  3. WHAT IS H1N1? • Subtype of influenza virus A and the most common cause of influenza flu in human. • H1N1 strains caused roughly half of all human flu infections in 2006. • Other strains are endemic in pigs (swine flu) and in birds (avian flu). • It is categorized according to 2 types of proteins found on the surface of the virus: Hemagglutinin(H) and neuraminidase(N) • All influenza A virus have these proteins but the structures differ from due to rapid genetic mutation in viral genome.

  4. SERIOUSNESS OF H1N1 IN MALAYSIA THE TOTAL CASES FROM APRIL-AUGUST 2009

  5. CAUSES OF H1N1

  6. This new virus was first detected in people in the United States in April 2009. This virus is spreading from person-to- person worldwide, in much the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread. • Influenza A, H1N1 caused particular strain of the influenza virus. This particular strain A- H1N1/09 originated in pigs (swine) but has changed itself to be infective to humans. • This originally infected only pigs and they spread it from one infected hog to other hogs the same way it spreads in people, by direct contact or by droplets holding the virus in the air after a pig coughed or sneezed. Because pigs are physiologically very similar to humans, when they have been living closely with humans, some microbes that can infect them are able to be changed or mutated into strains that people can catch.

  7. SYMPTOMS OF H1N1

  8. THE WAYS H1N1 IS SPREAD

  9. THE POTENTIAL VICTIMS OF H1N1 IN MALAYSIA

  10. MALAYSIAN Government measures • Since the Nipah virus outbreak in 1999, the Malaysian Health Ministry have put in place processes to be better prepared to protect the Malaysian population from the threat of infectious diseases. Malaysia was fully prepared during the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) situation (Malaysia was not a SARS affected country) and the episode of the H5N1 (bird flu) outbreak in 2004.
