Researchers characterize antibodies that block H5N1 influenza viral transmission

Duration: 5:22
Updated: 03 Sep 2013

H5N1 avian influenza is a highly pathogenic virus that has been responsible for several outbreaks of bird flu in humans over the past decade. In previous outbreaks, the virus spread through direct contact between humans and infected birds, but was not able to spread from human to human. Recent studies in ferrets have demonstrated that mutations in the viral HA gene allow the virus to be transmitted via respiratory droplets indicate that such mutations may also make the virus transmissible between humans. In this episode, James Crowe of Vanderbilt University describes his group's recent investigation of the ability to human H5N1 vaccines to neutralize respiratory droplet transmissible forms of the virus. Using peripheral blood mononuclear cells from vaccinated humans, Crowe and colleagues identified antibodies that recognized both wild type and respiratory droplet transmissible forms of viral HA. Structural studies were used to further characterize the motifs required for antibody recognition. These findings indicate that the polyclonal sera currently used for vaccination can neutralize respiratory droplet transmissible forms of the virus.

First human H5N1 case reported in Canada

Duration: 1:12
Updated: 08 Feb 2014

Originally published on January 9, 2014 Canada reported first H5N1 bird flu infection in North America on Wednesday (January 8). The patient was a resident of Alberta who had returned after spending a month in China. The unidentified patient was reportedly feeling sick while flying from Beijing to Vancouver and continuing on to Edmonton on December 27. The patient was hospitalised on January 1 and died on January 3. Canadian Health Minister Rona Ambrose said in a news conference on Wednesday that the recent H5N1 patient was likely an isolated case. "The risk of getting H5N1 is very low," Ambrose said in a Canada Star report. "This case is not part of the seasonal flu, which circulates in Canada every year." "I'm surprised we haven't seen at least one importation before now into North America ... given the connectedness that we have with that region," said Danuta Skowronski, an influenza expert at the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control. The H5N1 virus is a highly pathogenic avian flu virus that spreads widely among birds but rarely infects humans. Most human cases have been reported in people who had contact with sick or dead poultry infected with the virus. Symptoms of infection include fever, diarrhea, coughing, shortness of breath and acute respiratory distress. Unlike many other flus, H5N1 is not readily transmitted between humans. Since 2003 the World Health Organization has reported more than 600 human cases of H5N1 infection in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Around 60 percent of those infected have have died. -------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to TomoNews, where we animate the most entertaining news on the internets.

First H5N1 Death in North America - January 9, 2014

Duration: 2:22
Updated: 09 Jan 2014

First H5N1 Death in North America - January 9, 2014 Canadian health officials confirmed Wednesday that a resident from Alberta has died from H5N1 avian flu, the first case of the virus in North America. Canada's Health Minister, Rona Ambrose, said the infected individual had recently traveled to Beijing. The Canadian case also is the first case of H5N1 infection ever imported by a traveler into a country where the virus is not present in poultry. No such H5N1 viruses have been detected in people or in animals in the United States. Ambrose stressed that Canadians should not be worried about contracting the virus. "As Canada's Health Minister I want to reassure the public this is an isolated case," Ambrose said. "The risk of H5N1 to Canadians is very low. There is no evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission. It is also important for Canadians to know that this case is not part of the seasonal flu which circulates in Canada every year." According to the World Health Organization, most avian flu viruses do not cause disease in humans. However, some like H5N1 are zoonotic, which means they can infect humans and cause disease, even death. The H5N1 virus has been primarily found in poultry in parts of Asia and northeastern Africa, where some people have contracted the virus and died. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most of the 648 human cases of H5N1 infections that have been detected since 2003 have occurred in people with direct or close contact with poultry. The CDC considers that the health risk to people in the Americas posed by the detection of this one case is very low. The U.S. agency is not recommending that the public take any special actions regarding H5N1 virus in response to the Canadian case.

How Can You Avoid Sexsually Transmitted Infection | Sexsually Transmitted Infection During Pregnency

Duration: 4:31
Updated: 14 Aug 2013

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that are spread by sexual contact. While the incidence of reported STIs has actually declined in the United States in the last decade, the number of these infections in children and teenagers is still very high. The best way for teenagers to prevent STIs is to not have sexual intercourse. They should understand that when they choose to have sex, it is a decision that could affect them for the rest of their lives. Teenagers need to know that having sex could lead to pregnancy or an STI. Some infections can pass to your baby through the placenta or be transmitted during labor and delivery or when your water breaks.

First N America H5N1 bird flu death confirmed in Canada

Duration: 0:25
Updated: 09 Jan 2014

Canadian health officials have confirmed the first known fatal case of the H5N1 avian influenza strain in North America. Canadian Health Minister Rona Ambrose said the deceased person was an Alberta resident who had recently travelled to Beijing. Calling the death an "isolated case", Ms Ambrose said the risk to the general population was low. Ten people have died in Alberta this season from swine flu, or H1N1. H5N1 infects the lower respiratory tract deep in the lung, where it can cause deadly pneumonia. Continue reading the main story " Start Quote Rona Ambrose The risk of getting H5N1 is very low. This is not the regular seasonal flu. This is an isolated case." Rona Ambrose Canadian Health Minister Should you worry about bird flu? The World Health Organisation (WHO) says it is difficult to transmit the virus from person to person but when people do become infected, the mortality rate is about 60%. In the latest incident, the infected person first showed symptoms of the flu on an Air Canada flight from Beijing to Vancouver on 27 December, officials said. The passenger continued on to Edmonton and on 1 January was admitted to hospital where they died two days later. Canadian federal health officials said they would not identify the patient's sex, age or occupation. Ms Ambrose said Canadian officials were working with Chinese authorities on the case. "The risk of getting H5N1 is very low. This is not the regular seasonal flu. This is an isolated case," she said. According to the WHO, between 2003 and December 2013 there were 648 confirmed human cases of H5N1 infection in 15 countries, leading to 384 deaths. Experts say that if the H5N1 virus were to mutate and become easily transmissible between humans, the consequences for public health could be very serious.

Invisible Killers Part 1 - H5N1 First Death in North America, Vaccine Resistant Confirmed in Vietnam

Duration: 10:22
Updated: 12 Mar 2014

The first mortality from H5N1 in North America (Alberta, Canada) announced in early January 2014 and now a vaccine-resistant H5N1 in Vietnam announced in early February, the hardest hit by this killer virus since its discovery in 1996, prompted this video. We saw this virus emerge in the late 90s and though it has not transferred to humans easily or rapidly, it killed avians with total and swift lethality. Those tuned in back then were immediately concerned about this - what if a human version of this existed that rapidly spread? When it did soon thereafter take its first human victims, it killed 1 out of 3. It however mutated into a killer virus taking almost 60% of its human victims and has been globally spread thanks to migrating birds. The reported numbers since 1996 have been less than around 1000 (depending on what you look at) because until recently it only spread through a human having direct contact with an infected avian (or animal). A number of reported human-to-human infections have been confirmed since 2006. All World Health Organization numbers are based on lab tests, so we know the number is at least 5-10x higher per discussions with health workers in Hospitals (depending on a number of variables). Lab tests are expensive! NOTE: Influenza (commonly the "flu") kills thousands yearly in your country and you may not be aware of that, or even tens of thousands per year in larger countries. What used to be a few, to now many, characteristics make H5N1 possibly the first "super bug" that could make the Black Death and the Spanish Flu look a walk in the park, especially now that the world population is 7 billion - a number of completion. In a forthcoming Part 2 video, we will discuss other dimensions to this mess, among them, the responses of governments concerning H5N1 and "bioterrorism." This video gives you a history of this virus, and now that a long vicious winter in North America is coming to an end, will we see this virus in its rapidly spreading human-to-human form? Will the billions of dollars spent on stockpiled H5N1 vaccines work as news now comes in that a strain in Vietnam is now vaccine resistant? What of H5N1 will emerge next Winter? Is the strained human form in the modern toxic world ready? The purpose of this video is not to spread fear but rather insight and information. There are preparations and changes that can be made to help. We are literally in the hand of the Maker. Peace out. Be hopeful with some reality. Music credits at end of video.
