New transmission of the virus very quickly because of the human variant of the new virus has no natural antibodies

When the infected people, birds or swine influenza virus gene fragments may be a mixture of new viruses, and this new virus is often spread very quickly due to the body of this new variant virus has no natural antibodies.
Virus was confirmed by the people - who form the dissemination of
The mainstream anti-viral drugs effective against strain

Swine flu发狠
Young and middle-aged eyes to "strike"
"If the end of the swine flu outbreak confirmed in a person-to-person phenomenon, then there may be a new influenza pandemic danger signals, the need for close attention.
- The provincial disease control epidemics He Jianfeng, deputy director of the Institute "
By (reporter Li Heng, Yi-feng任珊珊correspondent) Guangdong disease control experts suggest that the recent outbreak in Mexico to the United States region Cantonese symptoms such as fever, fever out-patient medical treatment should be soon.
7八成新global infectious diseases
Zoonotic diseases are
Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention epidemiologist, said Professor Xu Ruiheng, WHO and the United States to Mexico of the emerging epidemic of human infection with swine influenza reason for great concern, mainly due to three reasons: the emergence of cases of human influenza and animal influenza associated virus, and this has been confirmed in the laboratory lead to the outbreak of the virus is swine influenza virus subtype a/h1n1 is a never before found in human and pig, there were a new type of swine influenza virus; of human infection with swine epidemic influenza outbreaks in a number of communities; incidence for young and middle-aged crowd, and not susceptible to seasonal flu - the elderly and children, which is very similar to human avian influenza.
In recent years, including Academician Zhong Nanshan, including domestic and foreign experts have warned that the global risk of an influenza pandemic persists. China CDC officials had predicted that once the influenza outbreak in our country, it is estimated that a maximum of infected more than 190 million people.
"If the end of the swine flu outbreak confirmed in a person-to-person phenomenon, then there may be a new round of the risk of an influenza pandemic signal, need to pay close attention to." Epidemic disease control in Guangdong Province, deputy director of Institute He Jianfeng, director of physicians say .
Ebola virus, sars, bird flu, infected with Streptococcus suis, swine influenza ... ... the above-mentioned frequently in recent years "caused" the disease, the source of almost all come from animals. "In recent years, the world's emerging infectious diseases, 70% to 80% are zoonotic diseases, and momentum over the past few years the incidence见涨." He Jianfeng said. In this regard, the view was expressed that this is human nature to destroy the environment for "retaliation."
Can not rely on the prevention of influenza vaccine
More importantly, good hygiene practices
It is understood that after people are infected with swine flu and cold symptoms similar to patients with fever, cough, fatigue, loss of appetite and so on. In the area of prevention许锐Constant is not necessary at this stage to扎堆against human influenza vaccines, because prevention is the prevention of seasonal influenza vaccine do not have the effect of swine flu. The correct approach is to develop good personal hygiene, adequate sleep, the hard-working exercise, reducing stress, adequate nutrition; washing hands frequently, especially after contact with public goods and then wash their hands before touching their eyes, nose and mouth; sneezing and cough should not cover your mouth and nose with tissue paper; maintain indoor ventilation.
Guangdong frequent exchanges with the outside world, this occurred in Mexico and the United States, the epidemic will impact on the local? He Jian-feng said that at present China's ports of entry and quarantine departments of health personnel declaration and body temperature anomaly infra-red detection, isolation of abnormality, so the public need not worry. However, he also warns that the flu virus from infected to the general incidence of 3-5 days time, and port health and quarantine in the incubation period of one hundred percent of patients can not be intercepted. Thus, recently returned from these areas who develop fever symptoms, the fever should be immediately out-patient clinic. About to go to Mexico and the United States should do a good job in personal protection.
