Because of avian influenza, more and more soul waft out especially in our homeland. Panic? Not necessary I think. Attentive? Definite!
It is true that the infection of influenza virus among human hasn’t happened, unlike the horrible epidemic in 1918 that struck more than 50 million victims all over the world. Scientists strive to find the innovation, in case to create the effective preventiv vaccine, as if the time will show them the way.
There is a good news from research world at last several time. Some scientists said that they had known about how influenza virus that desimenated by bird could attack human. The more sophisticated, they are optimist that this invention could become a pace maker to find new vaccine which is not only rot out the mortal avian influenza, but also all kinds of influenza viruses.
There are so many avian influenza hereditaries, but only a few that can exceed the infection obstacle from animal to human. The hereditari which is known by H1 and H3 are the most common hereditaries, and the most important thing, it is very efficient in attacking cells in the upper part of respiratory system.
On the other way, the variant from H5 virus only restricted in wild fowl or pet. However, if the virus infect human, commonly it can cause the death. Because human body defends can not diagnose and avoide these new pathogen.
Avian influenza virus is H5 variant, H5N1. WHO (World Health Organization) said, from 348 cases which is clasified infected by avian influenza virus H5N1 positively, it has around 216 death victims. It means, the death ratealmost more than sixty percent. The most thing to be frightened by medical official is new hereditary form H5 virus which is easily move from animal to human, and potentialy spread the pandemic that happened in 1918-1919 and killed millions people.
The latest study published in English journal, Nature researchers scientific comprehension about how that virus attaches itself on the cells of human’s lung.
