| World's first movies on bird flu - This is the second part of bird flu the virus - This animated, 40 minute movie, gives you critical information on virus, it answers those questions that had been bothering you but did not know whom to ask? , like how does transmission takes from birds to human beings, how does it infect us? How does this virus keeps on changing ?

Jenny tells how bird flu virus infects
people by using pigs as hosts
|
Step by step explanation of bird
flu virus getting transmitted to humans
|
Dr Jones explains how H5N1 has been
mutating by using recombination
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Antibodies of our immune system
recognize a virus
|
Dr. Jones tells them why a bird
or plant virus cannot generally infect us
|
In Part 2 - Virus unable to bind
to a human respiratory mucosa
|
 |
 |
|
|
Human and bird flu viruses can combine
to create a new deadlier virus
|
Pigs can act as an intermediate
hosts for spreading bird flu
|
H5N1 has been mutating by using
the process of recombination
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
Virus binds to pseudostratified
ciliated epithelium cell
|
Human respiratory tract cell infection
by virus
|
This is how a bird virus can infect
humans

There
are two parts of this movie both are sold separately, this
is the part 2
In this part you will see how the bird
virus can infect humans, we take you as deep as your curiosity,
upto the cell zoom-ins so that you can see actual virus infecting
a human cell. 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
Some of the Questions Answered
on Virus
1.What are viruses?
2.How are "bird flu" viruses different from "human
flu viruses"?
3.How are strains produced due to mixing of bird and human
viruses?
4.How does mixing of bird flu virus and human flu virus
take place?
5.What role do pigs play in this cycle?
6.How can pigs be a mixing bowl for avian and human viruses?
7.How do virus mutate?
8.What is meant by antigenic shift, drift and recombination?
9. Can you show us the attachment of bird flu virus to human
ciliated cells?
10.What is transmission mechanism of virus from human to
human?
11. How does evolution of H5N1 takes place?
12.Can H5N1 also kill its carriers, the migratory birds
?
13. How can the virus "jump" from chicken to humans?
14.You mean, Bird flu virus was first discovered in Europe
not in Asia?

| Q1: |
what is the mechanism for virus life cycle? |
sumit |
19/2/2007 |
| Ans: |
The life cycle consists of stages like attachment, penetration, uncoating, biosynthesis, assembly and release of virions, since this space is insufficient we are including a more detailed answer in our forums.Please click on the Q&A link on top to go there. |

| Q2: |
Why pigs are mixing vessels? |
Loy |
6/12/2006 |
| Ans: |
Pigs have both ciliated and non-ciliated epithelial cells hence they can receive viruses from both human and birds, a new virus can be created inside them , hence they are called as mixing vessels. |
| |
|
| Q3: |
what kind of research is going on for vaccine to protection of "Bird flu" ? |
suresh kumar |
22/2/2006 |
| Ans: |
The answer to this warrants an article, we will try to come up with one in future. There are a lot of developments in vaccine for birds and humans, China claims it has successfully developed and tested vaccine for birds, University of Pittsburgh has developed and tested successfully in mice a vaccine made from adenovirus that can handle any H5N1 strain in future, Sanofi pasteur, Swiftwater, PA made a vaccine from inactivated H5N1 virus. All of them under clinical trial |

| Q4: |
what kind of softwares are required for getting results in avian influenza virus? |
suresh kumar |
18/2/2006 |
| Ans: |
Not sure for what purpose do you want the software, from WHO site you can get "Epi Info™ for epidemiologists to rapidly develop a questionnaire or form, customize the data entry process, and enter and analyze data |

|
| Q5: |
what is the main role play an important role of "Bird flu" in proteomics? |
