EPIDEMIC FLU VIRUS

or the emergency created by the epidemic of influence of the pigs in Mexico it was correct not to create alarmism’s being

victims of a bad information. The possibility that the virus arrives in other parts of the world is real as for all the types of

influence virus. In order that a strain has a wide distribution, its antigenic characteristics must ensure that it escapes the

neutralization of antibodies of the host and of the surrounding population. So, the outbreaks will happen with those strains that

have dominant antigens that fit the deficiency, or better, the absences of antibody in the population. It seems, in conclusion that

the flu virus shows an ability and an aptitude for survival built on the possibility of emergence of new models that allow the virus

being confused easily through populations still partly immune to previous antigenic forms. According to this view, the changes in

the influenza A can be designed in single meaning, in the context of a principle and of an evolutionary progress, from Burnet said

immunological drift or steering immunology. The antiviral drugs (inhibitors of the neuraminidases, receptor of the virus surface)

should be assumed within 48 hours by the appearance of the influence symptoms and for the subjects that have had a close

contact with people infected by the flu virus. The vaccination against the influence is the most effective method to prevent the

illness. From the moment that we find the isolation of a new flu virus, we must wait for the preparation of a new specific vaccine

that will be ready for the next influence season in Autumn.
