In the 20th century, influenza virus A infections caused the pandemic severe respiratory illness in humans, some of the cases were fatal. Therefore, it is important for us to know the transmission mechanism and factors that can affect the virulence of influenza viruses. Virulence of influenza virus in birds, mammals and humans is determined by its ability to inflict damage to host cells caused …
Background:H5N1 Avian Influenza virus is expected to continue to mutate, potentially increasing the capacity to jump the species barrier, and can be easily transmitted between humans. This study aimed to analyze the genetic dynamics of the NS1 gene and to recognize markers of virulence in VAI H5N1 NS1 gene sequences from Balinese poultry. Methods:The method used was isolation of RNA, NS1 gen…
Background: Avian influenza infection can occur when there is contact with birds dead/sick, poultry manure (dung) and a polluted environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk of farmers (owners) of poultry infected with avian influenza virus (H5N1) by the method of behavior approach and observation participatory in society Methods: The research method applied is participato…
