Sweden the daily news on global independence den avian influenza virus

A cluster of blue balls are attack healthy red cells

Avian influenza viruses in healthy cells

Serious erosion cell function

Step by step to destroy tissue, and finally with the healthy cells

Photos of blue section is the H5N1 avian influenza virus, following the red part of the healthy human cells, the photos show the H5N1 is attack healthy cells.

Already 63 deaths and endanger the lives of millions of people in the world of H5N1 avian influenza virus what? local time 6 November, Sweden "daily news" published a group consists of power electronic scanning microscope photos of H5N1 avian influenza virus in high resolution close-up photos. Photos on a bunch of blue ball is attack, destroy healthy red cells. The paper claims that this group of pictures is the first global exclusive.

This group of high-definition photographs as Sweden's famous 83-year-old science photographer Lennart Nilsson · (LennartNilsson) using power electronic scanning microscope produced. The daily news on Science and technology journalist Karin · Boise on media, Nilsson initially find United States laboratory for virus samples, but was refused. Ultimately, Nilsson from who obtain virus samples, samples brought to the cultivation of Carolyn medical school in Stockholm. Virus samples from two years ago died of bird flu in a father and daughter to Hong Kong, China. Photos of blue, is that everyone is alarmed by the H5N1 avian influenza virus, following the red part of the healthy cells. The photo shows the H5N1 is attacking normal healthy cells, avian influenza virus individually attached to the healthy cells, and then gradually undermine the Organization, and finally with the healthy cells, serious erosion of the cell.

The H5N1 virus and the human influenza virus a of 4500 19 different amino acid only, once the difference down to 10 amino acids, avian influenza is mutation. Who pointed out that the current H5N1 virus strain can only be transmitted to humans through the birds, but this virus is easy variants, you must guard against it and the human influenza virus strains of contact for recombinant, mutation "person-to-person" avian influenza virus.

At present, the rapid spread of avian influenza outbreaks, most West has spread to Europe and the United Kingdom of Croatia.

Nilsson is a microcosm of photographic explorers, identity is located north of Caroline in Stockholm School of medicine, science and technology of the official photographer of the year's Nobel Prize for medicine was awarded by the medical decisions as to who. In June 2003, Nilsson in the world's first published the SARS virus attacks human cell process pictures.
