| ARTICLES RELATED TO Flu | | | |  Flu: Encyclopedia II - Flu seasonInfluenza reaches peak prevalence in winter, and because the Northern and Southern Hemisphere have winter at different times of the year, there are actually two flu seasons each year. Therefore, the World Health Organization makes two vaccine formulations every year; one for the Northern, and one for the Southern Hemisphere.
While most influenza outbreaks in the Northern Hemisphere tend to peak in January or February, not all do. For example, the influenza pandemic of 1918 and 1919 reached peak virulence during late spring and summer ...

| | | | | | Flu: Encyclopedia II - Influenzavirus A - In humans "Human influenza virus" usually refers to those subtypes that spread widely among humans. H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2 are the only known avian flu virus subtypes currently circulating among humans. [18]
Genetic factors in distinguishing between "human flu viruses" and "avian flu viruses" include:
PB2: (RNA polymerase): Amino acid (or residue) position 627 in the PB2 protein encoded by the PB2 RNA gene. Until H5N1, all known avian influenza viruses "had a Glu at position 627, while all human influenza viruses had a lysine."

| | | | | | Flu: Encyclopedia II - Influenza - Treatment If you get the flu, get plenty of rest, drink a lot of liquids, and avoid using alcohol and tobacco. You can take medications such as acetaminophen to relieve the fever and muscle aches associated with the flu. Children and teenagers with flu symptoms (particularly fever) should avoid taking aspirin as taking aspirin in the presence of influenza infection (especially influenza type B) can lead to Reye syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disease of the liver. [3]
During the 2005-2006 flu season in the United States, CDC encourages the use of oseltamivir for flu prevention and the use of oseltami ...

| | | | | Flu: Encyclopedia II - Avian influenza - In humans
Avian influenza - Infections.
In humans, avian flu viruses cause similar symptoms to other types of flu. [15] These include fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, conjunctivitis and, in severe cases, severe breathing problems and pneumonia that may be fatal. The severity of the infection will depend to a large part on the state of the infected person's immune system and if the victim has been exposed to the strain before, and is therefore partially immune. In one case, a boy with H5N1 experienced diarrhea followed rapidly by a coma without developing respiratory or flu-like sym ...

| | | | | Flu: Encyclopedia II - Influenza - History There were several serious outbreaks of influenza in the 20th century. The most famous (and the most lethal) was the so-called Spanish Flu pandemic (type A influenza, H1N1 strain), which lasted from 1918 to 1919, and is believed to have killed more people in total than World War I. While the war casualties accumulated over several years, the pandemic took most of its toll over a period of weeks. Lesser flu epidemics included the 1957 Asian Flu (type A, H2N2 strain) and the 1968 Hong Kong Flu (type A, H3N2 strain).

| | | | | Flu: Encyclopedia II - Influenza - Prevention It is possible and in many cases recommended to get vaccinated against influenza with a flu vaccine. However, due to the high mutability of the virus, a particular flu vaccine formulation usually only works for about a year. The World Health Organization co-ordinates the contents of the vaccine each year, to contain the most likely strains of the virus which probably will attack the next year. The flu vaccine is usually recommended for anyone in a high-risk group, who would be likely to suffer complications from influenza. Flu vaccine is available as nasal spray vaccine (recommended for all healthy people ...

2. New virus
3. Self limiting
4. Person to person
5. Epidemic exists
6. Pandemic exists
Influenza is an extremely variable disease and is also found in pigs (swine flu), birds (bird flu), and other animals. In areas where there are high concentrations of humans, pigs and birds in close proximity, such as parts of Asia, simultaneous infections across species enable genet ...

| | | | | Flu: Encyclopedia II - Avian influenza - In nonhumans Wild fowl act as natural asymptomatic carriers of avian flu virus. Prior to the current H5N1 epizootic, strains of avian influenzavirus had been demonstated to be transmitted from wild fowl to only birds, pigs, horses, seals, whales and humans; and only between humans and pigs and between humans and domestic fowl; and not other pathways such as domestic fowl to horse. [4] H5N1 has been shown to be also transmitted to tigers, leopards, and d ...

| | | | | Flu: Encyclopedia II - Influenza - How H5N1 kills H5N1 is a virus. It has eight RNA molecules in each virion. The exact molecular makeup of hundreds of genotypes (variants) of both H5N1 and other avian flu viruses are known. For example, according to this genome database, the NS RNA molecule of one variant of H5N1 looks like this:
