Combining The Influenza Virus with Another Bacteria

Scientific journal "Kinetics of Infection by Influenza A and S. pneumoniae" discusses the effect of combining influenza virus with other strains of pneumococci [1]. According to the same magazine, if pneumococci are contained in the environment near the virus, influenza may change from mild infection to a furious or fatal virus. Some aspects of influenza and pneumococci that infect organisms include inflammation and airway injury. The similarity between the two viruses may be due to the same pathways, cofactors, and intermediates used in both influenza and pneumococcus.

In February 2004, avian influenza virus was detected from birds in Vietnam, concern about the emergence of new variants is increasing. Where avian influenza virus is combined with human influenza virus (in birds or humans), it is feared that the new subtypes created will be highly contagious and very deadly for humans. This subtype can cause a worldwide influenza epidemic similar to the Spanish flu or a high mortality epidemic such as the Asian cold or Hong Kong cold. In October 2005, a case of avian influenza (a deadly H5N1 strain) was discovered in Turkey. "European health commissioner Markos Kyprianou received confirmation that the virus found in Turkey is avian influenza H5N1 type virus and is directly related to viruses found in Russia, Mongolia, China" influenza Cases Croatia, Bulgaria, UK also detect the possibility of virus.

Initial tests showed that the avian influenza virus is more than 1,000 times more infective than a typical human influenza virus. Its mortality rate is about 60%. Robert Webster, the author of the "Flush Textbook", initially began investigating avian influenza, but he was walking along the coast and discovered that many birds were dying along the coastline. He expressed the H5 virus and its cousin H7 as "a messy bastard." Fukuda 's team visited the school of Lamhuika, bent knees wiped out the floor. But the sample came back. "I do not know how a boy was infected," Fukuda said. They began collecting blood samples inevitably from other children in the new world - more than 2,000 in total - to see if Ramhuika is zero in emerging pandemics
