This afternoon, deputy director of the CDC in Henan Province Xu Bian-li on the current issues related to swine influenza answers.
Asian ethnic origin, whether the swine flu immunization?
The emergence of new infectious diseases is certainly based on local region as a first step, and then spread, there is no geographical spread of disease does not mean that no one here is immune to race.
Generally an emerging human influenza virus are generally no immunity, so the Asian region is currently no pandemic can not be said that the Asian ethnic origin of the swine flu has innate immunity.
Why is this a few years an increasing number of epidemic diseases
Environmental pollution, population increase, the earth pressure increases, there may lead to microbial variation, mutation, and this is certainly very reason, but this is not the main reason, the main concern is raised by nearly For three decades, on average every year there was a new infectious disease emerged, and as raising the level of medical technology in recent decades, these new emerging infectious diseases can be discovered, it becomes the more pandemics in recent years as more and more.
Human beings and the struggle against infectious diseases are carried on since ancient times, never stop, people to survive, microorganisms to survive, its existence is also a constant variation of evolution, the new infectious diseases will continue to appear.
Swine influenza and pig has nothing to do
The Mexican swine flu has today changed its name, and called “2009H1N1 influenza,” from the current situation, the patients have not yet found the incidence of infection is contact with pigs at the same time, it did not find pigs infected by this disease, not from the pigs extracted to this virus, which currently are found in human infections.
The reason formerly known as swine flu, mainly the pathogenesis of this virus is swine influenza virus mutates over, but in fact there is no significant relationship between and pigs, where rectification of names about to give pigs.
In Henan does not currently form a popular
Henan does not currently form a popular, largely have been season, and flu pandemics are mainly spring and autumn, and now has been the season, while the influenza virus is very sensitive to temperature as soon as summer is coming, does not have the popular base, so Henan massive numbers of visitors can be assured.
However, the point to note is that after a period of incubation period of influenza may be re-attack, so this year we should strictly guard against the fall and winter.
51 Tourism should pay attention to
First, to the affected areas should not to travel, especially now the disease state.
Secondly, tourism should pay attention to the period around the patients without fever and other symptoms, because the current spread of infectious diseases of the respiratory season, even if there is no swine flu, there are other influenza to note.
Especially in tourism, should pay attention to during the rest of the body to enhance immunity, prevent disease from occurring.
