City Center for Disease Control and Prevention experts said that swine flu swine influenza virus from an acute respiratory infectious diseases, this disease often occurs in pigs, but rarely led to the death of pigs.
Under normal circumstances, humans are rarely infected with swine influenza viruses. Means of human infection with swine influenza, possibly through contact with infected pigs or swine influenza virus infection in contact with the environment, or through infection of swine influenza virus with human exposure.
Experts therefore advise the general public, the current influenza, avian flu and other respiratory diseases were the high season, in the medical and health institutions provide better medical care, prevention work, the general public as well as raise individual awareness of prevention and take proper preventive measures:
1, increase outdoor activity and exercise, a balanced diet, rational nutrition, pay attention to make warm cold and other personal protection, as little as possible to the densely populated public places;
Second, wash their hands, to develop good personal hygiene habits;
Third, to develop good eating habits, consumption of pork or pork products as long as the cooked, it will not be infected with swine influenza;
4, increase their awareness of prevention and should be avoided and poultry, birds of unnecessary contacts, especially children, should avoid close contact with poultry and fowl;
5, for some staff in close contact with poultry, such as breeding, sale, slaughter, must be good personal protection, wear a mask, wearing protective clothing and so on.
Chinese Academy of Engineering Professor Zhong Nanshan of the “Global Times” reporter that pig viruses has always been a good mixer. The swine flu H1N1 strain of the virus is a new variant, scientists have found that the strains with the human influenza, avian flu, swine influenza gene fragments.
Zhong Nanshan said that now mankind has available within 48 hours to a new type of virus gene sequencing capacity that will benefit more quickly to produce the vaccine, but vaccines have been developed before, to take strict and effective quarantine measures, it should be is now the most a good way.
According to “Global Times” reported that the swine flu oncoming force so violent why? A medical expert said, because this is a new virus, it did not produce antibodies against it, basically no resistance once they outbreaks, transmission speed很快. And this disease has a short incubation period, and only 3-5 days, mortality would be quite high, superposition of these factors together, Mexico and the United States caused by swine influenza menacing state.
Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention experts have light in the acceptance of “Global Times” reporter, said that the incidence of swine flu in 1918 to 1919 with the Spanish influenza epidemic have great similarity, that is also called swine flu . At that time, the world’s dead 40000000-50000000 people. Zeng Guang, however, said this illness do not have to fear. Now the human ability to deal with the disease is quite different in 1918. As long as do a good job of monitoring and control work, interruption of disease transmission can be inhibited.
