It 'started as a natural influenza virus is naturally in wild birds carrying the virus in the intestines, but usually do not get sick of them. However, avian influenza is very contagious among birds and can some domestic birds, including making chickens, ducks and turkeys, very sick and kill them.
Avian influenza is not normally infect species other than birds and pigs. But the man came with the bird flu in Hong Kong in 1997 when the H5N1 strainInfected 18 people, including 6 deaths
What is avian flu, and because we are killing the chickens?
More recently, a virulent form of bird flu has swept through 10 countries in Asia and killed thousands of chickens and ducks, and possibly wild birds as well. In four countries, China, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam has the flu and people infected, most of whom were believed to be in close contact with infected chickens. The governments of these countries have killed millions of birdsin an attempt to stop the spread.
Avian influenza viruses do not infect humans, as a rule, however, occurred more than 100 confirmed cases of infection with avian influenza viruses since 1997, according to World Health Organization.
The difference in virus known as H5N1, compared with human influenza and pneumonia is that bird flu is spreading in the form of the body in a fast pace and rapidly affects the lungs fill with fluid. Symptoms include: throat, fever, headache, coughin some deaths, severe breathing difficulties caused by a viral pneumonia.
What is avian flu and why people think it will make a pandemic?
What health authorities fear that the H5N1 virus can mutate rapidly and reaches the genetic material of the virus to other animals. There have been infected then there is the real possibility of causing large-scale human infection by a mutation of a new virus from humans,with both avian and human influenza viruses at the same time. The birds are infected, the greater the risk to humans and the increased likelihood that a new "super virus" could be formed.
If this is the case then the virus, such as a cold, it could spread very rapidly and cause high mortality rates - particularly the young, the elderly and people who are already sick.
What is avian flu, and there is a vaccine? While the vaccine Tamiflu caneffective against the avian influenza virus is a scarce commodity. The other important factor is that there is no guarantee that this vaccine will be effective against the new mutant strain of the virus and health officials point out that this could be for many months.
What is avian influenza and what can I do to protect myself?
Best advice is to avoid the possibility of exposure and to stimulate the immune system through a healthy diet (more omega-3 fatty acids, lessOf sugar, fried foods and omega-6) and start supplementing with nutrients known to improve the functioning of the immune system - such as selenium and vitamins A, C and E.
Abstract
Avian influenza or the H5N1 virus is found naturally in wild birds and can be spread to domestic chickens and pigs.
Recently, human infections have in several countries in Asia due to contact with infected birds and pigs.
The virus is very human through the Youngrapidly and affects the lungs fill with fluid.
Health officials are spreading about the possibility of human contamination has been hit with a new and highly lethal virus that can spread easily from person to person develops an ANDS would cause high mortality.
Although there is a vaccine against the H5N1 bird flu virus is to provide concise and made no resistance to a new avian influenza virus.
Antioxidant supplements are very effective in strengthening theD immune systems provide a natural protection against the virus
