H1N1 have equal aggressiveness to that of previous years, study says

BRASILIA - genetic Sequenciamento done by the Institute Evandro Chagas in samples of virus of flu collected in ten States of the North and of the Northeast shows that the H1N1 is not more aggressive than in previous years. The study shows that the capacity of the vine plant to provoke diseases and of be propagating in the population if it maintained unchanged. The conclusion knocks down the hypothesis, presented for infectologistas, of what the rise of the cases might be associated to a potential more offensive of the virus.

The study also shows that the predominance of the H1N1 between the patients with Respiratory Sharp Serious Syndrome (SRAG) reached 100 % of the samples collected in the public net of two regions. Similar result was not registered from 2009, year of the pandemia caused by the influenza A.

For the investigator of the Laboratory of Respiratory Virus of the institute, Mirleide of the Saints, the speed of the proliferation of the H1N1 is tied to other factors. One of the hypotheses would be the increase of the number of foreign travelers in Brazil during December and January provoked by the favorable exchange. ? Part of the tourists can have reached the Country carrying the virus, what found a sensitive population ?, it affirmed.

According to the investigator of the IEC Mirleide Cordeiro of the Saints, the study left from a preoccupation: in last year, changes were identified in the H1N1 that circulated in India and led to a great epidemic in the country. These changes found in the gene that encodes the hemaglutinina, protein that has like function landlady ties the virus to the cell, led to a bigger patogenicidade of the virus. That means that he had a capacity bigger to provoke symptoms from the entry in the organism of the patient.
The scientists of the IEC resolved sequenciar part of the genoma of the H1N1 to check if the virus in circulation in Brazil had same this changes. The result was that they are not present. ? Regarding this gene, the virus is not any more a patog?nico of what what circulated in 2009 or 2013 (years that had epidemics of H1N1 in Brazil) ?, Mirleide says.
The discovery secures that the vine plant of the virus in circulation is same of the vaccine against available influenza today. Mirleide notices that, since the H1N1 is a virus that takes RNA as a genetic material, he presents a great genetic variability, and can suffer changes of a station for other one. To know that the current virus did not suffer these harmful changes identified in India, so, it is a good piece of news.

In the cities of S?o Paulo, were identified 883 cases of H1N1, 23.4% more than indicated in the bulletin anterior.A disease, however, it begins to spread to other states.
