wide since the H5N1 strain of the disease reappeared. The bulk of the deaths have been in Asia. As the UK dealt with a whirlwind of media hype, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) stepped into the fray over bird flu saying that the world's rich nations were too slow in responding to the first cases of bird flu, contributing a mere 36 million U.S. dollars to the fight against the disease.
Thinkpad (AXcess News) Hong Kong - Fatma Kocyigit, 15, died in a hospital in Van, Turkey four days after the death of her brother, Mehmet Ali Kocyigit, 14. Their deaths mark the first cases of bird flu reported outside East Asia.
3. Is there a treatment for bird flu Professionals currently researching the Avian bird flu claim that rimantidine and amantidine, two cheap and popular flu drugs, have no power over the bird flu, but Relenza and Tamiflu, two other flu drugs, can indeed effectively treat the viral disease. 4. Is there a risk of a bird flu epidemic Experts in this area suggest that rapid and extensive culling and quarantining of potentially infected animals is the best way to prevent an epidemic. Another option is vaccination of birds against the bird flu virus.
Microsoft Fatma succumbed to the disease Thursday, doctors said. Authorities were still trying to determine if the teenagers died from the H5N1 strain of bird flu virus.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
Laptop Computers Turkish doctors suspect their 11-year-old sister also has bird flu and are awaiting the results of tests to confirm that.
Normally the avian bird flu viruses do not affect humans but since 1997 (when the first case of avian bird flu among humans appeared in Hong Kong), this kind of flu has infected and killed several humans in the South East Asian countries. While WHO does not recommend avoiding travels to these countries, it does advice staying away from live animal markets and poultry farms. This is because the droppings of infected birds generally carry large quantities of the virus.
Laptop Computer The three children were admitted to the hospital last week with flu-like symptoms after developing high fevers, coughing and bleeding in their throats. The family worked on a farm that raised fowl and supposedly ate a diseased bird. But the three children were not the only one's admitted to the hospital with similar symptoms. Eight more adults were also in the hospital and reportedly have the same symptoms, though doctors are trying to confirm that they contracted the bird flu virus.
1. What is bird flu Avian influenza, or bird flu, is a contagious disease that affects chickens, ducks, turkeys, and other birds. Bird flu was first detected over 100 years ago and nowadays comes in a variety of about 20 strains. Most recently, outbreaks of the viral disease have been caused by the H5N1 strain, which is a particularly deadly strain of the virus. 2. Can I be infected with bird flu The H5N1 strain of the flu, also called the Asian bird flu because it recently was detected in Asia, has a small risk level for human beings because it cannot be transmitted from one human being to another. A human being can only be infected from direct contact with a sick animal. It is possible that this could change and that the strain could evolve into a virus that can be transferred from one human to another. But this is not the case now.
Desktop Computer Birds in Turkey, Romania, Russia and Croatia have recently tested positive for H5N1. World Health Organization workers are concerned with the possibility of a pandemic if the H5N1 virus mutates to become a communicable disease.
Notebooks So far, 74 deaths have been reported -mainly farm workers in close contact with fowl from Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia- according to the World Health Organization. The WHO last updated its figures on Dec. 30.
