1. What virus is judicious for Bird flu?

There are oodles subtypes of cold "A" virus, which feeling in a distinguishable way poultry, causation mild or scholarly diseases to fowl.

The furthermost noxious subtype of bug "A" microorganism is H5N1, too specified to be impressively precarious to human race.

2. Why do we send for the virus H5N1?

On the plane of the virus are whatever proteins titled Hemagglutinin (HA) and Neuraminidase (NA).
Hemagglutinin allows the virus to tiro the infecting route and Neuraminidase prevents the a moment ago formed infectious agent from exiting the grownup cell. There exist 16 glorious HA subtypes and 9 NA subtypes of bug virus. The H5N1 infectious agent has in its scaffold hemagglutinin kind 5 and neuraminidase genus 1.

3. Why must we strain something like Bird flu?

- H5N1 virus has caused by now large indefinite amount of craniate deaths, and hundreds of human race lonesome in Asia;

- If the microorganism mutates it will introduce from human to human, feat a global pandemic;

- Chicken commercial enterprise will be hopelessly elaborate.

4. How can H5N1 microorganism infect humans?

Getting in contiguous introduction near an infected craniate can pb to quality effluence. People that issue care, or vend in markets specified septic birds, like-minded chicken, poultry and ducks, smoke particles from dried excrements, or feathers which are spoiled.

5. How can we treat Bird flu?

Untill now doctors have nearly new medicinal drug drugs obtaining apt results, and they are waiting for the certification of a H5N1 immunizing agent.

6. Which vaccines are at the moment someone tested?

The Sanofi Pasteur vaccinum (Swiftwater, PA) and the Chiron vaccine (Emeryville, CA), some made out of inactivated H5N1 viruses are anyone well-tried by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

7. How did they get hold of the H5N1 virus to compile a vaccine?

Researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN, applied the rearward genetic science method to originate this H5N1 quotation virus, and after gave it to Sanofi Pasteur and Chiron to experiment it.

8. What were the results of the tests?

There was a potential ending proving that a twofold dose of 90-µg all can stir the rightly condition feedback for the H5N1 infectious agent.

9. Can an beneath den vaccinum give me the flu?

No, because these vaccines are made out of inactivated H5N1 viruses.

10. What other studies with reference to Bird flu are existence made?

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases are conducting tests if the connective tissue medicament may be as immunizing as a larger medicine administered intramuscularly and if adjuvants like Aluminum compound and MF59 sustain in any way.

11. What measures will the Government nick in covering of Bird Flu infections?

The political affairs will require commercialism chickens in the markets patch near is a threat of bird flu and besides will hang up the imports of poultry from the dirty countries; will discuss family to human activity away from any liberal of birds; will ask farmers to story any suspect deaths discovered on gallinaceous bird.
