چکیده
"Avian influenza", "swine influenza", and "new influenza" are not the names of disease but "influenza" in humans. The preparedness for pandemic influenza should be based on the measures how to control the seasonal influenza that causes thousands of deaths and hundreds of encephalopathy every year in Japan.

Swine flu, pandemics, and critical care
The recent discovery of a new strain of swine flu (officially known as influenza A/H1N1/Mexico City 2009) and the ensuing epidemic demonstrate the collective vulnerability of humankind to pandemic spread of respiratory viruses. We have been planning for pandemic influenza for decades and it is now upon us. This new strain is a hybrid virus, with its major surface hemagglutinin antigen sequences...
متن کاملGuinea Pig Model for Evaluating the Potential Public Health Risk of Swine and Avian Influenza Viruses
BACKGROUND The influenza viruses circulating in animals sporadically transmit to humans and pose pandemic threats. Animal models to evaluate the potential public health risk potential of these viruses are needed. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We investigated the guinea pig as a mammalian model for the study of the replication and transmission characteristics of selected swine H1N1, H1N2, H3N...
متن کاملAntigenically intact hemagglutinin in circulating avian and swine influenza viruses and potential for H3N2 pandemic
The 2009 swine-origin H1N1 influenza, though antigenically novel to the population at the time, was antigenically similar to the 1918 H1N1 pandemic influenza, and consequently was considered to be "archived" in the swine species before reemerging in humans. Given that the H3N2 is another subtype that currently circulates in the human population and is high on WHO pandemic preparedness list, we ...
متن کاملPredicted Enhanced Human Propensity of Current Avian-Like H1N1 Swine Influenza Virus from China
Influenza A virus (IAV) subtypes against which little or no pre-existing immunity exists in humans represent a serious threat to global public health. Monitoring of IAV in animal hosts is essential for early and rapid detection of potential pandemic IAV strains to prevent their spread. Recently, the increased pandemic potential of the avian-like swine H1N1 IAV A/swine/Guangdong/104/2013 has bee...
متن کاملDouble Infections with Avian A/H5N1 and Swine A/H1N1 Influenza Viruses in Chickens
The rapid outbreak of the highly pathogenic A/H5N1 avian influenza virus among domestic birds and its transmission to humans have induced world-wide fears of a new influenza pandemic. If a human-trophic strain of A/H5N1 is replicated in domestic animals, it might have high transmissivity and pathogenicity to humans. If the misassembling of both avian and swine influenza viruses occur in the sam...
