World's first movies on bird flu - This is the first part of bird flu the virus - This animated, 45 minute, movie arms you with detailed information on virus, it answers those questions that had been bothering you but did not know whom to ask?, like how can a "bird virus" infect human beings, How can the virus jump from chicken to humans? If this H5N1 virus has been present since 1997, why is there no medicine or vaccine available even today to fight it?

Mia shows the real virus to Sid
and Becky through electron microscope
|
Dr. Jenny elucidates the difference
between a bird flu virus and a human flu virus
|
Influenza viruses are of three types
A, B,C
|
|
|
|
Jenny explains about H5N1 virus
|
Dr. Jones explain about the RNA/DNA
part of the virus
|
Mia tells Sid about the infection
process of a bird
|
|
|
|
Human and bird flu viruses combine
to create a new deadlier virus
|
Mutation of virus takes place in
a cell using reassortment creating its copies or virion
|
Dr. Jones clarifies the difference
between influenza and other viruses
|
|
|
|
Becky learns why vaccines don't
work
|
Virus has
previous jumped to human beings from animals before
also
|
There are combinations for which
antibodies are present
|
|
There
are two parts of this movie both are sold separately, this
is the part 1, the part 2 deals with viral transmission
to humans.
Virus
is a strange entity it is "un-dead" and when it
comes in contact with a living cell it becomes alive and
causes diseases and deaths. This movie takes you onto a
journey of discovering the virus. The movie explains it
in an easy to understand, interactive format. It answers
many questions, some of them are given below. There are
two more movies on bird flu, go to their pages on our site
to get more details about this virus
