Public Health Notice: H7N9 avian flu in China

HATTIP TO PATHFINDER!

Released: 4 April 2013

Why you should take note

On March 31, 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that three people in the People’s Republic of China were infected by a new type of avian influenza virus identified as A(H7N9). All cases developed severe pneumonia and breathing difficulties, resulting in the death of two of the three cases. To date, the total number of confirmed cases of human infection with this H7N9 virus in China is nine including three deaths. Additional cases are likely to continue to be reported.

Risk to Canadians

The H7N9 flu virus causing illness in people in China has not been identified in birds in Canada.

There have been no reports of human illness in Canada associated with the H7N9 flu virus currently causing illness in China.

The risk posed to humans by avian influenza in birds is generally very low. Avian influenza does not transmit easily from birds to infect humans.

While there is no risk of catching the flu virus by eating affected poultry, Canada, in fact, does not import raw poultry or raw poultry products from China.

Canadians should protect themselves and their fellow citizens from seasonal/annual influenza by:

• Getting an annual flu shot;
• Washing hands frequently;
• Covering coughs and sneezes;
• Keeping common surfaces clean; and
• Staying home when sick.

What the Public Health Agency of Canada is doing

The Agency works closely with its national and international partners, including the WHO, to track all types of flu activity in Canada and around the world.

An Agency medical expert is based in Beijing and is liaising with the Chinese infectious disease prevention authorities on this outbreak.

The Agency's National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) has access to the H7N9 whole genome sequence through the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data (GISAID). This information allows the NML to rapidly detect the H7N9 flu virus.

The NML is also working closely with provincial laboratories to ensure they are also able to test for the H7N9 flu virus.

Q226L Signals Recent H7N9 Human Adaptation

Recombinomics Commentary 07:00
April 4, 2013

Webby said the H7N9 viruses are showing changes that are hallmarks of adaptation to mammals, the same types of mutations that have been seen when other flu viruses — which all have their origins in water birds like ducks — learn to infect mammalian species.

One of the changes is in what's know as the receptor binding site. Bird viruses use a different receptor to latch on and trigger infection than flu viruses that have adapted to infect humans and other mammals. And the genetic sequences of the H7N9 viruses show they have started to make that change, Webby said.

As well there are a couple of other mutations seen in these H7N9 sequences that are known to be indicators of viruses that have switched to mammalian hosts from avian hosts, he said.

The above comments describe the receptor binding domain change Q226L.  Although multiple media reports are beginning to cite genetic changes, none actually say the name of the change (and some, like the ECDC risk assessment completely ignore it)
 
The change is well known and all three studies on H5N1 transmission introduced this change prior to ferret infections.  Moreover the 1957 pandemic, which involved H2N2 had the change, as did the H3N2 in the 1968 pandemic.  When new H5N1 bird flu cases were reported, agencies would claim that the H5N1 couldn’t transmit human to human (H2H) because the two key changes, Q226L and G228S, were not present.  Neither of the changes have been reported previously in H5N1 or H7 isolates from any species.
Thus, the presence of Q226L in the two most recent sequences has caused considerable concern, although media reports, like the one cited above just discuss Q226L in general terms, in contrast to prior reports on H5N1 transmission studies, which commonly cited the two key changes by name.
However, the appearance of Q226L is very recent.  The first isolate, A/Shanghai/1/2012 had PB2 E627K and the 5 amino acid deletion in the N9 stalk, but Q226L was not present.  This isolate was from the first confirmed case (87M) who was part of a suspect cluster.  Q226L was in the two subsequent isolates, A/Shanghai/2/2013 from the second confirmed case (27M) and A/Anhui/1/2013 from the third confirmed case (35F).
This recent development has been followed by an explosion of cases.  There have been six additional confirmed cases ringing Shanghai (seemap).  Like the first 3 cases, all have been severe (fatal or hospitalized in the ICU).  There have also been two recent suspect deaths (see map) and more cases are being cited on twitter (see map).
The recent appearance of Q226L, as well as D225G on H7 and E627K on PB2 raises concerns that the number of severe and fatal cases will spike higher.
Release of sequences from the recent cases would be useful.  The presence of Q226L in most recent cases is expected, and the appearance of additional receptor binding domain changes, such as G228S would be catastrophic.

The virus now mutations Experts: H7N9 fear a pandemic

　The scientists pointed out that the first discovery of the H7N9 avian influenza virus gene sequence data, this virus has certain mutations may will form a human pandemic.

　　There is no evidence of infection killing nine people including 3 people sick to death of the H7N9 infection between people, known in mainland China. This virus may gradually disappear, without complete mutation adult influenza-like illness. Canada homes

　　The mainland authorities announced that a number of H7N9 confirmed cases only after a few days, flu experts have laboratories around the world in search DNA sequence data of the patient samples to assess the possibility of a pandemic.

　　Aust House (Ab Osterhaus), one of the world's top flu expert, Netherlands, Erasmus Medical Center (Erasmus Medical Centre) pointed out that this virus gene sequences revealed that certain mutations, it is worth authorities alert The need to strengthen the monitoring of animal and human.

　　Aust House said in a telephone interview, "in a way, the virus has to adapt to mammals and human, for that matter, is worrying,"; "We should be really high degree of attention to this situation".

　　Kyodo News from the mainland reported that the H7N9 virus previously been regarded as a "weak toxicity" low public health risk, but the continent diagnosed infections are severe. Genetic Analysis results show that the patients found in the body of the virus as "strong toxicity.

China announced to mobilize all resources to fight bird flu

Updated April 4, 2013

Increase in the number of people infected with the H7N9 avian influenza in China, the Chinese authorities announced spending of national resources to deal with avian flu, neighboring countries also are trying to step up preventive measures.

So far, China has four people died of the H7N9 avian flu, 11 people were confirmed to be infected with this virus, and these people are mainly concentrated in the eastern region.

The latest of a deceased person who died Thursday in Shanghai. This 48-year-old man during his lifetime had poultry contact.

Prevention

Japan, Hong Kong, strengthened security and preparedness. Vietnam (3) to prohibit imports of poultry from China.

H7N9 seems not contagious from person to person, but the Hong Kong authorities to be on the safe side, at the airport increased vigilance. All inbound and outbound travelers must notice air service if you feel unwell.

Hong Kong authorities also closely monitor the chicken farm, and to suspend imports of live chickens from mainland China.

In Japan, the airport at the entrance to put up a billboard, prompted China to travelers, are sick or suspected of being infected with avian flu to seek medical help immediately.

Open and transparent

China's Ministry of Health said on its website on Wednesday (3), to mobilize the resources and strength of the country's health, to deal with avian flu.

The Beijing government learn from the lessons of previous treatment, Texas, committed to the rapid exchange of information with domestic and foreign.

But the number of Internet users in China, and newspapers have questioned why the Government so long before announcing the new cases, especially the two fell ill in February already infected. However, the Chinese government said it will take time to correctly identify the virus.

The Ministry of Health of China, will continue to be open and transparent with the World Health Organization and relevant countries to maintain communication and exchanges, and to strengthen the monitoring and prevention measures.

Flu experts from around the world also are removed from the patient's virus samples were analyzed to determine whether there is a possibility of the evolution of the adult classes massive flu outbreak.

At the same time, China also need to find out whether there is any animal infected with the H7N9 virus, to figure out how this virus is transmitted to humans.

Influenza virus experts say that this new type of avian influenza have occurred some genetic variation, and then mutate, it is possible to develop into interpersonal infection. http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=zh-CN&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fzhongwen%2Fsimp%2Fchina%2F2013%2F04%2F130404_birdflu_latest.shtml

RUMOUR-2 medical personnel infected ?

Zhejiang and Shanghai add another two cases of H7N9 avian influenza net exposure of medical personnel infected

 A few days ago, the continent of the H7N9 avian flu patients is increasing. April 4, Zhejiang and Shanghai has added 2 patients, the Shanghai one cases have died. At the same time, the network has exposed Zhejiang Xiaoshan Hospital medical staff of the two contact H7N9 avian flu two cases of fever are in isolation. At present, the confirmed infections reached 11 cases, 4 deaths. The people lament too terrible, and questioned the accuracy of the figures of the Official Journal of.

The unknown H7N9 pneumonia fear dyed severe death into two or three

Shanghai official claimed, did not receive the unknown new cases of pneumonia, but the information from the hospital came opposite. Shanghai, a well-known tertiary hospitals the respiratory department director of the doctors yesterday told this reporter, the hospital treated pneumonia and severe pneumonia increased compared with previous years, the unknown severe pneumonia mortality up to two to three percent, "Of course, there may be" poultry influenza, and sent these highly doubt sample submission. In avian flu designated hospitals, located in Jinshan District of Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center embattled require medical personnel around the clock to open the phone, waiting to receive patients notice at any time.

　The respiratory department medical director pointed out that, usually, even ordinary pneumonia also half not find the cause of severe pneumonia can not find the cause of it more, rather the unknown severe pneumonia mortality rate two to three percent. According to his observation, pneumonia and severe pneumonia patients this year than the same period last year. He revealed that, though there are no blood samples for inspection of all unknown severe pneumonia, but highly suspected samples have been sent to the Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control.

　Although I do not know the unknown with severe pneumonia in what "hidden" with the number of cases of the avian flu, admitted to the hospital has been embattled. The Shanghai government announced the day before the influenza pandemic contingency plans started three response set to the designated medical institutions, and is located in Shanghai Jinshan District of Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, isolation and treatment of patients.

Clinical Center, Building A3 structures of beds

　Reporters yesterday afternoon came to Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, perhaps it is because the Government has set this the designated hospitals sake, between few patients. The door of the emergency room around 15:30 Close, respiratory and fever clinics at just an ordinary patient in a clinic for medical treatment, and no patients in addition to the hall.

English.news.cn   2013-04-04 19:17:36 PHNOM PENH, April 4 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia's Health Minister Mam Bunheng on Thursday appealed to parents to distance their children from poultry in order to prevent the spread of bird flu from poultry to humans, said a joint statement by the Health Ministry and the World Health Organization. "Avian Influenza H5N1 remains a serious threat to the health of all Cambodians, and kids also seem to be most vulnerable and are at high risk because they like to play where poultry are found," the minister said in the statement. "I'd like to appeal to parents and guardians to keep children away from sick or dead poultry and prevent them from playing with chickens and ducks," he said. He added that parents and guardians must also make sure children wash their hands with soap and water after any contact with poultry. "If they have fast or difficult breathing, they should seek medical attention at the nearest health facility and attending physicians must be made aware of any exposure to sick or dead poultry," he added. The minister's appeal was made after a six-year-old boy from Southwestern Kampot province was confirmed on Wednesday as the 10th person who contracted with Avian Influenza H5N1 in 2013. The boy developed fever, convulsions and dyspnea (shortness of breath) on March 27, and his mother had bought some medicines from a local pharmacy for him until his condition worsened. The boy was sent to the Kantha Bopha Hospital in Phnom Penh on March 31. "Currently, the boy is in a critical condition," the statement said Thursday, adding that it is not known whether the boy had direct contact with poultry. The country records the worst outbreak of the virus this year since the disease was first identified in 2004. To date, the country has reported 31 human cases of the virus, with 27 people killed. H5N1 influenza is a flu that normally spreads between sick poultry, but it can sometimes spread from poultry to humans, said the statement.
