Editor's Notes
- [Presenters: This slide set was developed by the International Team, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Content is current as of the dates on individual slides. To update the global numbers of cases, deaths, countries affected and to access the latest maps, consult the following weblinks. Slides : Cases, countries, deaths: http://www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/en/index.html Daily situation updates: http://www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/updates/en/index.html
- Influenza A viruses are further subtyped by two proteins on the viral surface, called hemagglutinin (or HA) and neuraminidase (or NA). Hemagglutinin allows the virus to attach to host cells, while neuraminidase allows the virus to escape infected cells, and then go on to infect more cells. There are 16 known hemagglutinin and 9 known neuraminidase subtypes for Influenza A. Each hemagglutinin subtype is named using an “H” plus a number, such as type H1, H2, and so on. In the same way, each neruaminidase subtype is named with an “N” plus a number, such as type N1, N2, and so on. Many different combinations of HA and NA proteins are possible.
- This figure illustrates the range of species that Influenza A sub-types can infect. The species that specific HA subtypes can infect are listed on the left, and the species that specific N1 subtypes can infect are listed on the right. Note that wild migratory waterfowl can be infected with all subtypes. Within the H5 and H7 subtypes, certain strains can be severe.
- Add human-human arrow and emphasize humans.

- Overview of WHO’s Pandemic Alert Levels Phase 3 of the pandemic alert period is when there are human infections with a new sub-type, but there is no human-to-human spread (or at least very rare instances of spread to a close contact). At this point, the new virus subtype must be characterized rapidly to ensure early detection, notification and response of additional cases. Phase 4 may occur when there are small clusters (e.g., <25 human cases lasting <2 weeks) with limited human-to-human transmission, but spread is highly localized (which suggests the virus does not adapt well to humans). During this phase, WHO describes a variety of measures (such as targeted use of antiviral medications) aimed at containing the virus within a limited area or to delay spread to buy time to implement preparedness measures, such as vaccine development. Phase 5 may occur when there are large clusters (e.g., 25-50 cases lasting 2 to 4 weeks), but human-to-human spread is still localized. The virus may not yet be fully transmissible. At this point, it is imperative to continue efforts to contain or delay spread of the virus, to both avert a pandemic and to implement pandemic response measures. Phase 6 is when transmission to the general population has increased and is sustained, meaning there is a pandemic. All efforts to minimize the impacts of the pandemic are necessary at this time.
- The World Health Organization has raised the pandemic flu level to 6 on June 11, 2009. The 1918 pandemic flu event was the most severe to date (>50 million deaths worldwide). Milder pandemics occurred in 1957 (about 70,000 deaths in the U.S.) and 1968 (about 34,000 deaths in the U.S.)
- In the United States each year, illness from influenza has a major impact on the people’s health and the nation’s economy.

- Influenza primarily infects the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs). The disease can cause severe illness and lead to life-threatening complications, such as pneumonia, in many people. ***Diarrhea and vomiting not common symptom of seasonal flu*** ---added runny nose since it is in case definition
- It is thought that the main way influenza viruses are spread from person to person is through transmission of respiratory droplets during coughing and sneezing. Close contact (about 6 feet or less) usually is necessary for this type of spread. Influenza viruses also can spread by touching respiratory droplets on yourself, others, or an object, then touching mucus membranes, such as the mouth, nose, or eyes, without washing contaminated hands.
- It is very important for anyone with symptoms to avoid contact with others, but seek medical care if any of the symptoms listed in this slide are present. Go to this website for updates: http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/guidance_homecare.htm
