ABSTRACT

The Center for Diseases Control and Prevention of Atlanta Georgia USA, has considered to the avian influenza virus A, Subtype H5NI, the number one world’s health threat, that remains like the more viable candidate for an influenza pandemic. In the last three years the H5NI strain surmounted the barrier species with fatal human and animal cases, and historically imprecedent outbreaks in poultry (more than 4200), and wild birds, and by his geographical extension: more than 50 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and Middle East, and his highest mortality. The H5NI strain to has an extraordinary structural, genetical, clinical and epidemiological similitudes, with the pandemic strain of the 1918 Influenza pandemic, actually are spreading following the migratory paths of wild birds.
