Bird flu H5N6 extremely dangerous are threatening Vietnam

The flu is disease of the respiratory organs caused by acute Influenza virus causes. The disease has a high infection risk should threaten public health. From the small service quickly spread out in large number to do community residents infected with the disease and can cause severe complications such as pneumonia bacterial infection multiples.

Bird flu is the flu occur in poultry spread to people with a high mortality rate.

Bird flu is the flu occur in poultry spread to people with a high mortality rate. The disease is fever, headache, muscle aches, coughing, a sore throat can lead to severe pneumonia and death if not detected and treated promptly.

The notion of belief about swine flu

The flu virus is spread by contact between sick people with healthy people in the near distance (under 1 m), do not spread at a distance (5-10 m), do not spread indirectly through toys/widgets. The disease spread through respiratory, breathing, sneezing, runny nose, through the water particles li ti contains flu virus. The modern transportation will create conditions for swine flu spread very far and fast. Swine flu appear suddenly and can carry the computer boom in many different areas. There are 2 types of influenza are:  Room: small jewelry spread limit, related to the sea in small change the Antigen of the virus.

Pandemic: spread quickly with the scale of the continent or across the planet, happen when the change of genes that make up the shape of a new flu virus (usually appears after a period of 10-15 years). Surface antigens to be replaced by a completely new antigens differ. So the entire community not have immunity to this new flu virus typ stools.

Threat of avian influenza

In Vietnam, the bird flu is still a permanent concern.

Vietnam first detected the virus influenza A/H5N6 on poultry in lang son, Ha Tinh. This is the virus strain ever discovered in China, the Us, Germany, Point, Taiwan.

On 15/8, the Ministry of Health said the Department of animal health, Ministry of agriculture and rural development reported this situation to the medical industry timely monitoring, to prevent the risk of infection of influenza A/H5N6 on people in China, leading to the risk of death

Although not yet have evidence transmitted from person to person but the strain of influenza A/H5N6 has just discovered in Vietnam was warned very highly pathogenic.

The category of dangerous avian influenza virus was again expanded when recently, Vietnam detected influenza A/H5N6 on chickens, ducks in lang son and Ha virus Strains. with fatal strain in humans in China in April 2014.

Expand monitor

The Health Ministry said the influenza A infections/H5N6 do a patient 49 years in Sichuan Province-China death was discovered in April 2014. This is also the first and only patients in the world infected with the influenza A/H5N6 is recorded to date.

According to Dr. Tran Dac Phu, Director of preventive medicine, Ministry of health, Vietnam now sero acknowledgement yet influenza A/H5N6 on people. However, according to the notice of the Department of animal health-Ministry of agriculture and rural development, the result of active monitoring of the latest discovered some cases positive for influenza A/H5N6 on raising chickens in the West Lake of Lang Son province, and on raising ducks in the States He, Ha Tinh Province, this is the first influenza A/H5N6 were recorded in Vietnam.

There was concern the results of tests with the sequence of genetic samples of the influenza A/H5N6 detected in Vietnam shows have similarities to 99% with a strain of influenza A, the first fatal H5N6 on people in Sichuan.

"According to the World animal health organization, it is the strain of the virus has a high, though not yet there is evidence of transmission from person to person but discovering it on poultry also increases the risk of spreading bird flu virus for people"-TS Lady.

He Talks Xuan Thanh, Deputy Director of animal health, said the Agency has conducted the entire destruction of poultry infected with influenza A/H5N6 to prevent the virus may spread into the environment and other flocks; at the same time strengthen the poultry samples in lang son and Ha Tinh to the test. According to him, the monitoring of wild birds and ducks are also being made. Initial epidemiological investigation showed that the wild birds and the wild duck has appeared in this area before the disease occurs.

Equivalent dangerous H5N1

Bird flu H5N6 ultra-exclusive are threatening Vietnam.

PROF. Dr. Zheng military training, senior specialist, Ministry of health, for that occurrence influenza A/H5N6 on poultry in our country are extended the list of pathogenic strains of avian influenza viruses to humans. Meanwhile, work to identify and differentiate the strains of flu virus currently must rely on tests. Most of the strains of flu virus when the disease has the same clinical manifestations such as fever, cough, fatigue, should not exclude the people can subjectively before signs of disease.

"Dangerous levels of influenza A/H5N6 is rated the equivalent of A/H5N1. The return of the influenza A/H5N1, the continued existence of the influenza A/H1N1, influenza A/risk H7N9 infiltration and the emergence of new flu strains A/H5N6 is really worrying because of the unpredictable variation of influenza viruses. They are particularly dangerous because the human body does not yet have antibodies against the new virus, while the characteristics of the avian influenza virus is always modified to adapt "-PROF. Coaching concern.

Accordingly, the Ministry of health suggested the province directed the Department of agriculture and rural development, strengthen surveillance, investigating early detection of the flu outbreak on poultry; work closely with the relevant unit implementation prevent smuggled, closely control the transport and trade of poultry and poultry products; timely notice of the situation of bird flu for the medical industry to coordinate monitoring for early detection of cases of flu A/H5N6 in person.

Directs the Health Department strengthen monitoring and sampling the samples from cases of acute severe respiratory tract inflammation, inflammation of the lungs caused by a virus, especially in cases with a history of exposure to sick birds for early detection of avian influenza virus strains of high pathogenic, and timely deployment of quarantine measures , treatment and preventive measures.

The Department of health will closely monitor avian influenza A (H5N6) and in coordination with the Ministry of agriculture and rural development, the ministries concerned and the people's committees of provinces and cities to steer and implement the necessary measures for the effective prevention of influenza A (H5N6) and other strains of bird flu.=
