Product Description
Global concern about the potential for pandemic avian influenza is rooted in the pathogenicity of avian influenza virus strains in humans and the lack of immunity to these highly mutable viruses in the general population. Avian influenza A (H5N1) re-emerged in 2003 with greater virulence and a wider host range than that seen following its 1997 debut. Although transmission of avian influenza A (H5N1) from animals to humans remains inefficient at this time, mutation or genetic reassortment with human influenza virus strains could trigger an influenza pandemic facilitated by the mobility of modern society and the lack of an effective vaccine. Dr. Alan Sanders provides timely, practical advice on how to improve clinical awareness and implement strategies for diagnosing, treating, and preventing avian influenza. |
