 [A1A South] H3N2 Bird Flu Infected, Killed Dogs in South Korea: Avian flu viruses are known to transmit to unrelated mammalian species only rarely, the researchers said. Bird- derived H7 and H4 flu viruses were reported in seals in the early 1980s, and the H5N1 bird-flu strain was found in a dog that fed on a duck infected with the virus in Thailand in 2004, according to the study.

 [Danielleoyrromeo's Weblog] The Bird Flu – Is it really that scarry?: The way Avian Flu does its damage to the body is by depleting Vitamin C stores so quickly that the cause of death is fulminate scurvy.  This is the same scurvy that killed seamen on long voyages.  If we donвЂâ™t get enough Vitamin C, we get sick or die.  Humans cannot make Vitamin C but we need it for a great many vital processes including immune function and vascular integrity.  This type of virus, Avian Flu, uses up Vitamin C stores so quickly that the immune system is overwhelmed and the blood vessels loose their structural integrity.

[Untitled] Fatal Bird Flu Cases In Pakistan: The first case of human-to-human transmission of avian flu in Pakistan has been confirmed. Tests carried out by the World Health Organisation (WHO) show that bird flu killed some members of a family in north-west Pakistan late last year.

 [A1A South] Indonesia Dismisses Fears over Reassortment of Human/Avian Flu Viruses:     ”Such infections are of great concern due to the possibility of genetic re-assortment leading to the emergence of a H5N1 strain that is more easily transmitted human to human, and emphasizes the importance of advanced laboratory-based surveillance in geographic regions where both human and avian influenza viruses are co-circulating,” Cidrap reported.

 [Toniamisty's Weblog] Bird flu basics: The avian flu’s jump to humans was first detected in 1997, although all the human deaths reported so far (about 60 since 2003) have been due to transmission from animals to humans.
