Epidemiology of Avian Influenza
2008While in the past decade the epidemiology of both low and highly pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI/HPAI) has changed considerably, much was learned from newly established global surveillance systems to monitor LPAI and HPAI viruses in migratory birds.

A review of the avian influenza A/H5N1 virus, including human cases, viral transmission, clinical features, vaccines and antivirals, surveillance plans, infection control, and emergency response plans, is presented.The World Health Organization (WHO) considers the avian influenza A/H5N1 virus a public health risk with pandemic potential.

Avian influenza, or influenza A (H5N1), has 3 of the 4 properties necessary to cause a serious pandemic: It can infect people, nearly all people are immunologically naive, and it is highly lethal. The Achilles heel of the virus is the lack of sustained human-human transmission.

Pandemic influenza is inevitable, will have significant impact on the population and will challenge healthcare delivery. Planning for an influenza pandemic will improve the ability of healthcare facilities to respond successfully.Planning activities involve determining the role of the facility during an influenza pandemic, estimating resources ...

During the 2003 to 2004 outbreak of avian influenza A (H5N1) virus in Asia, there were anecdotal reports of fatal infection in domestic cats, although this species is considered resistant to influenza. We experimentally inoculated cats with H5N1 virus intratracheally and by feeding them virus-infected chickens. The cats excreted virus, developed severe

SummaryThe diagnosis of avian influenza (AI) virus infections, even highly pathogenic AI (HPAI), represents a considerable challenge due to the lack of pathognomonic or specific clinical signs and their variation in different avian hosts plus the marked antigenic variation amongst influenza A viruses.

During the last months of 2003, outbreaks of avian flu caused by influenza A (H5N1) virus were described in eight Asian countries, and has paralleled an epidemic of human influenza caused by the same avian virus A (H5N1). Between December 26, 2003 and October 13, 2005, there had been 117 documented human infections and 60 deaths (mortality, 51%) in ...
