Research risk recombinant influenza among people with flu animals
TT - Dr. Maciej Boni, clinical research unit of the University of Oxford (UK), said so at the seminar on flu in Vietnam on 19-12.
According to Dr. Maciej Boni, A/H1N1/09 flu pandemic is causing the most number of lightly infected, but there is concern of pathogenic viruses can change through re-combination with other influenza virus . It is more than considerable concern in Southeast Asia, where high population density, less flu occur seasonally, contact between humans and animals occurs regularly and H5N1 are still circulating.
Dr. Maciej Boni left for to evaluate the risk of recombinant influenza virus A/H1N1/09 with animals and clinical studies unit of Oxford University developed a mathematical model track down school infections in people in who feed cattle and poultry in Vietnam. Can be estimated about 0.5 million pigs, a million ducks and four million chickens exposed to flu virus if there is a new recombinant between A/H1N1/09 with influenza virus strains in animals. http://www.tuoitre.com.vn/Tianyon/In...0&ChannelID=12
