<a href= http www porkmag com directories asp pgID=675 amp ed id=7426 >Read the complete report< a> Flu spreads around the world in seasonal epidemics resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands annually millions in pandemic years Three influenza pandemics occurred in the 20th century and killed tens of millions of people with each of these pandemics being caused by the appearance of a new strain of the virus in humans Often these new strains result from the spread of an existing flu virus to humans from other animal species An avian strain named H5N1 had until recently posed the greatest risk for a new influenza pandemic since it first killed humans in Asia in the 1990s Although H5N1 virus has not mutated to a form that spreads easily between people in April 2009 a novel H1N1 flu strain that combined genes from human pig and bird flu initially dubbed the quot swine flu quot emerged in Mexico the United States and several other nations By late April the H1N1 swine flu was suspected of having killed over 150 in Mexico and prompted Mexico and U S travel advisories Vaccinations against influenza are usually given to people in developed countries and to farmed poultry The most common human vaccine is the trivalent influenza vaccine TIV that contains purified and inactivated material from three viral strains Typically this vaccine includes material from two influenza A virus subtypes and one influenza B virus strain The TIV carries no risk of transmitting the disease and it has very low reactivity A vaccine formulated for one year may be ineffective in the following year since the influenza virus evolves rapidly and different strains become dominant Antiviral drugs can be used to treat influenza with neuraminidase inhibitors being particularly effective <a href= http en wikipedia org wiki Influenza > Read More< a>
