Public health officials and organizations around the world remain on high alert because of increasing concerns about the prospect of an influenza pandemic, which many experts believe to be inevitable. Moreover, recent problems with the availability and strain-specificity of vaccine for annual flu epidemics in some countries and the rise of pandemic strains of avian flu in disparate geographic regions have alarmed experts about the world's ability to prevent or contain a human pandemic. The workshop summary, The Threat of Pandemic Influenza: Are We Ready? addresses these urgent concerns. The report describes what steps the United States and other countries have taken thus far to prepare for the next outbreak of "killer flu." It also looks at gaps in readiness, including hospitals' inability to absorb a surge of patients and many nations' incapacity to monitor and detect flu outbreaks. The report points to the need for international agreements to share flu vaccine and antiviral stockpiles to ensure that the 88 percent of nations that cannot manufacture or stockpile these products have access to them. It chronicles the toll of the H5N1 strain of avian flu currently circulating among poultry in many parts of Asia, which now accounts for the culling of millions of birds and the death of at least 50 persons. And it compares the costs of preparations with the costs of illness and death that could arise during an outbreak.

In recent public workshops and working group meetings, the Forum on Microbial Threats of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) has examined a variety of infectious disease outbreaks with pandemic potential, including those caused by influenza (IOM, 2005) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) (IOM, 2004). Particular attention has been paid to the potential pandemic threat posed by the H5N1 strain of avian influenza, which is now endemic in many Southeast Asian bird populations. Since 2003, the H5N1 subtype of avian influenza has caused 185 confirmed human deaths in 11 countries, including some cases of viral transmission from human to human (WHO, 2007). But as worrisome as these developments are, at least they are caused by known pathogens. The next pandemic could well be caused by the emergence of a microbe that is still unknown, much as happened in the 1980s with the emergence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and in 2003 with the appearance of the SARS coronavirus. Previous Forum meetings on pandemic disease have discussed the scientific and logistical challenges associated with pandemic disease recognition, identification, and response. Participants in these earlier meetings also recognized the difficulty of implementing disease control strategies effectively.

Veteran journalist Gina Kolata's Flu: The Story of the Great Influenza Pandemic of 1918 and the Search for the Virus That Caused It presents a fascinating look at true story of the world's deadliest disease. In 1918, the Great Flu Epidemic felled the young and healthy virtually overnight. An estimated forty million people died as the epidemic raged. Children were left orphaned and families were devastated. As many American soldiers were killed by the 1918 flu as were killed in battle during World War I. And no area of the globe was safe. Eskimos living in remote outposts in the frozen tundra were sickened and killed by the flu in such numbers that entire villages were wiped out. Scientists have recently rediscovered shards of the flu virus frozen in Alaska and preserved in scraps of tissue in a government warehouse. Gina Kolata, an acclaimed reporter for The New York Times, unravels the mystery of this lethal virus with the high drama of a great adventure story. Delving into the history of the flu and previous epidemics, detailing the science and the latest understanding of this mortal disease, Kolata addresses the prospects for a great epidemic recurring, and, most important, what can be done to prevent it.

A wide-ranging study that illuminates the connection between epidemic diseases and societal change, from the Black Death to Ebola This sweeping exploration of the impact of epidemic diseases looks at how mass infectious outbreaks have shaped society, from the Black Death to today. In a clear and accessible style, Frank M. Snowden reveals the ways that diseases have not only influenced medical science and public health, but also transformed the arts, religion, intellectual history, and warfare. A multidisciplinary and comparative investigation of the medical and social history of the major epidemics, this volume touches on themes such as the evolution of medical therapy, plague literature, poverty, the environment, and mass hysteria. In addition to providing historical perspective on diseases such as smallpox, cholera, and tuberculosis, Snowden examines the fallout from recent epidemics such as HIV/AIDS, SARS, and Ebola and the question of the world’s preparedness for the next generation of diseases.

In the case of the last virus, the most ideal carrier animal for is a bat or snake, since humans don't consume snakes and bats in several areas of the world, but in some places like China they are consumed, and it is suspected that the new outbreak is also linked to the consumption of an infected bat. The same is the cause for other virus outbreaks in the past. To prevent future epidemics, governments must take action on making policies for the sale and purchase of livestock like bats and snakes, and proper testing should be done before taking wild animals to the big markets near denser urban areas. One is the virus being brought into the market by an infected individual, the second is about the virus getting in the market with one infected animal, and the third predicts about the virus getting in the market with the help of several animals at once. This book covers the following topics: A Brief History Business Risk and Continuity Planning Who Is Most At Risk? Modern Virus Protecting Yourself Using Mask ...and much more!!! As far as animals are concerned, numerous contagious diseases have been transmitted from animals to humans by living with them and consuming them. Viruses keep adapting to different organisms and somewhere in between some humans consume them and get infected with a new type of viral or bacterial infection. At this time, many people are wondering about how the actual outbreak started. Many suspected the Seafood Market to be the origin of the outbreak. But now the latest paper written by a large group of Chinese researchers from various institutions offers in-depth details about the people who got admitted into the hospital. It is said in the paper that the first person was admitted to the hospital no connection with the Seafood Market was found, and the number of people unrelated to the seafood market was a large percentage, according to Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease specialist at Georgetown University. But it doesn't mean the virus hasn't been spread through the Seafood market, as many stalls were tested and showed a positive sign of the virus. Well, it is impossible to find an exact place of origin for this infectious and contagious disease, but it is also believed that it spread from animals to humans and then reached the Seafood Market, where it got a chance to infect the rest of the visitors in market. Furthermore, Lucey says that the virus should have been transmitted between people just before because all of the viral diseases require a certain incubation period before showing any symptoms. Now it is very clear that the virus arrived in Seafood Market before getting transmitted to the population. However, you may click the buy button to know more a lot what is happening the earth!

The three greatest killers in human history have not been war, famine or natural disaster. They have been influenza, Black Death and AIDS. In the face of Avian Flu,The Little Book of Pandemics asks, how anxious should you be? Should you be keeping an eye out for tell-tale discharge? Should you flinch at every cough and itch? Is that headache really just a headache? And what will happen if you do succumb? In May 2005, scientists urgently called nations to prepare for a global influenza pandemic that may hit up to 20 percent of the world`s population. But just how worried should we be and how far has medical science evolved to contain all the threats that surround us? From rashes, tremors, nausea, fever, dizziness, swelling, fainting, bleeding, spasms, blindness, shock, coma and death, here is a fascinating insight into 50 of the most virulent and vicious plagues, pandemics and infectious diseases currently known to medical science. From outbreak and symptoms to chance-of-survival percentages, everything you need to avoid is here.
