Disease control specialists still in Mexico and the United States swine flu epidemic in a way, to search for suspected cases and are working in this country.
Swine flu that?
Swine flu is a respiratory disease that infected pigs. Influenza type A, the spread of the disease in pigs due to regular high-level cases are rarely fatal to the well.
The disease in the winter and spring, but the cycle of infection is a goal for the year is. The flu in humans, pigs and many types of flu as the disease is changing constantly are doing.
What can people infected swine flu?
However, sporadic cases also occur in humans, usually pig flu, and the worm is not usually associated with pigs are. Human to human transmission in very rare cases is on the Notes.
Human transmission of swine flu in human seasonal flu to spread like - through sneezing, cough, and is estimated to be. Yet in the current outbreak of the disease that has infected humans is not clear was the Man.
The symptoms of swine flu in humans Human seasonal flu like symptoms appears.
The flu is a new kind of pig?
World Health Organization, which in some cases at least one influenza H1N1 type that never existed in a version is confirmed.
H1N1 virus on a regular basis that causes seasonal flu in humans have. However, H1N1 is different to the new versions: the virus load of the specific genetic material found in viruses that infect humans, birds and pigs.
Flu virus, H1N1, and the possibility of a new version of a potential exchange for other genetic factors that one animal source in the various different versions of the virus is the result of a combination.
It safe to eat is pork?
There no evidence of pig flu infected animal through the consumption of meat spreads. However, the meat should be cooked well done, 70C temperature will kill the virus.
Whether citizens should be worried?
When the flu is that if the epidemic is likely to look carefully control the ability to spread from human to human is for a new type is shown.
WHO Mexico and the United States in cases of a possible global epidemic and this situation can cause seriously affirm warns.
Still, who says right now is too soon to assess the situation. At present, about the status of the WHO since 1968 - a three-level six threat scale than in previous years, this is a flu pandemic is coming.
No one fully knows the impact of epidemic disease, but experts in the world can reach millions of people dying victim warning. Which began in 1819 and the Spanish flu caused by H1N1 virus epidemic, killing millions of people.
The fact that in this case in the U.S. is good news so far shown signs of light. While in Mexico and possibility of the spread of the factors that has happened in other areas of the world that are not always caused by a small possibility.
However, the fact that does not show a majority of the young victims. Old age is usually engulf seasonal flu.
How about the treatment and vaccine?
United States Government two flu drugs, Tami flu and Relenza are used for treatment, says that so far seems effective in the cases. Uncertain that the effectiveness of the flu virus from the new people there now is to save the vaccine, because the genetic type of flu is different from the others.
United States scientists, have developed a new vaccine, but needs time to refine and to meet the demand for production is adequate.
How about bird flu?
That the bird flu in recent years in South East Asia due to the flu from pigs that died of infection is different from the type. Of a new swine flu H1N1 is a new form, while bird flu is H5N1.
Experts because of a potential H5N1 pendemy capacity as soon mutation fear. But so far the disease is still a bird disease.
Infected poultry and the transmission of the human cases, the human is very rare - there from the H5N1 can spread is by no signs are associated with human to human easily.
