Avian Flu is an increasingly discussed topic among the media and medical associations such as the CDC (Center for Disease Control). The threat of a global epidemic is very real as the virus has transferred from birds to humans.
Digital 2000 has developed a new Avian Flu video designed to inform people on Avian Flu and how to help prevent catching or spreading the Avian Flu. The Avian Flu training video is a 17 minute presentation.
AVIAN FLU: AT A GLANCE
What Is It: A form of influenza believed to strike all birds, though domestic poultry are believed especially prone to it. It also has jumped to humans, though no human-to-human transmission has been reported.
Avian Flu Spreading from wild birds, to pultry, to humansHow It's Passed: Infected birds spread the virus through saliva, feces, and nasal secretions. So far, only humans with direct contact with sick birds have caught the disease. But scientists are worried that bird flu could link with regular human influenza, mutate, and become a deadly new virus and trigger a pandemic.
Symptoms In Humans: Fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, eye infections, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress, viral pneumonia.
flu vaccinationTreatment For Humans: World Health Organization says this year's strain is resistant to cheaper anti-viral drugs, amantadine and rimantadine.
Scientists are exploring more expensive treatment. The World Health Organization also recommends quarantining sick people.
Most experts agree that prevention is the best possible avenue, since vaccines may not be available and vaccinations do not always cure the illness. |
