SEOUL, South Korea (CNN) Health authorities have ordered the slaughter of more than 200,000 poultry around the farm where the first case of bird flu was confirmed earlier this week. The fight to contain the highly contagious strain of bird flu suffered a setback Friday when two more suspected cases of the virus were located in duck farms outside the containment zone. Outbreak of the H5N1 bird flu virus in Hong Kong in 1997 and 1998 killed six people. Seoul authorities say they see no signs of that happening.

U.S. Department of Labor www.osha.gov MyOSHA [skip navigational links] Search Advanced Search A-Z Index GUIDANCE FOR PROTECTING WORKERS AGAINST AVIAN FLU BACKGROUND ON THE CURRENT OUTBREAK An outbreak of influenza A (H5N1), also know as "avian flu" or "bird flu," has been reported in several countries throughout Asia. Cases of avian influenza A (H5N1) in birds have been confirmed in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Pakistan, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. Human cases of avian influenza have been reported in Thailand and Vietnam. During this outbreak investigation, it has not been determined that avian flu is spread from person to person. This strain of avian influenza A (H5N1) currently affecting Asia has not been found in the United States. The current outbreak of avian influenza has prompted the killing of more than 25 million birds in Asia. In February 2004, different strains of avian flu were detected among several flocks of birds in the U.S. and state officials ordered the destruction of hundreds of thousands of birds. The avian influenza strain found in Delaware was (H7N2), in Pennsylvania the strain was (H2N2), and the (H5N2) strain was found in Texas. The strain found in Texas has been determined to be "highly pathogenic" to birds. However, the strain of avian influenza in Texas is not the same as the strain that is affecting Asia. There does not appear to be any connection between the illness in the flocks on the East Coast and the flock in Texas. Wild birds are the natural hosts for the virus. Avian flu viruses circulate among birds worldwide and are highly contagious among birds. It is also important to note that the United States annually imports an estimated 20,000 birds from countries with current avian influenza outbreaks, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Which Flu Season Was the Most Severe? Who Should Get Flu Shots? Anyone who wants to minimize his or her chances of getting the flu may want to get an influenza shot. If in doubt, a physician should be consulted. Parents are urged to get babies and young children, 6 months to two years of age, vaccinated because influenza sends this group to the hospital as often as it does the elderly. Caregivers to babies younger than 6 months are also urged to get a flu shot. (Babies younger then 6 months shouldn't get the flu shot). Parents need to be aware that young children require two doses, a month apart. To be sure their kids get both shots in time, parents shouldn't delay that visit to the pediatrician. Most physicians agree that people in the high-risk groups should get flu shots annually because flu-shot protection does not carry over from year to year. Those in the high-risk groups are the people most in danger of developing flu complications, such as pneumonia, which can be fatal.

Experts conducted more tests on 1,087 blood samples taken last month from chicken farms and wholesale markets in the southeastern province of Guangdong, the China Daily newspaper quoted Ministry of Agriculture official Chen Guosheng as saying. Chen said there was still no sign of the H5N1 virus, commonly known as bird flu, which triggered the slaughter of more than a million chickens in Hong Kong, which neighbors Guangdong province. Farms and markets in the city of Shenzhen and the Guangdong provincial capital of Guangzhou known in the West as Canton have been given a clean bill of health by animal health authorities.

This year, some 83.7 million people are expected to seek flu vaccines. By the end of October, 53.5 million doses 64 percent of the amount needed are expected to be available. Though that is more than twice the 26.6 million doses available at the same time last year, it is less than the 75.8 million doses available by the end of October 1999, when there was no delay. This November and December, another 30.2 million doses 36 percent of the projected 83.7 million needed are likely to be available, though officials said those numbers could change. ALSO Get more information about this year's flu vaccine from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Flu vaccination typically peaks by early November, but the disease peaks between December and March. In 15 of the past 19 years, the disease peaked between January and March, indicating vaccination in November, December and even later is usually effective, the advisory committee said.

The vast majority of the known human cases have resulted from direct contact with poultry, and there is only limited evidence to suggest possible human-to-human transmission. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Department are concerned about the potential for human-to-human transmission of this highly dangerous flu strain, and are working closely with other partners in an effort to monitor the outbreak. At this time, CDC and the WHO have not issued any travel alerts or advisories for avian flu-infected areas. However, CDC advises travelers to countries in Asia with documented H5N1 outbreaks to avoid poultry farms, contact with animals in live food markets, and any surfaces that appear to be contaminated with feces from poultry or other animals. CDC advises travelers to clean their hands often with soap and water or waterless alcohol-based hand-rubs to help prevent disease transmission. In addition, as a precaution, all foods from poultry, including eggs, should be thoroughly cooked. CDC further advises any travelers with a febrile respiratory illness returning from countries affected by H5N1 virus (bird flu) to seek prompt medical attention.

RELATED STORIES, SITES WASHINGTON (CNN) The 1918 flu that killed more than 20 million people may have quietly percolated for several years, trading back and forth between pigs and people, until suddenly growing strong enough to become the worst recorded global epidemic. That's the latest theory from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, which reported Monday that researchers for the first time have completely analyzed a critical gene from the killer influenza virus. The gene likely "was adapting in humans or in swine for maybe several years before it broke out as a pandemic virus," said molecular biologist Ann Reid, lead author of the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. But "we can't tell whether it went from pigs into humans or from humans into pigs," she said.

114. SECRETS OF THE DEAD . Killer Flu . Background | PBS But no flu ever struck as fast, as hard, and with such lethal power as the 1918, or Spanish flu, which rivals the Black Death as the deadliest epidemic in http://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/case_killerflu/

Read the transcript of an online chat with a scientist behind "Killer Flu," Dr. Jeffery K. Taubenberger, and series Producer, Kurt Tondorf Hosted by THE WASHINGTON POST on March 4, 2004 Over the centuries, humans have endured many influenza pandemics. Descriptions of the disease in Europe date back to 1100 A.D., and sporadic, isolated outbreaks have likely been occurring for many thousands of years. But no flu ever struck as fast, as hard, and with such lethal power as the 1918, or "Spanish Flu," which rivals the Black Death as the deadliest epidemic in history. To a world already ravaged by war, the 1918 pandemic was crippling; some 30 to 40 million people died worldwide, with the highest death rate occuring in young men and women. In the United States, 675,000 people died, including over 40,000 G.I.s 40 percent of all those who perished in World War I. In 1918, scientists didn't know that the culprit behind the carnage was a virus, a simple capsule filled with a few snips of genetic material that would allow it to harness its host's cellular machinery and make limitless copies of itself. In many ways, the 1918 bug a variety of influenza A, the most common cause of flu in humans was no different than any other influenza virus. Within the viral capsule are eight strands of RNA, which carry a total of just eight genes. Two of the genes produce the sugar-rich proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, which stud the surface of the virus with knob-like protrusions. The virus gains entry into a host's cells with the aid of these two proteins, which have a distinctive structure in every flu strain and are the target of both flu vaccines and the body's immune response. To start the infection process, enzymes naturally present in the host cut the hemagglutinin protein into two pieces so that it can bind to a receptor on the cell's surface. The virus is then enveloped, pulled into the cell, and eventually released and broken apart when the neuraminidase protein destroys the receptor that connects virus to cell.

116. A Science Odyssey: People And Discoveries: Worldwide Flu Pandemic Strikes From August 1918, when cases of the flu started looking abnormally high, In October, 1918, the flu reached its peak, killing about 195000 Americans. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/databank/entries/dm18fl.html

Worldwide flu pandemic strikes Late in the spring of 1918 the Spanish wire service Agencia Fabra sent cables of an unusual nature to Reuter's news service headquarters in London. "A strange form of disease of epidemic character has appeared in Madrid," it said. "The epidemic is of a mild nature, no deaths having been reported." The illness began with a cough, then headache and backache, fatigue, high fever, racing heart, loss of appetite and labored breathing. It usually lasted about three days. Cases had cropped up over the spring and summer in other countries, too, from Norway to India, China to Costa Rica. But in Spain, suddenly 8 million people were down with the bug. And as the summer of 1918 turned to fall, the epidemic lost its mildness: people started to die. The influenza commonly called "Spanish flu" killed more people than the guns of World War I. Estimates put the worldwide death toll at 21,642,274. Some one billion people were affected by the disease half of the total human population. It came at a time when 19 nations were at war and the disruption, stress, and privation of war certainly aided the flu's transmission. It killed people on every continent except Antarctica, with the most lives lost in Asia and the highest percentage of population killed in India. From August 1918, when cases of the flu started looking abnormally high, until the following July when they returned to about normal, 20 million Americans became sick and more than 500,000 died. In October, 1918, the flu reached its peak, killing about 195,000 Americans. About 57,000 American soldiers died from influenza while the U.S. was at war; about 53,500 died in battle.

Medical information for patients index search health books site map Influenza ('flu) Influenza is a virus which causes a severe form of respiratory tract infection with generalised bodily symptoms. It spreads around the world in epidemics and is responsible for much ill health as well as many deaths. Symptoms If you start to develop cold symptoms but starting more rapidly and rather more violently, with higher fever and severe aches and pains, often in the back and muscles, then you may well be developing influenza. This may be associated with severe headache, cough, and, as a result of the fever, intermittent sweating and shivering. Sometimes there is a gastrointestinal element, with vomiting and/or diarrhoea Many people think they have had "flu" when all that they have suffered is a bad cold. When you have influenza you will know the difference. Most people will find it impossible to leave their bed and feel terrible. The worst symptoms usually last for three to five days, and then should begin to improve. It is common to need two to three weeks off work as there is considerable debility left after the feverish illness is over. Do not be surprised to be quite depressed, this is a natural after-effect of the condition. Influenza makes everyone feel terrible, but most people recover. However it does have a small but significant mortality, especially in the very young, the very old, and those with poor immunity.
