Denpasar (ANTARA News) - Udayana University Professor I Gusti Ngurah Kade Mahardika confirmed, the bird flu circulating her ranch for a prolonged period raises a new group of viruses that are genetically very different.
"That is the result of research conducted during the last two years," said a well Mahardika Biomedics and Head of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (FKH) Udayana University in Denpasar, Monday.
He said the difference is genetically far enough to reach 8.7 percent compared with the original virus.
"Isolates, isolates were found in a large chicken farm which generally has been vaccinated," said the alumnus of a higher education institution in Germany.
Origin itru viruses identified since 2003, while previous studies concluded, all of Indonesia bird flu evolved from a single introduction.
The virus originated from a single predicted domestic poultry in southern China, which last reached endemic conditions and developed into a group.
Mahardika added, genertik groups A, B and C are typical in each island, all at the Pulai bersikulasi Java.
But the final findings show that recent isolates, isolates vary significantly with group A, B and C, although still clearly evolved from a virus group A.
In addition to mutation, a new virus that also has a deletion of codons that have not been revealed before.
Incidence of mutations and deletions are signyal appearance of the virus with the potential capacity to jump the species barrier and can be transmitted easily between humans, said Mahardika. (*)
