  2. Outline • Statistics • Molecular Biology • Symptoms • Transmission • Treatment • Infamous Strains • Conclusion

  3. Annual Statistics • 5-20% of U.S. infected • 200,000 hospitalized • 3-5 million severe cases worldwide • 250,000-500,000 deaths • 300 million doses of vaccine administered worldwide Source: cdc.gov

  4. Molecular Biology • Enveloped virus • HA and NA proteins • Hemagglutinin • Neuraminidase • “H1N1” • 3 subtypes • A – animals/humans • B – humans only • C - asymptomatic Source: www.micro.magnet.fsu.edu

  5. Molecular Biology • (-) ssRNA genome • ~14,000nt total; 8 segments Source: www.virology.ws

  6. Symptoms • Last about a week • 1-2 day incubation • May include: • Fever/chills • Cough • Sore throat • Runny/stuffy nose • Muscle/Headaches • Fatigue • Vomiting/diarrhea Source: newshealth.net

  7. Potential complications • Bacterial pneumonia • Ear/sinus infections • Bronchitis • Worsening of preexisting conditions • Asthma • Diabetes • Congestive heart disease • Link to schizophrenia

  8. Transmission • Inhalation of infected fluid particles • Hand-to-mouth contact • Flu “season” • Not due to temperature • Bad weather  people stay indoors  extended close contact with others Source: shanghaiist.com

  9. Treatment • Rest • Vitamin C & A • Fluids • Hot drinks/soup • OTC Medication • Antivirals • Prevention • Avoid crowds • Cover coughs, sneezes • Wash hands • Skip school/work Source: recipesfromhome-online.com

  10. Vaccine • 2 types • TIV • Injection • Dead virus • LAIV • Nasal spray • Attenuated virus • Cold-adapted Source: IFPMA

  11. Spanish Flu • H1N1 • 1/3 world population infected • 30-50 million dead • 675,000 in U.S. • Over half were age 20-40 • Transmission linked to high humidity • 3 waves in one year • Spring 1918 • Fall 1918 • Winter 1918-1919 • “Mother of all pandemics” Source: 1918.pandemicflu.gov

  12. Avian Flu • H5N1 • First detected 1996 • Human detection 1997 • Outbreak begins 2003 • Rare in humans; common in birds • Attacks lower respiratory tract • ~60% mortality • Expected to remain in circulation Source: hogueprophecy.com

  13. Swine flu • H1N1 • Less virulent • Quadruple reassortant • First case 2009, California • Public Health Emergency expired 6/23/10 • Likely to continue seasonal spread Source: freewebs.com
