Jo asked:


“The H5N1 avian influenza has spread to more than 40 countries in Asia, Europe and Africa, killing over 100 people, and raising concerns tens of millions of people could sicken and die if it mutates to pass easily from person to person.” This is an excerpt from a recent news report. Are we overreacting? Is there a real threat? How does this compare, say to the threat of cancer or heart attacks or car accidents…the list goes on. Is Avian Flu just another health “flavour” of the week or is it a genuine threat? How do we decide what is truly a serious concern to our well being and what steps, if any should we protect ourselves?
Mad Scientist: Excuse me, please read my question carefully. I didn’t say anyone was overreacting, I am asking IF there is overreaction to this health concern.

michelle_my_belle16 asked:


I have to make a 3D model of the avian flu virus. Would this look the same as any other strain of the influenza virus. I’m asking because the only pictures I can find online are of the regular influenza virus, not avian influenza, and I’m hoping I can just use one of those.

Let me know what you think.

Mad Max asked:


I’ve asked this in the infectious diseases section, but wanted to ask in the biology section too since there may be people who know more about influenza.
———————–
Not to sound paranoid, but there are a few odd things about this virus that are emerging. The most alarming is that it appears to have genetic material from avian flu, human flu, and swine flu. Since flu viruses do not exchange genetic material during their reproductive cycle, how could this be a natural phenomenon?
