Avian Influenza Virus and hereon designed vaccines
The avian influenza is a virus disease which has recently broken out among birds and fowl in ten states of Asia. According to recent reports from Vietnam and Thailand, the virus can be passed on to the human being in case of a close contact with the infected animal. So far there is no scientific proof concerning a transmission from human to human. As reaction on the outbreak of the avian influenza the EU has enacted a prompt stop of import of fowls and poultry from Thailand. Experts are still working on the development of vaccines.
