Swine Flu Virus information

Swine flu is also known that the virus H1N1, and a number of other names such as pigs and swine flu, swine flu, etc. and the swine flu virus is a descendant of the family of flu viruses that are often endemic in pigs. The swine flu virus is common in all parts of the world, but for the transfer of the virus from pigs to humans is not very common, and not necessarily the cause of human influenza. This usually leads to the production of antibodies in the course of human blood. When such transfer does not create a human influenza, as is well known animal swine flu. These people who are exposed to pigs than others, have more chance of getting infected with the swine flu. But the pork will not carry any virus with it once it has been well cooked. zootonic symptoms of swine flu in humans are flu symptoms such as regular faced by human beings. Chills, fever, sore throat, headache, cough and pain in the joints and muscles do not need to be experienced if you are not only suffering from influenza, but also the swine flu. And thus the latter becomes more stringent for diagnose.The the major causes of swine flu have been identified and work on research for the production of carryion immunity to the disease.

During 1918, swine flu for the first time that influenza is a disease-related human, and this was understandable when the pigs and humans have grown sick together. But the definition of the first of the influenza disease in pigs did not occur until at least ten years later. Over the 60 years that followed, the swine H1N1 strains were mostly flue. Later in the latest strains of three different sub-types and five different genes and found that the cause of swine flu in pigs in North America. Other strains that have emerged and strains from humans and pigs, birds, and these together form quickly spread the virus of swine flu that, if discovered too late, for reasons of life of the victim to grow fatal.

Version of swine flu H1N1 is one of the strains that caused the 1918 flu pandemic. Descendants of this virus could spread among humans in all parts of the Horn of 20th. This situation was compounded by the regular seasonal epidemics of influenza that typically affect humans. However, it is rare that the virus may get transferred from pigs to humans directly, and only 12 such cases were found in the United States. But if that does not mean that the swine flu is less likely to affect humans, do not live in denial as it does not take much to restore its own epidemic. Despite the outbreak of swine flu in pigs are common and are rarely found in humans, or at least the studies said, it is shocking how things seem to have changed and turned the tables in the most recent epidemic of swine flu. Many of falling victim to the swine, each of which could be very responsible, and even more cautious.

Nepal got Swine Flu Spreads

Most patients are men aged between 15 and 45 years, with 106 cases, is about 60 percent. However, the ministry said more than 99 percent of cases were mild and patients are treated immediately.

The first case of swine flu was announced in June, when three members of the Nepali family from the United States tested positive for the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu.

Then, even though massive explosions were reported in western areas of Baglung and Parbat last month, are reported dead.

In light of the swine flu over 880 deaths in neighboring India, Nepal, which has hundreds of migrant workers is likely to live in fear of the number of recalls infected with HIV and AIDS are spreading the Republic of India closed in the past.

It also said that villages along the Indian border forces sick people from their homes amid fears that they could have a contract swine flu during their stay in India.

Figures just through the pause in activity of swine influenza - infection peaked in October, and declined since then, these days, and fewer people who claim to be vaccinated. Some even call for a pandemic virus are more vulnerable.

A lot of warnings from experts in infectious diseases "only a few months ago. By this time, we were told to prepare ourselves for the population as much as half of the patients, 90,000 deaths, drowning in the intensive care unit and the absence of collective action in schools and workplaces.

What Precautions You Can Take in Swine Flu

We are now (more |) more vulnerable to various strains of influenza virus. At first we were terrified of the bird flu virus, but in recent swine influenza has become more worried. Swine flu is more serious than the bird flu ever. There are fears that bird flu could change in voltage that would infect humans, but a few cases, but this did not materialize. Swine influenza was more relaxed, he has the ability to pass between people, so it is a very serious threat.

Swine influenza (flu (H1N1) is a disease that attacks the pigs is the result of the influenza virus. Outbreaks of swine fever flu is not unusual and is rarely fatal. In the past, swine influenza is not normally infect humans, but can sometimes happen.

Swine flu is very dangerous because it is a new type of virus. This is dangerous because no one has been exposed to this strain of flu before and that nobody has built immunity to this strain of flu. For us it is built immunity to prevent diseases from becoming life threatening, have no immunity to the virus of swine influenza, a serious danger. Absolutely everyone is vulnerable, including healthy adults and adolescents, and young children and the elderly.

The real concern is what happens when flu season begins in winter. This is when the virus can spread rapidly to cause an influenza pandemic with the potential for more than half the population may be infected.

The symptoms of swine flu symptoms are similar to seasonal flu. They may include sudden onset of fever, cough, shortness of breath. Other symptoms that may occur include headache, sore throat, muscle aches, chills, sneezing, runny nose, loss of appetite and fatigue.

Preventive measures to be someone with a cold or flu symptoms should be taken in a few simple but important steps. Influenza virus is transmitted between people by droplets from the nose and mouth when sneezing and a cough. This is the way of virus spread from person to person. Holding his nose and mouth, his hands when sneezing or coughing is not enough. Bacteria live on the hands, and everything that happens after contact infected. Anyone who touches you touch something and then take the risk of viral infection. Therefore, always use a cloth or tissue. Tissue is better, it should be removed as soon as possible, try to use the new tissue when sneezing or coughing again.

At this point, vaccination is not someone stop hunting fever flu. Swine influenza virus is a new virus strain, and not the same as seasonal flu. Vaccination against normal seasonal flu is not effective against influenza virus in pigs. Although the strain of flu virus which causes swine flu identified, it will take several months to produce. At that time, it can be changed into another strain again.

The only real effective measures against swine flu is Tamiflu. Tamiflu is not guaranteed to prevent flu, but when a person is exposed to another person swine influenza virus may help prevent the virus that person is sick. If Tamiflu is taken within two days of developing flu, may help stop the spread of virus throughout the body, thereby reducing the symptoms and risks. Governments around the world, the intensity of Tamiflu, the stocks, of course, used to treat essential workers and people before starting treatment in the general population.

Swine Flu vaccine has mercury inside

Recently, it was confirmed that the swine flu vaccine is to keep timerosal based on condom use mercury. In fact, one study suggests that the amount of vaccine each timerosal to a full dose of mercury. In addition to the risks of mercury, also confirmed that the nasal spray contains live virus, which has led to fears that the deal with a table of live virus in hospitals across the country.

The concern with the live virus, infecting even those who do not receive the vaccine through a nasal spray form, resulted in some hospitals in Mississippi and other states near the government's proposals of the vaccine swine flu nasal spray for health professionals.

Mercury is a toxin associated with autism and neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. The timerosal widely used in the field of vaccines and immunization as a preservative.

Although both centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Institute of Medicine, deny the link between the use of timerosal that have a causal relationship between vaccination and an increased incidence of autism, an epidemiologist Tom Verstraeten, and Dr. Richard Johnston, immunologists and pediatrics, University of Colorado, and concluded that timerosal is responsible for the sharp increase of cases of autism, but its findings were rejected by the CDC.

Studies have shown that the prevalence of autism has increased 1500% since 1991, when compulsory vaccinations for children in two respects. Until 1991, only 1 in every 2500 children diagnosed with autism. This figure is now 1 in 166 children.

Studies on the effects of mercury in the system has been going on for over a quarter century. Even in 1977 a study was conducted in Russia have shown that adults tend to etilmercurio, a form of mercury in timerosal, suffered brain damage years later.

Studies on the timerosal poisoning also describe tubular necrosis and a nervous system, including obnubilació, coma and death. As a result of these findings, Russia banned the timerosal vaccines for children in 1980. Denmark, Austria, Japan, Britain and all Scandinavian countries have also banned the preservative.

According to an article in the Washington Post in July 2009, despite the concerns expressed by timerosal and mercury, which led to the preservation of being reduced or eliminated most of the vaccine in the past five years, the ingredients timerosal H1N1 vaccine.

"Some of the vaccines will be stored in containers that contain multiple timerosal, an antibacterial additive, which contains mercury.

"It will also be a single dose syringe without timerosal, but not yet confirmed if consumers have choice, or even be informed if they offer the vaccine contains mercury.

According to the AP article was reported in early July, "the authorities of the vaccine and federal officials would be immune from legal processes that result in any new vaccine against swine flu, according to a document signed by Minister of Health and Human Services Human Kathleen Sebelius, because the government has already taken steps to allow them full immunity claims.

Treat to pregnant women who got swine flu

Boston (DbTechNo) - The World Health Organization issued a statement urging doctors not to expect a high risk to human anti-viral drugs to combat swine flu.

The swine flu vaccine can be administered, it is recommended that determined by laboratory confirmation, but in some cases the delay in the vaccine dangerous to the health of certain people.

If the clinical symptoms of swine influenza virus emerges, physicians should administer antivirals to the immediate risk of infection very reduced.

Pregnant women and other high-risk groups, such as the diseases people are especially at risk to contract the virus, because the already weakened immune system.

WHO doctor Dr Nikki Shindo, says that early administration of antiviral drugs for people with a high risk that it will significantly reduce the risk of complecations.

Since April, when the virus was identified in Mexico, it has spread around the world, killing thousands of people and infect hundreds of thousands more.

Sign & symptoms of swine flu

Most of the human race is now aware of the outbreak of swine flu news - but what we are aware of symptoms of H1N1 virus? We know how to prevent, but the symptoms are still a mystery in our minds. Well, this article gives the view that if you have been such a virus H1N1 virus.

But before we go to them first about H1N1. 3 / 10% of the world's population is estimated to affect the annual flu epidemic may result in serious illness for patients and cause 3-4 million deaths in the world, 200000-400000. Serious illness and death occurs mainly in high-risk population, children, the elderly, chronically ill and pregnant women in industrialized countries.

In addition to these annual epidemics of influenza A virus caused three major global pandemics during the 20th century was the Spanish flu in 1918, Asian flu in 1957 and was the 1968-69 Hong Kong flu. These pandemics were caused by viruses of influenza, which had undergone significant genetic changes, because the population has no immunity significantly.

Pigs of influenza infection produces fatigue, sneezing, fever, cough, shortness of breath and decreased appetite. In some cases, especially in pregnant women, the infection can cause abortion. Although mortality is generally low (around 1-3%), the virus can cause weight loss and poor growth, causing economic losses to farmers. Pigs infected can lose up to 10 kg in weight during 2-3 weeks.

The main symptoms of H1N1 viruses in humans may live and H1N1 virus from pigs to humans is sometimes possible (known as zoonoses in swine). In the first stage of an outbreak of flu symptoms to their animals in the backyard of pig breeds.

The second stage, when the account owner of the backyard of the pig was infected with flu symptoms in animals.

Step 3 to verify the child in the backyard breed of pigs was infected with his father, mother and brother. In the fourth stage, is the reason for the global Human to human transmission of an animal or human and animal influenza viruses. At this stage, will focus on containing the spread of the virus.

Countries reported advice to his people, how to travel to areas of claims. All the countries infected with swine flu has also been taken into account the introduction of a pandemic vaccine. (for example, when infected by a family member came out to the backyard of her friends decided to speak and he is aware that the spread of the virus.)

The penultimate stage, when the man of the virus, or a family member or someone of his friends to travel to another neighbor. You know, if the country is in step 5, if the dominant classes of the suspension notice because the flu away.

This last step is the pandemic as a man unconscious when they travel to another continent, without the knowledge of the infecting virus, which spread the virus of swine influenza in other breeds. Now there are signs and symptoms above, you are ready to plan and prepare for potential attacks immediately pig flu virus. To hear the different organs of an H1N1 pandemic.

Thousands get Swine Flu Vaccine

The fight to curb swine influenza pandemic escalated in Orange County today with the opening of two public clinics, which drew thousands of people for a quick sniff of the vaccine.

County Health Care Agency estimated that it gave at least 3,300 doses of vaccine in the nose free one-day clinics in Santa Ana and Irvine. It took several hundred doses less than expected to give the remains of the three clinics are planned for this coming weekend.

Vaccines are nationally limited. This is the first Orange County clinics are limited to small children and adults caring for babies too young to get the vaccine itself. If this line was not in these two categories, they do not get the vaccine.

Parents started lining up before dawn Saturday at Santa Ana clinic to ensure that their children would Flumist quick spray vaccine is given. The line stretched on the campus of Santa Ana College, around a swimming pool and a football field - at least 1200 people in total - even before the doors opened.

Rhonda Biel, 45, of Huntington Beach, was first in line at 5:30 She identified some continuing concerns about the safety of the vaccine, but said the alternative - H1N1 Influenza - "narrower."

Her 9-year-old son, Connor, who described the vaccine experience when he left the clinic with blueberry lolly: "She, this wet stuff in your nose and give you a tissue, so it would not drool all over your face."

Health officials estimate 1,600 people received the vaccine clinic Saturday at Santa Ana in 1700 and got it in Irvine. It took a couple of hours to work through the long lines at both clinics early, at noon, but people could go and not wait to get a vaccine.
The clinics targeting children between 2 and 9 years old and healthy adults caring for babies 6 months and younger. These groups appear to a higher risk for flu, health officials said children also need half the dose, approximately four weeks after the first, because the vaccine is effective.

Health Care Agency has scheduled clinics three children next Saturday. They will in Rancho Santa Margarita (on Cox Communications, 29947 Avenida de las Banderas), Fullerton (at Fullerton College, 321 East Chapman Avenue) and Cypress (at City Hall, 5275 Orange Ave.).

The demand for a vaccine against the swine flu has overwhelmed some public vaccination clinics in Los Angeles County and elsewhere. But the organizers here reported no such problems and said the audience was moving well, despite the beginning of the lines.

The secret was simple: bright orange arm bands given to children and adults after a quick pre-screening interview with a health professional. These bracelets ensure that enough vaccine for them when they reached the front line.

Donna Fleming, head of county public health operations, the bracelet called "Willy Wonka golden ticket."

At least 102 people in Orange County is busy with H1N1 influenza, according to county Health Agency. Complications of influenza has killed 23 people here, including four children and two pregnant women.

The flu season is not usually peak in January or February. But the so-called swine flu has spread so rapidly that much harder to say when it will peak, "said Dr. Nancy Bowen, Chief Medical Officer in the county public health.

"We never see the level as this so early in the year," she said.

Approximately 1.6 million Orange County residents are a priority group for vaccination because of their age, health or occupation. But County Health Agency has so far only 43,700 and 19,200 doses of nasal spray vaccine shots. Private providers are also an unknown amount Flumist directly from the distributor of the state.

Saturday, Donald Han, 39, of Anaheim Santa Ana came to the hospital with her two young sons, when the doors opened. A volunteer made him the back of the line - after more than 1,000 people. But it was worth, he said.

"We were kind of hesitant," he said. "But I think it is better to protect children. We decided to just go for it .... It's better protection. This is what we came here for.

More Children die from Swine Flu H1N1 Virus

Friday, Oct. 16 (HealthDay News) - U.S. eleven children died of H1N1 swine influenza last week at the federal level, officials said Friday, adding that the disease is now so widespread that it has surpassed the epidemic.

Adding to the serious situation that production problems have delayed the production of vaccines H1N1. Instead of achieving the target of 40 million doses in late October, less than 30 million doses will be available, said Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of VS Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases afternoon press conference.

"Delays, manufacturers will have a significant impact on the country in their planning. We are seeing more and more vaccines become available - we had more, but at least we have something," she said.

Schuchat said 86 children have died of H1N1 swine influenza virus appeared Since last spring, with 43 of those deaths coming in September and early October alone. He stressed that the concern that swine influenza is particularly dangerous for children and young adults with no immunity to this disease. Over the past three years have seen the deaths of children from the regular seasonal flu, from 46 to 88 per year.

"It is very unfortunate statistics," she said.

Strangely, Schuchat said that about half of the children who died in late August were teenagers. Health officials say young children are more vulnerable.

Swine influenza is widespread in 41 states, compared with 37 states last week, said Schuchat, and disease, hospitalization and mortality continues to grow. "

Despite delays in the production of vaccines, more than expected doses per week, Schuchat said. "We all must accept the situation. It's a pity we are not the best way to produce vaccines perfect.

Currently, 11.4 million doses of vaccine are available, and 8 million doses of those who were ordered states, Schuchat said. Ultimately, the Government hopes to abandon the 190 million doses by the end of the year, federal officials said.

The first dose of the swine flu vaccine, which was published earlier this month, in the form of nasal spray called FluMist, which is designed for people from 2 to 49 years who are not pregnant and do not have a chronic illness. Now, just over half the vaccines in the form of capsules, which makes the vaccine available to more people, Schuchat said.

In addition to the children that they should be closer to the front line for a shot of swine flu include pregnant women, people care for young children, professionals and people with chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes and heart disease.

Schuchat also urged people to be vaccinated against regular seasonal flu. Eighty-two million doses of seasonal flu vaccine have been distributed, the overall goal of 114 million doses. "Since 71 percent of the dose would have been broken," she said.

Schuchat added that it is not too late for the seasonal flu shot from the seasonal flu season has not started yet, and influenza H1N1 remains the dominant strains in circulation.

Thursday, warned VS Food and Drug consumers to use caution when buying goods over the Internet that claims to diagnose, prevent, treat or cure influenza H1N1. Often these products are not what they claim that they are illegal or sell in the U.S..

For example, did the agency that the pills from India, which claims the role of the antiviral drug Tamiflu actually contain talc and acetaminophen, but not Tamiflu.

Products for sale online with the claims for the diagnosis, prevention, protection, treatment, or treatment in the 2009 flu virus H1N1, should be evaluated carefully, "said FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, in a prepared statement." Medicine purchased from sites that operate on because the law allows consumers to increased risk in connection with the higher potential that the products will be forged impure, contaminated, or too little or too much active ingredient.

Friday, stopping a judge in New York State mandatory influenza vaccination for health professionals. New York is the only state that requires health care workers should be vaccinated against seasonal influenza and swine. Ban came in response to a lawsuit filed by three nurses, who said the mandatory vaccination violated their civil rights, The New York Times.

Should not take Swine Flu Vaccine

We are told to keep the tribe, because in another month Barbados Health expects to get their hands on the H1N1 vaccine. Should we welcome the news? U.S. cable networks and others in the media fraternity is focused on the opposite position to the H1N1 vaccine to take.

Is there clarity on this issue?

This year is more important that you protect your children and loved ones from influenza vaccines other than influenza itself.

This article on Lew Rockwell discusses how to:

1. Swine influenza is just another influenza. It is not unusual fatal.
2. It is the first time both seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccines are administered. Both seasonal flu and swine flu vaccines would require two vaccinations. This is because a vaccine is not sufficient to produce antibodies. This is a recognition that prior influenza vaccination virtually useless. Can you trust them this time?
3. Excipients are added to vaccines to increase the production of antibodies, but can cause auto-immune reactions. Some additives are mercury (thimerosal), aluminum and squalene. Why would you sign a consent form for your children be injected with mercury, which is even more brain-toxic than lead?
4. This is the first year mock vaccines are used for FDA approval. The vaccines are tested, is not the same vaccines your child will be given.
5. Over-vaccination is a common practice now in America. American children are exposed to 29 vaccines at the age of two. In the meantime, veterinarians backed by repeated vaccination in dogs due to the effects observed.
6. Modern medicine has no explanation for autism, despite the continued increase in prevalence. But autism is not reported among the Amish children to non-vaccinated.
7. Scientists warn that excessive use of influenza vaccines and anti-flu drug Tamiflu and Relenza can use genetic pressure on influenza viruses, and so they are more likely to mutate into a more deadly strain.
8. Most seasonal influenza A (H1N1) virus strains tested in the U.S. and other countries are now resistant to Tamiflu (oseltamivir). Tamiflu is a drug almost useless against seasonal flu.
9. Health officials are irresponsible in their failure of all the ways to enhance immunity against influenza. No options outside the problematic anti-influenza drugs and vaccines are offered, although there is strong evidence that vitamins C and D, immune activation and the trace mineral selenium prevent the worst form of the disease
