flu strain

A similar fate awaits any population exposed long enough to a new flu strain to which it has no immunity, experts believe.

Health authorities have pointed out that this swine flu strain has never been seen. That may have a lot to do with the deaths, Markel said.

Mr Viehbacher estimated that the company could increase output to at least 800m doses of a vaccine for the latest swine flu strain.

A crash programme to produce a vaccine against the new flu strain will probably take six months but is worth undertaking.

One of the deadliest viruses ever to infect the human race was the Spanish flu strain that caused a global pandemic, beginning in 1918.

The swine flu strain is suspected in more than 150 deaths in Mexico and cases have been confirmed in at least four other countries.

Although most cases appear to be mild, the new swine flu strain has killed just as seasonal flu does.

They found that the best vaccine distribution strategy depends on the contagiousness of the flu strain.

A council reminds residents to be vigilant and look out for dead birds after the deadly H5N1 flu strain is found in Britain.

More than 40 people have been sickened by the new flu strain in the United States.

The most severe pandemic of the past century occurred in 1918, when up to 50 million people died, and was caused by the H1N1 flu strain.

If the new flu strain does hit their herds, it could spur further price declines, and could potentially spread broadly through herds.

Quest Scientists are working on a universal flu vaccine, but one will not be ready in time to fight the new swine flu strain.

The new flu strain is preying on children and young adults and appears to have a disproportionately high fatality rate in pregnant women.

Researchers are especially concerned because this flu strain, which is quite deadly, is becoming endemic in Asia.

Phase 6, the maximum on the WHO's pandemic alert scale, means the flu strain is spreading globally. It is not a measure of severity.

The swine flu strain that is spreading is a never-before-seen hybrid of human, swine and bird influenza but is widely known as swine flu.

H3N2 originated in a relatively benign swine flu strain first identified in 1918, but had absorbed new genes from bird and human flus .

So far, the new flu strain appears mild.

It is also why every few decades a flu strain appears with the genetic novelty to evade our herd immunity and wreak global havoc.

I've heard that the new flu strain circulating this fall is mild.

This year's swine flu strain grew very poorly in early production , basically . 6 doses per egg .

And that is why we are working closely with the Mexican government to identify and treat illnesses that are caused by this new flu strain.

It is a hybrid of human, bird and swine flu viruses, and by 1999 it is the dominant flu strain in US pigs.

First, understand that no one really knows just how many people in Mexico are dying of this flu strain, or how many have it.
