The spread of highly pathogenic avian H5N1 influenza across much of Asia creates a substantial risk of igniting the next pandemic. In 2004, 44 human cases caused by ...
متن کاملDesign of non-pharmaceutical intervention strategies for pandemic influenza outbreaks
BACKGROUND As seen during past pandemic influenza outbreaks, pharmaceutical interventions (PHIs) with vaccines and antivirals are the most effective methods of mitigation. However, availability of PHIs is unlikely to be adequate during the early stages of a pandemic. Hence, for early mitigation and possible containment, non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) offer a viable alternative. Also, N...
