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) New York - The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)said thatBird flu could become endemic in Turkey and poses a serious risk to neighboring countries.

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 "The virus may be spreading despite the control measures already taken," said Juan Lubroth, Senior Animal Health Officer at the Rome-based agency.

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.

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.

Notebooks "The funds required by the World Bank and others in their efforts come to a total of around $1.4-$1.5 billion...we need to be looking for significantly over a billion," Dr. Nabarro, who is the Senior UN System Coordinator for Avian and Human Influenza, said at a news conference today, while cautioning that those figures were only estimates.

Lenovo Dr. Nabarro said he was hopeful that this amount would be pledged by donors at an international conference on the disease to be held in Beijing on 17 and 18 January, although this would only be a "beginning" towards what was required to fight the virus.
