  3. AVIAN INFLUENZA VIRUSES ARE INFLUENZA A VIRUSES 15 DIFFERENT HEMAGGLUTININS 9 DIFFERENT NEURAMINIDASES H5 AND H7 VIRUSES MOST PROBLEMATIC

  4. AVIAN INFLUENZA VIRUSES CAUSE 3 DIFFERENT TYPES OF DISEASE II. FOWL PLAGUE I. III. HIGHLY LETHAL BUT DEAD-END DISEASE

  5. I. INFLUENZA A VIRUSES OF WILD DUCKS • PROBABLY FECAL-ORAL TRANSMISSION • CAUSE NO DISEASE • REPLICATE PRERENTIALLY IN GUT • EXCRETED IN FECES • SURVIVE IN LAKE WATER FOR 30 D AT 40 C • 30% OF MIGRATING YOUNG DUCKS EXCRETE • < 1% OF RETURNING DUCKS EXCRETE

  7. OBJECTIVE 1 DISCUSS THE EMERGENCE OF AVIAN INFLUENZA: • RESEVOIR IN ASYMPTOMATIC WILD DUCKS • FOWL PLAGUE IS DUE TO A HEMAGGLUTININ MUTATION THAT PERMITS INFECTION IN ALL TISSUES

  8. II. FOWL PLAGUE OUTBREAKS 1959 – FIRST CONFIRMED OUTBREAK 24 OUTBREAKS, 14 SINCE 1994: 1992-95 MEXICO H5N2 1997 HONG KONG H5N1 2003 KOREA H5N1 JAPAN THAILAND VIETNAM CAMBODIA INDONESIA CHINA

  14. OBJECTIVE 2 IDENTIFY RISK FACTORS FOR ITS ACQUISITION: CLOSE CONTACT WITH SICK BIRDS

  15. OBJECTIVE 3 DISCUSS PREVENTION STRATEGIES: • BARRIER PRECAUTIONS • GOGGLES • MASKS • CHEMOPROPHYLAXIS • OSELTAMIVIR-EFFICACIOUS? • VACCINE

  16. CIRCULATING WIDELY • GREAT POTENTIAL TO ACQUIRE CAPACITY FOR EFFICIENT HUMAN-TO-HUMAN SPREAD • CAUSES SEVERE ILLNESS (33-66% LETHAL) • GLOBAL POPULATION IS SUSCEPTIBLE CID, 2005

  17. H5N1 VIRUS • H5N3 VACCINE POORLY IMMUNOGENIC IN MAN NICHOLSON, 2001 • AMANTADINE INHIBITED H5N1 1997 HONG KONG STRAIN • 8/8 CURRENT ISOLATES HAVE M2 MUTATION CHARACTERISTIC OF AMANTADINE RESISTANCE KLIMOV, 2004 • NAI DRUGS INHIBIT H5N1 IN VITRO, ARE EFFICACIOUS IN INFECTED MICE WEBSTER, 2001
