In the United States created the most dangerous strains of influenza virus

27
A scientist working at the University of Wisconsin, located in Madison (USA) and having previously recreated in vitro the virus of the famous "Spaniard", has created a new strain of influenza. This time, he modified the strain of the famous influenza virus H1N1 (swine flu). About the number of deaths from this virus, scientists argue so far. However, if we take into account the most pessimistic forecasts of specialists, the victims of the pandemic of swine flu in the 2009-2010 years around the world could be up to 500 thousands of people. The fact is that the influenza virus H1N1 kills people with its complications that are able to infect the most diverse organs of the human body. For example, the researchers found that a significant proportion of deaths from this virus is due to cardiovascular diseases, which were not even initially taken into account.

The fact that the professor of virology Yoshihiro Kavaoka managed to create a modified strain of the H1N1 influenza virus sample 2009 of the year was written in the beginning of July by the British newspaper Daily Mail. Creating a new strain of the virus, Kavaoka hoped to develop a vaccine against influenza, but created a new virus that is currently resistant to human immunity. Yoshihiro Kavaoka tried to develop a strain that existed even before the famous 2009-2010 pandemic, in order to see in practice how the virus had changed during the last 4 of the year.

As a result, the scientific work of the professor was seriously criticized by a number of scientists. According to them, if a new strain of the virus somehow can leave the laboratory, it will be a serious threat to all mankind. “Kavaoka has modified the influenza virus, making it so that humanity will be powerless if this strain breaks out behind the walls of the laboratory. Everything that the professor did before, and so it was very dangerous, however, this work of his surpasses the previous ones by the level of madness, ”one of the scientists on condition of anonymity told English journalists. We can agree with this, if we consider that the new strain of the virus is resistant to the immunity of people, and there is no vaccine against it.

In the United States created the most dangerous strains of influenza virus

In turn, employees of the University of Wisconsin say that the risk of such a development is practically non-existent, and the work done by Professor Yoshihiro Kavaoka is primarily aimed at developing new flu vaccines. At the same time, the professor of virology himself acknowledges the fact that there is always a risk in any research. However, his team tried to mitigate the consequences of any potential problems with the project. At present, there is no threat to humanity, the studies that Kavaoki has carried out have been completed, and their results and conclusions have been published in scientific journals.

It is worth noting that Kavaoka previously worked with a much more well-known influenza virus. We are talking about the famous "Spaniard", which for nothing that raged in the world after the end of the First World War, but still "well-known". The pandemic of this virus in the early twentieth century led to the death of millions of people worldwide from 50 to 100. At the same time, the scientist used some fragments of avian influenza strains to create a virus strain similar to the “Spanish flu”, reports The Guardian. The virus was born thanks to reverse genetics. It was created on the basis of viruses that circulate today among birds, and is endowed with the ability to be transmitted by airborne droplets.

In an article that was published by Yoshihiro Kavaoka in the specialized journal Cell Host and Microbe, he describes the process of creating a virus. The article states that he and his team analyzed the genes of some strains, which strongly resembled the "Spanish flu". These viruses were artificially combined into one new one in such a way that scientists were able to develop a pathogen that is only 3% different from the famous 1918 virus of the year.


Researchers say that their work is very important for assessing the risks that today are responsible for the human disease of birds. As in the case of the new swine flu virus, many scientists opposed the development and asked to finish the experiments. The former president of the Royal Society, and once the chief scientific adviser to the British government, Sir Robert May, one of the most respected epidemiologists on the planet, said earlier that Kavaoki’s studies are extremely dangerous.

“I’m concerned because such studies only show a growing trend in the development of new viruses without any serious justification for public health. Such work is risky even when carried out in the most protected laboratories. Scientists cannot create such a risk without having convincing evidence that their work will save human lives. There is no such evidence in the article, ”said Mark Lipsic, a professor of epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health. He is deeply convinced that the negligence admitted in such studies can cause a pandemic catastrophic for humanity. At the same time, Kavaoka himself says that his research has already brought real benefits, since if there had previously been discussions about the need to accumulate the H5N1 vaccine (bird flu), then today this question can already be considered completely closed.

Influenza viruses today circulate freely enough in wild bird populations, most of these viruses are not transmitted to other creatures, including humans. However, viruses may well mutate, forming forms that will be dangerous to humans. For example, since 2003, at least 5 people died in the world from the H1N386 avian influenza strain in the world, according to official WHO data. There is an assumption that the famous "Spaniard" in 1918 year came to the people from birds.


Pandemic "Spaniard" lasted 18 months. In 1918-1919, it led to the death from 3% to 5% of the population of our planet. According to various estimates, the flu virus died from 50 to 100 million people, and the number of infected people reached approximately 550 million people, which was almost a third of the population of the Earth at that time. The disease manifested itself as pneumonia, cyanotic complexion and coughing up blood. The last influenza pandemic 2009 of the year was caused by a virus belonging to the same group of microorganisms.

    In the 2000s, there was an outbreak of Ebola, then I remember on TV one professor from the Russian Academy of Sciences said that the virus was of state origin. By the way, then the United States was going to sell the WHO some kind of remedy for this infection, and the Russian Federation announced that they had found a better remedy and were ready to provide it for free. And somehow everything was hushed up. I had previously watched the "X-Files" m / s, where the virus is thrown into the prison to check how it will work in natural conditions. Then I thought it was fantastic. Then there were also "accidental leaks" from different laboratories in the USA and Great Britain: either the patient's belly escaped, then something leaked through the sewers.

      Correctly. In the United States, an Ebola vaccine has been developed.
      And if an epidemic breaks out there, they are their sick
      heal safely. So it is necessary to do.

      Ebola has always been in Africa. Moreover, what is interesting is how it comes from nowhere, so after a while, having collected the "bloody harvest", leaves. And so it happened more than once. In the meantime, the natives of monkeys will not stop eating monkeys, and they will never stop, there in some places they generally use this and that for food, dream at night - "kondraty" will embrace, so from time to time they will pull this infection out of the jungle. And not only Ebolu. There are hemorrhagic and simple fevers, names alone, like mud. Various degrees of infectiousness and mortality. An endemic region, you know. Well, the fact that with the development of communications, everything began to creep, so far, thank God, only across the African continent, so what's so surprising? It will be crap when dragged into the "white" world! And what will be brought in sooner or later, do not go to the "grandma"! That's when we'll jump. I say that I know because I saw it. It was not easy to carry me there. Thank God he stayed alive. More than 20 years have passed.

    If you do not recreate the virus, then it’s impossible to do
    and a vaccine against him.
    When one of the hundreds of flu viruses that spins
    constantly on our ball, naturally mutates
    in the direction of "Spaniard", the vaccine against him will already be ready.
    Ridiculously educated people do not understand this.
    And the idea of ​​using the flu virus as a weapon is absurd, since
    it can be easily transported, for example, migratory birds, mosquitoes.
    Its distribution cannot be controlled.

      Um, "create" and "recreate" are slightly different things. And it's very easy to play too, in the sense of leaks, but nothing can be done, science should develop.
      By the way, the flu is really absurd. Remember how easily the "bird flu" jumped out of Asia and spread all over the world?

    Russia can stop all this orgy with arms races in a very simple way, create a "nuclear mega charge or mega charges" hidden on its territory and, in the event of an attack in any form, make an impossible habitation on earth. You may say that it sounds not humane as it sounds terrifying, but super effectively and for many centuries will discourage even the thought of attacking us and spending funds on the well-being of ordinary citizens tortured for centuries and make the life of Russian people better

        Someone is a guest, and someone is the master of the house. If the owner of the house is exterminated in order to live in his house at ease, then the owner has two ways (unless, of course, it is impossible to defeat and expel the aggressor): 1) dutifully exterminate and free up living space; 2) burn the house with yourself and the aggressor.

One consoles that if this "civilization" destroys itself, then it goes there too ... and it is not correct to call this bedlam CIVILIZATION ... If a society cannot defend itself against herostrats, then such a society should not exist ...

    By the way, an interesting movie, but did France wash their hands, or did they all decide to dump the damned democrats ?, note there is the Pasteur Institute in Africa !, and with regards to Ebola, the last time they said there were 3 varieties, now 5 !!! but this ....... more importantly another Neither Can or Does not want to point to the foci of primary occurrence. And still the truth wrote this in a commentary on the Dyatlov Pass; again the same; mystical; 10-15% of survivors, (I repeat) only about 10% of the world's population Are not susceptible to HIV infection, is it due to protein bodies, maybe the same thing here? By the way, after reading Dear Kruglov, and after all, for other epidemics, there is the same picture, sometimes more interesting - some indigenous or long-settled peoples in this area are not susceptible or weak
    susceptible to severe diseases mowing aliens, maybe it has something similar here? By the way, people who were born in mixed native-aliens are not at risk.

    Dear Kir!
    Local, if they have acquired immunity, then more from things such as dysentery, E. coli, amoebiasis, etc. Their stomachs are really tinned! Ours were cut down, at once! Personal hygiene for "whites" is a very important factor! And also water! Only bottled or boiled. And never add ice anywhere! How many people got caught on this! Which, many times, I myself have witnessed. But fevers, especially yellow, or "paint brushes", mow them, the natives, in sufficient quantities. Much depends on the form of the disease. Short, on the 2nd, maximum of the 3rd day, dress in a "pine mac"! They treat this with fatalism, and therefore, do not "soar"! But they are dying, really a lot! Yes, and AIDS, there is dofiga! If you really look at things, then it seems that up to 50-60% of the population in the countries of the equatorial, and indeed the tropical zone, can be infected. Although, who the hell, it is officially recognized! But in private conversations ... So, with women, you have to be as careful as possible! And better, well, go to them! You will be more whole! Although the mulattos are awesome there! Well, this is so, by the way ...

    PS And more. If we have such a topic ... I strongly do not recommend climbing into closed African reservoirs, and into rivers, too, without special need, to nothing. I'm not saying to accidentally swallow some water. This is understandable paragraph! And if this is not enough, then you can still collect nematode larvae on the coastal sand. If this is not enough, so also the infection under the slang name "rose" can be picked up! And then it won't seem a little at all! This is when from an infection that has settled in it, the intimate organ swells, and then bursts into four parts and opens like a "flower". To the root! Brrrrr !!! Well, whoever saw, he understood me! And this is all hell is being treated! Do you need it ?!
    And we have not even heard about such diseases, let alone cure ... Some of the drugs for tropical misfortunes are produced by the French and Portuguese. It is understandable that there were tropical colonies. The Swiss make something out of medicines, they are not bad for "paint brushes". But in fact, what "white" medicine does not know, local "shamans" treat with their herbs, lapping, lotions and powders! And even then, by no means everything. So, CHILDREN DO NOT WALK TO AFRICA !!!
    PPS If you really want to swim, swim in the OCEAN! That's just in the tropical African, ocean shallow water, on a small fish with sharp as thorns fins, called "THREE MINUTE", DO NOT step on! There is NO antidote !!! laughing
