يجلب الشفاء ؟
The company, which won Ramseveld and former U.S. Secretary of Defense, which produces Tamiflu won hundreds of billions of dollars of medicine to the poor does not eliminate the virus does not bring healing? ومتى تتوقف هذه التصريحات الخطيرة وغير المسؤولة ؟!. And when to stop these dangerous statements and irresponsible?!.

Swine flu strikes New York City flu expert's daughter
On Thursday, Scott Harper, an influenza expert at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, was speaking at a symposium on H1N1 swine flu. With 356 confirmed cases in the city, the recent pandemic has been striking close to home. In fact, it recently struck his home.
The epidemiologist was talking about the city’s response to the outbreak at the New York Academy of Sciences, when he let slip the fact that his 9-year-old daughter was ill with swine flu. Scientific American editor Christine Soares was seated in the audience and says “nobody blinked” as Harper casually recounted his all-too-personal experience with the virus.
Swine flu has killed four people in New York State, and hospitalized more than 100, including 10 patients currently on ventilators in the city. The outbreak seemed to be waning in recent weeks, but yesterday the city closed 6 additional schools, bringing the total to 13. Harper has himself been popping up in the news media urging parents with sick children to stay home from school – and he’s apparently heeding his own advice.
“The big picture is not the number of deaths in any given city,” Harper told Newsday on Wednesday, “The big picture is how many cases are coming.”
