Prevent the bird flu is only one key, we must be diligent hand-washing before meals. many people who are still reluctant to simply wash their hands before eating, and all day activities often touch the poultry. to maintain hygiene awareness is closely related to bird flu prevention. especially those that have appealed to residents to maintain the cleanliness of the cattle barn. there are 6 phases of pandemic influenza. First, the absence of a new influenza virus subtypes in humans and there is infection in animals (poultry) with the risk of transmission to humans.

Next, humans infected with a new influenza virus subtype, there is no transmission from human to human or if it happened because a very close relationship. Indonesia has now reached the 3rd phase of this or pandemic alert period.

Furthermore, the fourth phase ie human to human contagion in small clusters and is localized in a small area. Phase-5, a large cluster though it is still localized and the virus begins to adapt to humans.

Last phase, the transmission increased and sustained transmission in humans. Only after that there is a decrease of transmission or post-pandemic period.

The fear that pandemic is growing with the confirmation of new cases of the disease in birds. the import of birds from affected countries. U.S., meanwhile, has called for an international coalition to tackle the problem.

Avian influenza is an infectious disease of birds caused by type A strains of influenza virus. This disease was first identified in Italy more than a hundred years ago, occurs worldwide.

It is believed that all birds are susceptible to avian influenza, though some species are more resistant to infection than others. Infection causes a wide spectrum of symptoms in birds, ranging from mild illness to a highly contagious and rapidly fatal disease resulting in severe epidemics. The latter is what is known as “highly pathogenic avian influenza. This variant is characterized by sudden onset, severity of symptoms and rapid death, with a mortality that can approach 100%.

Are known 15 subtypes of influenza viruses that infect birds, thus providing an extensive reservoir of influenza viruses potentially circulating in bird populations To date, all outbreaks of the highly pathogenic form have been caused by subtypes H5 and H7 A.

Migratory waterfowl – notably wild ducks – are the natural reservoir of avian influenza viruses, and these birds are also the most resistant to infection. The domestic poultry, including chickens and turkeys are particularly susceptible to epidemics of rapidly fatal influenza.

The direct or indirect contact of domestic flocks with wild migratory waterfowl has been implicated as a frequent cause of epidemics. Live bird markets are another important link in the spread of epidemics.

A constantly mutating virus
All influenza viruses type A, including those that regularly cause seasonal epidemics in humans, are genetically labile and well adapted to elude host defenses. Influenza viruses lack mechanisms for the “proofreading” and repair of errors that occur during replication. As a result of these uncorrected errors, the genetic makeup of the viruse changes as they replicate in humans and animals, and the existing strain is replaced with a new antigenic variant. These constant changes and generally small in the antigenic composition of influenza A virus is what is called “drift” antigen.

The vaccination campaign against swine flu is progressing in many regions of Germany, less than a week after starting slow. On the one hand provide primary care physicians more aware of non-vaccination. On the other hand was, at least in Stuttgart Baden-Wuerttemberg Ministry of Social Affairs vaccine provided significantly lower than expected in July. Lower Saxony had been postponed because of supply disruptions launch of the swine flu vaccination for a week next Monday. Instead Pandemix 900,000 doses per week, was reached in the first margin of 200,000 and 112,000 seconds in Baden-Wuerttemberg.

The situation is similar throughout the country, said a spokesman for the manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline. The problems were teething low in manufacturing. Priority will be vaccinated hospital employees, police, firefighters and the chronically ill. They are responsible for the delay in delivery according to the manufacturer’s original concerns. “At the top are not the seed virus for vaccines can be multiplied as well as expected,” she said. Draw it became apparent that the number would fall below target in July from 8.3 million doses per month nationally significant yet. Meanwhile, the company has optimized the production process: “We see an upward trend.
Number of pig influenza deaths in Germany rose by

The number of swine flu deaths in Germany on Friday had risen from three to six. At the national level for the first time a man with no known history of the consequences of the new flu has died. The 48-year-old woman was transferred from another hospital or intensive care unit of University Hospital of Bonn, but in spite of artificial ventilation could not be saved.

The mother of the Rhein-Sieg-Kreis leaves four children and a husband. Saarland died in a chronically ill, Augsburg five years in a child with severe disability and 16 years of age, the swine flu. In the U.S., meanwhile, the influenza medicine as  Tamiflu in liquid form in providing short term. The CDC U. S. Epidemiological Authority gave all remaining emergency reserves of flu free agent in liquid form, which is especially suitable for children.
