People susceptible to infection or bird flu mutation in Egypt

[Treyfish]

Out that the bird flu virus can infect humans and birds from the dead (H5N1) viruses were collected from chickens in Egypt and among the findings of mutations that make it easier for people infected with microorganisms, Osaka University compiled by 07 research groups from Egypt, Alexandria University Adjunct Fellow of the Institute for Watanabe Youhei disease.

Watanabe added, "In Egypt and the increasing number of H5N1 human infection of the virus may be the cause. Infect humans and spread easily, but still not considered, the virus must be closely monitored "he said. 08 Japanese Society for Virology at the announcement conference in Tokushima City.
Against the bird flu virus infection is usually on the viral surface proteins can bind, "bird-type receptor" is limited to cells with. Upper airway receptors of the type of person who does not have a bird-type receptor, the virus infects birds easily to people.
Watanabe et al, but between 2007 and analyzing the genes of the virus from chickens and ducks were collected in Egypt in 09 years, and some mutations in viral surface proteins were bound to make it easier to human receptors. :tiphat:http://translate.googleusercontent....le.com&usg=ALkJrhiEvVYidRw-VTd7nbPJUi_t8uVnzQ

Responsible global health: bird flu pass from person to person through the next four years


Warned Dr. Mustafa Orhan Director of the Regional Centre for Avian Health Organization's global mutation of bird flu, that he had the ability to transfer infection from an infected person to another sound, it was only after the previous transmission from infected birds to humans.

Said Orhan, said that with the onset of winter and low temperatures the virus spreads and multiplies again, but this year and years to come will be more dangerous than its predecessor, because the large number of human contact with birds may lead to the mutation of the disease, and HIV transmission from birds to humans, then after a period passed from one person infected to a healthy person, and expected this to occur during the next four years, "one hundred per cent."

And returned Orhan return of the disease is a worrying phenomenon in Egypt to the inaction of the citizens and the various actors in the control efforts, making the disease is due to appear again, but are stronger, in addition to the absence of an effective control on the market, neighborhoods and villages, where there are still shops selling live birds, and the citizens raising birds alive, despite what this represents the seriousness, in addition to the lack of control over farm random.

He continued: We are not in need of action or new laws, but laws must be implemented without prior inaction or neglect, while working to increase citizen awareness of the seriousness of the disease and how to avoid infection, prevention and actions to be taken at the onset of illness.
He warned of disaster scientific Orhan expected to occur because of frequent human contact with birds, an association of the bird flu virus H5N1, and swine influenza virus H1N1, generates a new third smoother within the human, which will be generated down the human contact with birds or pigs.

The generation of such smooth the resulting new would be a real disaster can not be limited as it is after which the infection from an infected person to another sound, and said that the large mixing birds will inevitably lead to mutation of the disease from human to human through the four years the next one hundred per cent, because Egypt did not able to eliminate the avian flu so far, although the disease when income was entered Africa through Egypt and Nigeria in 2006, and succeeded in eliminating the last in Egypt did not succeed in doing so.

Orojan denied the rumors about the buried dead birds in the soil will cause the transmission to humans, arguing that the soil, proximity to groundwater, noting that this is not true scientifically, because the disease is transmitted to humans through breathing and not swallowing.

The fact that the danger in the coming period is in certain types of birds: the ducks and geese because the holder of the disease does not show symptoms of the disease, such as chicken, and thus it is possible to be infected with the disease and is transmitted to birds, and then to humans.

He added: Therefore, should the state do the resolution issued by the Ministry of Health since last July not to breeding birds and sell them alive, because if committed citizens to these instructions will be able to sizing of the seriousness of the disease, as well as the need to exercise the necessary precautions in the process of slaughtering infected birds.:tiphat:http://translate.google.com/transla...=en&u=http://www.alshaab.com/news.php?i=26092
