Pharmaceutical Company Blames Vaccine for Causing Fits in Children
Published : Friday, 02 Sep 2011, 7:56 PM CDT
(Newscore) - Pharmaceutical giant CSL has blamed a world-first blending of flu virus strains as the likely cause of fits in children immunized with its flu vaccine last year, The Australian reported Saturday.
CSL followed World Health Organization recommendations when it concocted its controversial Fluvax vaccine, which combined swine flu with two seasonal strains of influenza for the first time.
The vaccine has been banned for children under five in Australia, Europe and the US since it triggered convulsions in one out of every 100 children immunized in Australia last autumn.
CSL Friday revealed a breakthrough in its 18-month scientific investigation, which involves the federal government's Therapeutic Goods Administration and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It said the interim findings pointed to a problem with how the three virus strains interacted.
"Our scientific studies indicate that the interaction between the particular virus strains used in the 2010 ... vaccine contributed to the reactions, but we are still working to understand the how and why," a CSL spokeswoman told The Australian.
"We have completed comprehensive investigations into our manufacturing operations [which] have not identified any change or deviation in our standard registered manufacturing process that could have contributed to the increased reactions."
America's Food and Drug Administration warned CSL in June that it could revoke its American license over what it described as manufacturing deficiencies and an inadequate investigation into the cause of last year's febrile fits.
Avian influenza outbreak in Quang Tri
According to the Veterinary Department of Quang Tri province, bird flu broke out again in a few localities in the province, with total poultry population is infected 11,750 children, which has destroyed more than 10,000 children.
The provincial Veterinary Bureau is directing the district veterinary stations focus on implementing the preventive measures, determined not to spread disease on a large scale. Since the beginning of August to now, the provincial Veterinary Bureau has vaccinated more than 125,000 doses of flu vaccine for poultry in the area of the district has a high risk of recurrence of epidemic.

Flying Fox Could Be Hosting Avian Flu
Latest in parliament is the debate whether bats contain the bird flu virus which could spread in the humans.
The issue was raised in parliament by an independent member Burnett Rob Messenger during question hour round, in which he asked this question from Health Minister when he got the news of bird flu infection in Cambodia.
Health Minister did not reply there and then and has taken 30 days time in which he would do the research to give answer to Mr. Messenger. Issue is of concern as few days ago only FAO has warned countries against the comeback of avian flu which has become stronger due to the presence of resistant strain. This strain is immune to the existing vaccines in the market available for the flu.
If the report comes out positive then it could be a big problem as already these flying foxes have created havoc due to hendra virus spread. It is said that not hendra virus but flying foxes are host to many other serious infections like SARS, Nipah and Lyssa. So, if bird flu gets added to the list then it should soon be revealed to the public so precautionary measures could be taken up against it, rather than keeping this news under covers due to political benefits.

New Swine Flu in 2 U.S. Kids New Bug Has Gene From Pandemic Swine Flu; No Sign Yet of Human Spread
WebMD Health News 
Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD
Sept. 2, 2011 -- Two U.S. kids -- an Indiana boy and a Pennsylvania girl -- are the first human cases of a new swine flu bug.
Both kids fully recovered after suffering usual flu symptoms.
The two children had no contact with each other. Each caught the new flu in separate transmission events. The boy's case was reported on Aug. 17; the girl's on Aug. 24.
"We have been able to detect a novel flu virus," CDC spokesman Tom Skinner tells WebMD. "It is an H3N2 swine flu virus that has picked up a gene from 2009 H1N1. We are investigating whether human-to-human spread is occurring."
Human-to-human spread appears possible, as the boy seems to have been infected by a caretaker who had contact with pigs. But so far there's no evidence of sustained person-to-person spread. A preliminary investigation in Indiana found no spread of the virus beyond the infected boy.
This is far from the first time humans may have caught swine flu viruses directly from pigs. The CDC knows of 21 cases from December 2005 to December 2010.
But it's the first time the 2009 swine flu virus currently circulating in humans has recombined with an older swine flu bug. The new flu is a reassortment in which the old swine H3N2 virus incorporates a single structural gene from the 2009 H1N1 virus, says CDC virologist Mike Shaw, PhD.
This 2009 H1N1 gene is unlikely to make the bug cause more severe disease or to make it more easy to catch, he tells WebMD.
Preventing Swine Flu
Pigs actually got the H3N2 virus from humans. It's the flu bug that caused human disease in the 1990s.
Because the "H" and "N" components of flu bugs stimulate immune responses, many adults may already have at least partial immunity to the new H3N2 swine flu.
Not so for children. Both of the kids who came down with the new bug were under 5 years of age.
Both kids got their flu shots last September -- but it did not protect them against the new swine flu. The CDC confirms that the current flu shot is not expected to protect against the new virus.
While human spread doesn't yet seem to be happening, the CDC is on high alert. It's not yet flu season, but it is state fair season.
Shaw warns that people who come into contact with pigs -- particularly children -- may be susceptible to the new bug. People especially susceptible to flu -- including very young kids, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with suppressed immune systems -- should avoid contact with swine.
Why? If pigs in Pennsylvania and Indiana are infected, it's likely that pigs across North America are carrying the new flu bug.
"It is almost like the entire swine population in North America is one big herd," Shaw says. "That is because of movement the animals at many stages of production from breeding to slaughter."
People cannot get any kind of swine flu bug from eating pork.

Novel H3N2 swine flu viruses infected 2 children, CDC says
Robert Roos 
Sep 2, 2011 (CIDRAP News) – In separate instances, influenza A/H3N2 viruses circulating in swine picked up a gene from the pandemic 2009 H1N1 virus and recently infected two young children, one in Indiana and one in Pennsylvania, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported today.
Both of the children recovered, though one was briefly hospitalized, and there is no sign that the viruses spread from the children to others, but any evidence of ongoing transmission would require a rapid response, the CDC said.
The agency also said one of the children had no direct contact with pigs, which suggests he caught it from another person. Both children are under age 5.
The two viruses are similar to eight other swine-origin H3N2 viruses found in humans in the past 2 years, but they are unique in that they contain the matrix (M) gene from the 2009 H1N1 virus, the CDC reported in an early online posting in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). The two viruses are similar but not identical.
"I don't think these [viruses] have pandemic potential; it looks like both of these are sort of dead-end transmissions," Dr. Lyn Finelli, chief of the surveillance and outbreak response team in the CDC's influenza division, told CIDRAP News.
But she also commented, "One of the reasons we publish this data is that reassortment happens in swine viruses and in humans, so we always want to have surveillance in place so we can detect the next emerging reassortant. Viruses like these do have pandemic potential."
Though no further cases have been found, the report says, "If additional chains of transmission are identified rapid intervention is warranted [to] try to prevent further spread of the virus."
Case details
The first case involved an Indiana boy who got sick with a fever, cough, shortness of breath, diarrhea, and..

Among some 1,300 samples tested, no human swine influenza virus (pandemic H1N1) was detected. However, 16 samples taken in June and July were found to contain a virus that was essentially a swine influenza H3N2 virus but had picked up some genes of human swine influenza virus.Here are 3 more articles on a H3N2 & H1N1 combo:
Novel H3N2 swine flu viruses infected 2 children, CDC says
Robert Roos
Sep 2, 2011 (CIDRAP News) – In separate instances, influenza A/H3N2 viruses circulating in swine picked up a gene from the pandemic 2009 H1N1 virus and recently infected two young children, one in Indiana and one in Pennsylvania, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported today.
Both of the children recovered, though one was briefly hospitalized, and there is no sign that the viruses spread from the children to others, but any evidence of ongoing transmission would require a rapid response, the CDC said.
The agency also said one of the children had no direct contact with pigs, which suggests he caught it from another person. Both children are under age 5.

Canada's Wild Bird Survey for Avian Influenza Underway
September 02, 2011 12:18 ET
OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 2, 2011) - As wild birds begin their fall migration, Canada's seventh annual Inter-Agency Wild Bird Influenza Survey is underway. The survey is part of global efforts advocated by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to detect highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses that could threaten the agricultural sector and human health.
"The wild bird survey is an important part of Canada's avian influenza prevention and preparedness biosecurity strategy," said Dr. Brian Evans, Canada's Chief Veterinary Officer. "It's an early warning system designed to detect highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses such as the Eurasian strain of H5N1. To date this highly pathogenic H5N1 strain has never been found in Canada."
Earlier this week the OIE and the FAO noted the emergence of a new strain of the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus. While the OIE said that the genetic mutation is not an immediate cause for alert, both organizations recommended sustained monitoring of avian influenza viruses.
Canada's wild bird survey is carried out by the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre on behalf of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), the Public Health Agency of Canada, and Environment Canada, as well as provincial and territorial government partners and the US government.
If the survey were to detect a highly pathogenic virus in wild birds, the CFIA would alert producers in the area and conduct heightened surveillance in domestic poultry. The CFIA routinely monitors for avian influenza viruses in commercial flocks.
The survey includes testing of wild birds found dead, which is designed to detect highly pathogenic influenza viruses in the wild. The goal for 2011–2012 is to sample at least 3000 dead wild birds across Canada.
Anyone who finds a dead wild bird should contact the Canadian Cooperative Wild Life Health Centre at 1-866-544-4744 or visit the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre website at www.ccwhc.ca.
The survey also includes a live bird component intended to track the viruses circulating in the wild bird population, as well as the genetic changes and exchanges that occur in these viruses over multiple years. This year's survey will sample approximately 600 live ducks in the Prairies, and approximately 2000 in Quebec, Nunavut and the Maritime provinces.

From the CDC: Have You Heard? (Recent FAO Press Release)
September 1, 2011
Recent media coverage stemming from a Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) press release has contained misleading information about highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) viruses (“H5N1”) in Asia. Some of that media coverage has implied that there is a new, mutant variant H5N1 virus that is spreading in Asia, and that the risk to human health posed by this H5N1 virus has somehow been recently and dramatically raised. This is not true.
Highly pathogenic (deadly) avian influenza A (H5N1) virus infections in poultry and wild birds, resulting in high mortality, have been detected in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa since December of 2003. Currently, H5N1 viruses are widespread in poultry and wild birds in many countries in Asia, but rarely infect humans. When humans become ill with H5N1 virus infection, severe illness and death may occur. Sporadic human cases mainly occur after contact with infected poultry that were sick or dead, and have been reported in 15 countries. Like all influenza viruses, H5N1 viruses continue to evolve. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) conduct routine surveillance to monitor influenza viruses, including H5N1 viruses, for changes that may have implications for animal and public health. CDC and WHO surveillance efforts are geared toward human health. FAO and OIE are concerned with issues affecting food and agriculture.
Over time, H5N1 viruses have evolved into different groups, called “clades.” Since 2007, 12 different clades of H5N1 viruses have been identified. The FAO report and subsequent media stories focused on an H5N1 virus that has been given a nomenclature (name) of “clade 2.3.2.1”. However, this virus is not new. It was first detected in poultry during 2009 in Vietnam and evolved from viruses that had previously been circulating in Vietnam since 2005.CDC has been watching the evolution of all H5N1 viruses closely. Changes in viruses that WHO and CDC look for specifically are those that could increase the threat to human health. There is nothing to indicate that clade 2.3.2.1 viruses pose any greater threat to human health than any of the other H5N1 viruses. The clade 2.3.2.1 viruses are very active viruses and are spreading more widely in poultry and wild birds. While this increases the possibility of human exposures to infected birds or poultry, it does not increase their ability to infect and transmit between people. However, as part of the U.S. government’s pandemic preparedness activities, a 2.3.2.1 vaccine virus candidate to protect humans against this virus already has been created so that vaccine production could begin rapidly if this virus were to change to infect humans and spread easily from person to person. The vaccine virus candidate is an exact match to currently circulating 2.3.2.1 viruses.
CDC does not believe the risk from H5N1 to humans has increased; however, the evolution of H5N1 viruses has implications for the poultry industry in parts of the world where H5N1 viruses are widespread among poultry. In many of these countries, poultry is routinely vaccinated to protect against infection with H5N1 viruses, which is frequently deadly to them. Vaccination of poultry against avian influenza viruses is a tool used to protect a food asset. The FAO report was drawing attention to the fact that the H5N1 poultry vaccines currently being used in Vietnam do not protect poultry against the new H5N1 clades. This is because the viruses have evolved since the H5N1 poultry vaccine viruses were chosen in 1996. While this development highlights the importance of updating the antigen composition of all influenza vaccines, it does not have any bearing on the issue of protecting humans from this virus.
In summary, H5N1 influenza viruses have been circulating among birds for many years, some are highly pathogenic, and infections in humans are uncommon. There have been no recent changes that pose any additional risk to humans.

KUWAIT
CITY, Sept 1: The Ministry of Health has allayed fears of the possible
spread of a new strain of bird flu in Kuwait, reports Al-Anba daily
quoting sources.
Confirming the ministry closely monitors developments related to the virus in coordination with the World Health Organization (WHO), sources said the Kuwaiti missions abroad are following up events in countries where some cases have been discovered. Sources disclosed the ministry is working with all the concerned authorities to prevent the spread of the virus in the country, adding the Public Authority for Agriculture Affairs and Fish Resources (PAAAFR) has been instructed to thoroughly check all the birds and livestock entering Kuwait to ensure they are not infected with the virus.
It has been reported that a new strain of the virus recently spread in Vietnam, while other countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Japan and some parts of Korea are at risk.

South Africa: Western Cape Govt Prevents Chaos in the Already Suffering Ostrich Industry
http://allafrica.com/stories/201109020201.html
1 September 2011
The ostrich industry has been faced with an export ban on ostrich meat due to Avian Influenza since April this year, with losses amounting to R108 million per month. Forced slaughtering is required by international law on farms testing positive for the virus. To date, more than 33 000 birds have been culled in the greater Oudtshoorn area.
National Government compensated farmers for culled birds to the tune of R33 million, but on Friday (26/08) it came to light that no more money will be forthcoming from the National Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. Many farmers have already culled on the assumption that they will be compensated, and farmers who were in line to cull resisted when they learned that there was a R17 million shortfall in compensation funds.
The Western Cape Government Economic and Infrastructure Strategic Committee and Budget Policy Committee, chaired by Minister Alan Winde, held emergency meetings this week and recommended that the R17 million be allocated from a provincial contingency fund. This recommendation was yesterday (31/08) approved by Cabinet.

Vietnam battles FMD and AI
[2 September 2011]
Vietnam has been struck by the foot-and-mouth disease again. It has emerged in two provinces, affecting hundreds of cattle and pigs. The disease was detected in nine villages of Luc Yen district in the northern mountainous province of Yen Bai and in Son Tinh district in the central province of Quang Ngai. Earlier, local authorities launched a vaccination program to protect livestock, but due to insufficient volume of vaccine doses, a large number of animals were not immunized. Meanwhile, bird flu was reported to afflict poultry in Quang Ngai province.

DENR alerts all entry ports in East Visayas vs bird flu carriers
PIA Press Release
Friday, September 02, 2011
TACLOBAN CITY, Leyte, September 2 (PIA) -– An alert to all entry ports against the entry of wild birds infected with the deadly avian flu disease was recently issued by Regional Executive Director Rogelio T. Trinidad of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
In his directive, Trinidad instructed his field officers to “closely coordinate with other government agencies and local government units to monitor all entry ports” to make sure that no exotic birds and other wildlife are illegally transported from bird flue infected countries.
The alert issued comes in the heels of a heightened alert issued by the UN Food and
Agricultural Organization against a deadlier strain of avian flu virus, Ms. Purification Daloos, OIC Public Affairs Office said in a report.
On Monday, the UN warned of a possible resurgence of the deadly bird flu virus, saying that wild bird migration could have brought back the virus (H5N1) to the previously virus free areas and that a mutant strain was spreading in Asia.
In order to prevent any breakout of the avian flu disease in the Region, Trinidad has ordered enhanced surveillance of the seaports in Liloan, Southern Leyte for entry from Mindanao and in Allen, Northern Samar to prevent the entry from Luzon of any wilds birds suspected to be infested with the bird flu.
The attention of the Wildlife Enforcement Officers from partner agencies was also called for them to assist the DENR in the monitoring and surveillance of all entry points.
The Regional Executive Director called on the public to be vigilant and to help keep Region 8 bird flu free.
The public is advised not to buy, touch, hunt, kill or eat migratory birds and other wildlife as they may be carriers of bird flu.

Vietnam: 9 yo treated for H1N1 - HCMC
On 1 / 9, HCMC Hospital for Tropical Diseases, said the hospital being treated for boys QPH 9 years old (live District 6, HCMC) influenza A/H1N1.
Previous three days, patients breathe tired, cough, high fever, signs of respiratory distress and was transferred to a hospital emergency department. Patients hospitalized in a state of dyspnea, cyanosis, severe respiratory distress, lung injury, the number of leukocytes in the blood lower. The doctors advised, people should not subjective to H1N1 because the initial symptoms of the disease is quite similar to common respiratory diseases.
