Avian Influenza n n n Influenza A Low pathogenicity forms (LPAI) High pathogenicity forms (HPAI) 16 Hemagluttinin (H) subtypes 9 Neuraminidase (N) subtypes Designated HXNX
Avian Influenza n Only H 5 and H 7 subtypes are known to contain highly pathogenic strains
Avian Influenza n n n Usually low pathogenicity form in poultry Usually highly species-specific Seen occasionally in swine
Avian Influenza n n 2003 poultry outbreaks that started spreading country-to-country H 5 N 1

Avian Influenza n Over 300 million domestic birds dead or destroyed
Migratory Waterfowl n Many migratory birds from affected regions are now carrying the H 5 N 1 virus
Commercial Bird Transportation
Bird Smuggling National Geographic
Human Cases n n Over 232 human cases China, SE Asia and Indonesia WHO, as of July 26, 2006
Human Cases n n Over 50% mortality rate (134/232*) Linked to direct contact with infected birds, primarily during slaughter *WHO, as of July 26, 2006
Human Threat n H 5 N 1 genetic mutation that spreads as respiratory infection in humans, resulting in a world-wide pandemic
Pandemic Requirements 1. New influenza subtype emerges 2. It infects humans, causing serious illness 3. It spreads easily and sustainably among humans
Spreading Easily and Sustainably Between Humans Requires: n Genetic reassortment between avian and human influenza viruses or n Adaptive mutation whereby avian virus learns to attach to human cells
Becoming Pandemic n n n H 5 N 1 virus appears to be more pathogenic today than just a few years ago Expanding its host range, especially into more mammalian species Starting to see large migratory waterfowl die-offs
Prevention n Care should be taken to avoid contact with live, well-appearing, sick, or dead poultry and with any surfaces that may have been contaminated by poultry or their feces or secretions
Prevention n Avoid places such as poultry farms and bird markets where live poultry are raised or kept
Prevention n Careful and frequent handwashing is the best defense!
Prevention n Handwashing tips • Wash before and after handing raw poultry and game birds • Wash hands after handing pets • Soap and warm/hot water, at least 20 seconds • Waterless alcohol-based hand gels n Use only as a supplement to handwashing
Prevention n Thawing frozen poultry and game birds • Thaw in the refrigerator • Thaw in microwave, then cook immediately • Thaw under cold running water, then cook immediately
Prevention n Influenza viruses are destroyed by heat • Cook all poultry and game birds to 165°F • Cook all eggs and egg dishes to 160°F
Prevention n Avoid cross-contamination • Keep raw poultry and game bird meat and juices away from ready-to-eat foods • Do not wash raw poultry and game bird meat n Splattered water can spread bacteria
Prevention n Clean and Sanitize • Wash knives, cutting board, and countertops after cutting raw poultry n Use hot, soapy water • Sanitize cutting boards and countertops with a bleach solution n 1 teaspoon bleach per 1 quart water
Prevention n Human vaccines are being developed and tested in several countries
