INSUFFICIENT RESOURCES TO COMBAT AVIAN FLU, SAY EXPERTS

[This article is much easier to understand than the article I posted earlier today]
By Tamim Elyan
First Published: April 13, 2009

CAIRO: Vaccines available against avian flu only cover 36 percent of 300 million birds in rural farms, according to a workshop held Sunday by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the General Authority for Veterinary Services.

Titled “Evaluation of the National Campaign to Combat Avian Flu,” the workshop brought together experts who said that veterinary authorities’ efforts only cover 10 percent of poultry production.

They also criticized the inefficiency in testing for other diseases and monitoring animal slaughterhouses.

"The amount of vaccinations is barely sufficient to cover the workforce that will distribute them and the responsive farmers who are willing to vaccinate their birds," Saber Abdel Aziz, head of the epidemic and poultry diseases at the General Authority for Veterinary Services, told Daily News Egypt.

Abdel Aziz said that 600 million doses are needed to cover the entire poultry sector; however, the authority can only afford to provide 120 million doses.

Participants at the workshop criticized the lack of sufficient human and financial resources and called for a more active role by the veterinary services authority in combating the virus.

"Out of 13,000 registered veterinarians, we only have 6500 available, 70 percent of which are unqualified for field work because they are over 50 years old. We end up with only 1,200 veterinarians while at least 5,000 are needed," Abdel Aziz said

He explained that no new veterinarians have been appointed since 1994 because of the lack of funds.

Abdel Aziz added that there is a lack of preventive equipment such as special vests or cars to transfer veterinarians. “We only have 1,350 cars, that’s one car for every 20 veterinarians.”

Hamed Samaha, head of the General Authority for Veterinary Services said that Minister of Agriculture Amin Abaza filed a request to Cabinet, asking them to assign the faculty of veterinary medicine graduates to work in various governorates to contain avian flu.

“Only two percent of poultry farms apply bio-security measures,” Samaha said.

According to Abdel Aziz, in 2006 the first avian flu campaign vaccinated 90 million birds. However, subsequent campaigns didn't achieve the same level of success because farmers were unresponsive.

"It is a problem of awareness," he said.

"At first farmers were concerned so they cooperated with the authorities but now they are more confident so they don't respond to our efforts,” he said.

He was, however, optimistic about efforts this year.

The above translation describes efforts to limit poultry movement between Safaga and Qena, Egypt. Although no confirmed H5N1 infected poultry has been reported in Qena, a recently confirmed toddler (case #60) is from Qena and local media reports have described a large number of suspect cases and clusters hospitalized in Qena in recent days.

The events have precipitated a state of emergency in the area that involve tightened controls in Safaga, which is 85 km from Qena (see updated map) and signal additional concerns that the number of H5N1 in poultry and patients is significantly higher than the one confirmed toddler.

Antibody testing of sera collected from the hospitalized patients 3-4 weeks after symptoms should begin immediately. The possibility of false negatives in PCR tests remains high, and antibody testing of recovered symptomatic patients in Egypt is long overdue.

In Qena, the Directorate of Health announced a state of emergency in a hospital after the fever in the central laboratories of the Ministry of Health wounded girl, "Israa Saad Shafi," which showed symptoms of the disease last Monday and was taken to the hospital.

Detained hospital fevers QENA woman on suspicion of being infected with bird flu, which entered the El-Shafei Bkhittp (48 years old), a housewife from the village of Qena, the status of solar modules, in a very weak condition,

Detained hospital fevers Qena, two cases of suspected bird flu virus, which entered both happy Rizq Bayoumi, (28 years) Bahadjirat housewife and Khulud El Nasr (4 years), the hospital in case of extremely weak and suffering from high temperature,

The above translations describe some of the patients hospitalized in Qena recently. It is unlikely that these patients will be confirmed, because less than 1% of patients hospitalized with bird flu symptoms and stated contact with dead or dying poultry are confirmed. This low confirmation rate leads to a lack of correspondence between suspect hospitalized patients described in media reports and those that are confirmed, because even if 10% of the hospitalized patients are covered in media reports, it is likely that the suspect cases will be the 99% of patients who test negative.

However, the survival of all confirmed cases this year and the concentration of cases among toddlers (10/12 confirmed cases) has raised concerns that the number of H5N1 infections in Egypt is markedly higher than the number of confirmed cases, and a significant number of the hospitalized patients produce false negatives in the PCR testing done to determine which patients eventually are confirmed.

These concerns have been heightened further because of two cousins who are next door neighbors and developed bird flu symptoms four days apart, signaling human to human transmission between the toddlers. Moreover, there have been no confirmed H5N1 poultry cases in the Beheira neighborhood of the two toddlers (see updated map), and the toddler confirmed prior to the cousins in Beheira was in Qena, where there has also been no confirmed poultry cases (see updated map).

The confirmation of H5N1 in toddlers that are not linked to confirmed poultry cases raises concerns of silent transmission among symptomatic patients that had relatively mild cases or respond to oseltamivir treatment, which is given to suspect patients prior to test results.

The analysis of clusters provides insight into potential false negatives. The largest confirmed cluster to date in Egypt was in Gharbiya in late 2006. Three family members were fatally infected, but only two were PCR positive, demonstrating that even symptomatic fatal cases could test negative on PCR testing.

Similar concerns were generated when NAMRU-3 investigated a cluster in Pakistan. Only one family member was PCR positive. He died, as did a brother who was not tested. However, the index case, who survived but developed pneumonia , tested negative in the PCR test, yet was found to have an H5N1 titer of 2560, a very high number. Moreover, another brother who survived had an H5N1 titer of 320, again giving a clear signal of H5N1 infection by the first brother to die. Moreover, a fifth brother, who was asymptomatic also tested negative by PCR, but also had a titer of 320. Thus, of the four brothers who were tested and were clearly infected with H5N1, only one was PCR positive (and that isolate was sequenced and found to be clade 2.2.3).

However, these false negatives are not limited to cases in Egypt or cases tested by NAMRU-3. The first four suspect siblings in Turkey in late 2006 also initially tested negative in PCR testing of throat swabs, but fluid collected when the first three cases were near death were PCR positive and clade 2.2 sequences were released from two of the siblings. Moreover, H5N1 was never confirmed in the fourth sibling.
Thus, the prior false negatives in clade 2.2 infections, raises concerns of false negatives in clade 2.2 infections in Egypt.

Therefore, in addition to testing of asymptomatic patients for neutralizing antibodies, the symptomatic patients who were PCR negative but had bird flu symptoms and poultry contacts should be among the first tested for H5N1 antibodies.

Similarly, at risk groups such as toddlers with symptoms but no reported poultry contacts should also be tested by PCR, as well as neutralizing antibodies in convalescent serum collections.

The confirmation of H5N1 in mild cases in toddlers, coupled with the large number of patients hospitalized with bird flu symptoms, should lead to much more aggressive testing of patients in Egypt.

Egypt Seeks UN Bird-Flu Probe After Non-Fatal Cases (Update1)

By Jason Gale
April 13 (Bloomberg) -- Egypt asked the World Health Organization to help investigate an outbreak of bird flu after a dozen non-fatal cases of the disease this year prompted speculation the virus may be becoming less virulent.

Two WHO doctors and a scientist will travel to Cairo later this week at the request of Egypt’s Ministry of Health, said Gregory Hartl, a spokesman for the United Nations agency in Geneva, in an interview today. The UN team will assist local authorities identify how the patients were infected with the H5N1 strain of avian influenza and whether there have been any significant changes in disease patterns or in the virus itself.

Scientists have been following H5N1 for more than a decade because of concern it could spark a pandemic if it becomes as infectious for humans as it is for poultry. A less lethal strain could be more contagious because people would have longer to transmit it through coughing and sneezing. None of the 12 Egyptian cases reported to the WHO this year has been fatal.

“These data do indeed suggest that there may have been a reduction in the virulence of the outbreak strain, and there is a perceived risk of progression of the virus to a less virulent but more transmissible form,” the International Society for Infectious Diseases said today in an e-mail via its ProMED-mail program.
The survival of H5N1 patients in Egypt also may reflect early treatment with antiviral medicines, ProMED said.

At least 417 people in 15 countries have contracted the virus since 2003. Three of every five cases worldwide were fatal. Most cases were caused by contact with infected poultry, such as children playing with them or adults butchering them or plucking feathers, according to WHO.

FAO Assistance
H5N1 is continuing to circulate in poultry in Egypt, though there is no evidence so far of any significant changes in the virus, said Joseph Domenech, chief veterinary officer with the Food and Agriculture Organization. The Rome-based UN agency has also agreed to a request by Egypt’s government to provide technical assistance, Domenech said in an interview today.

Egypt has the highest number of avian-flu cases outside Asia, with 63 cases reported to WHO since 2006 of which 23 were fatal. In comparison, more than 80 percent of the 141 people reported to have been infected in Indonesia died.

Roche Holding AG says its Tamiflu antiviral medicine can reduce the severity and duration of flu symptoms if taken within 48 hours of the onset of disease. Early treatment for H5N1 may improve survival, some uncontrolled studies have shown.

WHO backs investigation into Bird Flu situation in Egypt

[This story is on the same line as the story posted here: http://pandemicinformationnews.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-bird-flu-cases-suggest-danger-of.html]


Is Bird Flu threat changing?

Following an increase in infection rates and what appears to be a change in the pattern in Egypt the World Health Organisation is backing more detailed investigation

In Egypt the World Health Organisation is backing further examination and investigation as the numbers contracting the disease rise and and the pattern of infection change. At first sight the changes appear to be good news with all of those infected in the country have survived pointing to a reduction in the virulence of the H5N1, but clinically this change could be bad news.

This possible change in the nature of the virus may be the precursor of a more substantial evolutionary stage. Clinically, the virulence of a virus imposes a factor that limits transmission rates and the time available for further mutation; as virulence decreases, the potential for a much increased rate of infection increases.


As the virulence drops, it can mean more potential for individual infections although fewer die overall in percentage terms. In Egypt this year all 12 cases survived, in China where 7 cases have been reported the mortality rate was 57% and Vietnam 100%. Most experience shows this is one of the precursor conditions for a Pandemic to occur.


Last week, a WHO organisation spokesman reported that investigations were to centre on a search for Sub-clinical cases in H5N1 infection and other factors that may mean the virus is changing. Sub-clinical cases are milder infections which provide a primary breeding ground for virus mutation.

Whilst the lower mortality rate does look like at first sight like good news, it is all to easy to misinterpret this a diminished risk. The real risk is that as infection rates rise numerically and the Case Fatality Rate falls the total number at risk of infection can start to rise rapidly. Although there is no suggestion yet of human to human infection the increased number of cases in Egypt poses the question is this first stage in the creation of the conditions needed for the jump.


Professor Robert Webster, of St Jude Children's Research Hospital in the US commented “that WHO in Egypt was raising a very, very important issue which should receive maximum attention. He added: "I hope to hell they are wrong. If this thing becomes less pathogenic, it will become more transmissible."


Professor John Oxford, of Queen Mary, University of London, a leading international expert concurred saying “that any evidence that H5N1 was becoming less deadly would be serious, as the greatest cause for concern was the disease's ability to spread.”


Pandemic Flu tops the National Risk Register and for those planning serious consideration needs to be given to the organisations ability to cope with its impact

All organisations in the public and private should have created plans to curb the effects and mitigate the impact of the disruption caused by a Pandemic yet our study shows 73% do not have proper plans to protect the business or its employees.

This stark finding comes after the National Risk Register produced by the Cabinet Office highlighted the threat of a pandemic as the most serious threat to the UK.

With over 90% of organisations not calculating the possible financial impact of a pandemic on their operations few realise how expensive it could be and falsely judge the risks to the organisations as being not relevant or unmanageable.

Even those who had developed plans confessed to a lack of confidence in over two thirds of respondents with many stating a lack of executive support as the main issue (75%).

The threat of a pandemic is real, yet our finding show that most businesses are ignoring the threat, often considering it to be vastly overhyped despite the evidence from the last century when three pandemics killed tens of millions.

Russia: This spring avian flu threatens Altai and Novosibirsk

April 13, 2009

Under the threat of avian influenza have been regions of Siberia: the western Altai, Novosibirsk, Tyumen, Kurgan and south. There may be problems in the Far Eastern District. This information was voiced chief veterinarian Russia Nikolai Vlasov, the ITAR-TASS.

According to him, in these regions are «Meeting the two versions of the virus». Nevertheless, according to Vlasov, because the poultry industry in this region almost «kill», then serious damage will not be. At risk of avian influenza was also a central part of Russia.

On the problems of avian influenza began to speak in connection with the possibility of its spread during the spring migration of birds. During the press conference Vlasov said that avian flu «doletit to Russia, as well as the continuing spread of infection in East Asia and Africa. We infected bird came, but Russia will not be anything terrible, because the veterinary services to the developed ».

Chief veterinarian Russia also announced that this year «sporadic cases will be lower than last year, and they will not have serious consequences».

Russia: Kamchatka has been training to eliminate potential hot spots bird flu

09.04.2009
Kamchatka specialists conducted training on the enforcement of the state of readiness of mobile antiepizootic order to eliminate the possible bird flu foci in the territory. As April 9, told the correspondent of news agency REGNUM in the press service of the Government of the Kamchatka Region, on the legend of training, the four personal Compound citizens in the area occurred Milkovskogo sudden mass death of poultry - in one day fell 157 heads of chickens, ducks and geese, deteriorated condition of the birds and the neighboring houses.

Case occurred in the Compound, the owners who refused to carry out vaccination against bird flu. The preliminary diagnosis - suspected to be infected poultry, the virus H5N1.

As part of the training specialists work out actions to locate and eliminate a possible bird flu epicenter: Disinfection of premises, transport and equipment, organization of the quarantine.

As the head of the Agency for Veterinary Kamchatka Krai Marina Nishta, training conducted within the framework of general training to the period of mass migration of birds over the territory of the Kamchatka region. "Last year an outbreak of bird flu was registered in the Primorsky Region, is troubled epizootic situation in selected countries in Southeast Asia. On the territory of Kamchatka bird flu cases are not recorded, but the threat of carrying the virus in the migration of birds saved," - said the chief state veterinarian Inspector of the Kamchatka region.

To prevent drift in the edge of a dangerous bird and human virus vaccination is carried out by specialists of industrial poultry and poultry products for personal Compound, the veterinary stations set up stocks of equipment, medicines and drugs for the localization of epizootic manifestation, are antiepizootic other activities.

Russia: Insulin Controlled

excerpt:

On the issue of human infection by avian influenza in Indonesia, Russia feared infected people carrying a new type of virus. The statement was made by the chief veterinarian of Russia Nikolai Vlasov. Speaking about the possible extension during spring migration of birds, Vlasov said that, yes, bird flu doletit to the Russian lands, as well as the continuing spread of infection in East Asia and Africa. The loss of Russia from the avian flu will be two to three times less than in Southeast Asia, Mexico, Africa and the Nile Delta.

Under the threat of carrying avian influenza were the regions of Siberia: the West Altai, Novosibirsk, Tyumen, Kurgan and south. There may be problems in the Far Eastern District. At risk of avian influenza was also a central part of Russia. Since November, bird flu could cause problems in Dagestan, in southern Rostov region and Krasnodar territory.

According to Internet publications.

Russia: The Altai region because of the danger of an influenza epidemic would be vaccinated more than 1 million poultry

13.04.2009

On the territory of the Altai region, where there is a threat of carrying avian influenza virus has started a large-scale vaccination of domestic animals. Now specialists encourage adult ducks, geese and chickens. In early May, vaccinations will be delivered to young chicks. Total plans to provide 1 million 311 thousand / poultry, told ITAR-TASS reported today in the management of Россельхознадзора in Altai Krai.

Vaccination is carried out in 38 areas of the province. "Through the Altai Territory are migratory routes of wild birds from Asia, where the main foci of the spread of the virus. Flying birds will begin shortly. - Told a correspondent. Itar-Tass gosinspektor Altai administration Россельхознадзора Sergei Zamiralov. - All poultry in the province are working in a closed mode. There is a review of all birds, delivery of which takes place from abroad. "

On the possibility of the emergence of avian influenza in Russia on Friday, said deputy head Nikolai Vlasov Россельхознадзора. Among the regions, which may be subjected to such dangers, Vlasov called Altai Territory, particularly the western part, Novosibirsk Region, south of Tyumen. Also, avian flu may appear at the poultry farms and households, the central part of Russia. "Beginning in November may be the problem in Dagestan, Rostov region," - added Vlasov.

The most common cases of bird flu found in South-East Asia, equatorial Africa, Indonesia. The infection is dangerous because it can become infected individuals. In this case, registered a high mortality rate - up to 50%. Now observed in different countries and 500 human cases of avian flu, almost half of them died.

I have noticed that this blog is being recommended in the YouTube Video: Emergency Update - Spread This Video Like Wildfire.

I became aware of this video thru a forum on avian influenza. It has brought many to our blog here.

Let me state for the record, that we here at Pandemic Information News do not believe, nor do we condone this video. It is a rumor. It probably has incited fear among some, and laughter among others.

We welcome you here at our blog, and please feel free to read our news that we've collected from various countries, a lot of it has been translated. We have many links on the right side bar that will help inform you on the issues of Avian Influenza (H5N1).

The dog could spread the Antara influenza Virus the Species

[This is from the Emerg Infect Dis. 2008 May Issue, and was posted today in Indonesia]


The DOG could spread influenza directly from the poultry, was like this the researcher's Korean circle said just recently, while saying, their findings showed the livestock could play a role in pandemik in the future. Several dogs a kept animal to was sick and died as a result of what changed to an eye strain the flu virus seasonal. was like this the researcher's circle reported in the Emerging Infectious Diseases magazine. “Data we received proof that the dog could be still playing some role in the spread between the species and spread the virus of influenza,” Daesub Song from Green Cross Veterinary Products Ltd in Yong-in, South Korea and several of his colleagues reported.

"dog-dog this contracted influenza H3N2, his kind was the same as one of the flu kinds that now is contagious in the human circle. However the genetic analysis indicate the dogs were infected with viruses directly from a bird/poultry,” said the team Sole. The doctor's circle learned the animal spread the flu virus from one animal to the other animal. Often was expert in being convinced most, if not all of them, the influenza virus came from the poultry. The influenza virus avian H5N1, that struck all the livestock in Asia, Africa and various European territory parts, sometimes infected humankind, infected 376 people and killed 238 among them. Also sometimes infected the dog, the cat, the wolf, the civet and teens of the species of birds from the goose to the goose.

That was worried that that will experience the change or having a combination in a form that easily spread from one humankind to other humankind, spread some pandemik that must be potential will kill hundreds of millions of humankind globally. H3N2 was found to the poultry but also something that was normal the flu kind to humankind. However varites that was contagious to the poultry and humankind apparently the difference in the level of his genetics. The Song team carried out the research into spread him in influenza to the dog animal.

Existed

“From May till September 2007, various cases of difficult respiratory disease happened to the animal in three located livestock breeding clinics 10 through to 30 kilometre his distance in the Kyunggi Province and one located pen in the Jeolla Province (the south South Korean territory) ,” they wrote. A miniature succeeded in being found, but a champion, two dogs of Jindo Korea and seeorang a kind of Yorkshiore dog died. As many as 13 other dogs were in a pen infected, and had proof an amount ajing [typo? anjing = dog] other also was infected. According to the DNA analysis showed these viruses came from the dog that was enough close to his similarity with that bersal [bersalah = culpable/wrong] from chickens or the China duck in Hong Kong, Japan and China. The spreading of the virus avian influenze A to the species of the mammal was the big concern because that potential made the virus tesebut [typo? tersebut = above-mentioned] adapted in an infection the mammal just, passed new species barriers and got the potential pandemik,” they wrote.

They were convinced the dog spread through food. “We while concluding that the spread happened when gave ate the dog that was mixt with the slice of duck meat or chicken,” they wrote. “In South Korea, the duck and the chicken that were not treated, including the interior organ and the head, already widely was used to give the dog ate to fatten the local dog. “Possibly/potentially the dogs were infected through the respiratory tract outcast in the birds market that afterwards this virus spread to that other,” they added. “Marketplace living birds will it was estimated be a network that was lost in epidemiology the virus avian infeluenza because they brought in a manner besama-be the same the big party like the chicken, the duck, the turkey, the goose and the dove, in a place that berinsentitas high that represented an environment that was ideal for the virus that spread between spesies,” they wrote.

Bac Lieu free of bird flu
-------------------------
Bac Lieu Province People's Committee has announced the end of an
avian flu outbreak that began more than a month ago [February 2009].
The Mekong Delta province's Animal Health Department manager Lam Tri
Thong said everything had returned to normal Saturday [4 Apr 2009].
The epidemic had been located mainly in Vinh Phu Dong Commune, Phuoc
Long District.

However, the province authorities have asked local agencies and
governments to keep a close watch on all farms and continue
vaccinating all flocks of ducks and other fowl in the area. More than
16 000 birds were put to death over the last month, according to the
department.

القاهرة - محرر مصراوي - حذرت تقارير صحفية من ان تحصينات الطيور ضد فيروس انفلونزا الطيور أصبحت دون جدوي. CAIRO - Editor Masrawy - The press reports that the fortifications against influenza virus, bird flu has become to no avail.

ونقلت صحيفة الوفد عن مصدر الطب البيطري تأكيده وقوع اصابات في الدواجن المحصنة بالطعون التقليدية، والتي لم تتغير منذ ثلاث سنوات. The newspaper quoted the source as veterinary confirmed casualties in the heavily fortified poultry traditional appeals, which have not changed since three years.

واشار إلى أن أنواع التحصينات الحالية الثلاثة وهي "إتش 5، 7 ، 9" تعالج نوعا من الفيروس لم يعد موجودا في مصر، وان الحكومة رفضت الاتصال بشركات إنتاج الأمصال، لصناعة مصل جديد بناءً علي تحليل عينات من الدواجن النافقة. He pointed out that the current three types of immunizations, a "HP 5, 7, 9," dealing with some kind of virus is no longer in Egypt, and the government has refused to contact the companies that produce vaccines, for the manufacture of a new vaccine based on the analysis of samples from dead poultry.

وأكد أن جميع دول العالم تقوم كل ثلاثة أشهر بفحص عينات من الدواجن النافقة عن طريق الشركات العالمية المتخصصة في انتاج لقاحات جديدة مطورة طبقا لتحور الفيروس. He stressed that all countries in the world every three months to examine samples of dead poultry by international companies specialized in the production of new vaccines developed in accordance with the mutated virus.

وأضاف المصدر أن الفيروس الجديد "المتحور" شن هجوماً ضارياً على عنابر الجدود والأمهات و "نسف" 90% من الدواجن، ونتج عن ذلك ارتفاع ثمن الكتكوت من جنيه واحد إلى سبعة جنيهات بزيادة قدرها 700% خلال 3 شهور فقط! The source added that the new virus, "mutated" to launch a fierce attack on the wards and maternal grandparents and "blow up" 90% of poultry, resulting in an increase in the price of Nestling than one pound to seven pounds, an increase of 700% in 3 months!

وفي سياق ذي صلة، هدد منتجو الدواجن بالإضراب وغلق جميع المزارع، احتجاجاً على القرارات التي اصدرتها اللجنة العليا لأنفلونزا الطيور برئاسة الدكتور أحمد نظيف رئيس الوزراء بغلق المزارع التي تبلغ بوجود حالات إصابة بالمرض بأنه قرار خاطئ. In a related context, the poultry producers have threatened to strike and the closure of all the farms, in protest against the decisions issued by the Supreme Committee for Avian flu, headed by Dr. Ahmed Nazif, Prime Minister, the closure of farms in the amount of the existence of cases of the disease that the wrong decision.

وصف المنتجون القرارات بأنها "مهزلة"، وليس لها علاقة بأصل المشكلة، وتجاهلت الاستماع إليى رؤية المربين واتحاد منتجي الدواجن. Producers described the decision as a "farce", and has nothing to do with the origin of the problem, and ignored the vision of Alei hear educators and the Union of Poultry Producers.

أكد مصدر باتحاد منتجي الدواجن، أن القرارات "خراب بيوت"، وتمثل ضربة قاضية علي البقية الباقية من صناعة الدواجن. A source with the Federation of Poultry Producers, that the decisions "ruin homes," and represents a fatal blow to what remains of the poultry industry.

واشار المصدر إلي أن سوء تعامل مجلس الوزراء مع الكارثة منذ بدايتها نتج عنه تراجع الانتاج من 3 ملايين دجاجة يوميا إلى 500 ألف فقط، بانخفاض قدره 80%.

New bird flu cases suggest the danger of pandemic is rising

Infections in Egypt raise scientists' fears that virus will be spread by humans
By Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor

Sunday, 12 April 2009


First the good news: bird flu is becoming less deadly. Now the bad: scientists fear that this is the very thing that could make the virus more able to cause a pandemic that would kill hundreds of millions of people.

This paradox – emerging from Egypt, the most recent epicentre of the disease – threatens to increase the disease's ability to spread from person to person by helping it achieve the crucial mutation in the virus which could turn it into the greatest plague to hit Britain since the Black Death. Last year the Government identified the bird-flu virus, codenamed H5N1, as the biggest threat facing the country – with the potential to kill up to 750,000 Britons.

The World Health Organisation is to back an investigation into a change in the pattern of the disease in Egypt, the most seriously affected country outside Asia. Although infections have been on the rise this year, with three more reported last week, they have almost all been in children under the age of three, while 12 months ago it was mainly adults and older children who were affected. And the infections have been much milder than usual; the disease normally kills more than half of those affected; all of the 11 Egyptians so far infected this year are still alive.

Experts say that these developments make it more likely that the virus will spread. Ironically, its very virulence has provided an important safeguard. It did not get much chance to infect other people when it killed its victims swiftly, but now it has much more of a chance to mutate and be passed on.

The WHO fears that this year's rise in infections among small children, without similar cases being seen in older people, raises questions about whether adults are being infected but not falling ill, so acting as symptomless carriers of the disease. Its investigation, due to start this summer, will see if this is happening by testing the blood of people who may have been in contact with infected birds, but who have not themselves become sick.

John Jabbour, who works with WHO in Cairo, told Reuters last week: "There is something strange happening in Egypt. Why in children now and not in adults? We need to see if there are sub-clinical cases in the community." He added that if the research did find such cases, they would be the first to be discovered anywhere in the world.

Though he stressed that there was still no evidence of the disease passing from person to person, other experts are also becoming alarmed. Professor Robert Webster, of St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee – who is the world's leading authority on the disease – told The Independent on Sunday that, while he himself had not seen firm data, the WHO in Egypt was raising "a very, very important issue" which should receive "maximum attention". He added: "I hope to hell they are wrong. If this **** thing becomes less pathogenic, it will become more transmissible."
And Professor John Oxford, of Queen Mary, University of London, said that any evidence that H5N1 was becoming less deadly would be serious, as the greatest cause for concern was the disease's ability to spread.

Even a much less virulent strain of the virus could result in a devastating pandemic. Studies show that an outbreak that killed as few as 5 per cent of those it infected could still cause hundreds of millions of deaths around the world.
