Avian (Bird) Flu

Avian flu virus H5N1 has been a major concern recently. Most humans have not been exposed to this strain of the virus, so they have not produced the necessary protective substances. A vaccine has been developed and is being made in large quantities. However, much more time is needed to manufacture enough vaccine to protect most of the human population of the world.

Most flu virus strains affect the upper respiratory tract, resulting in a runny nose and sore throat. However, the H5N1 virus seems to go deeper into the lungs and causes severe pneumonia, which may be fatal for people infected by this virus.

So far, this virus has not been known to spread directly from one human to another. As long as H5N1 does not change to another strain that can he transferred from one human to another, a worldwide epidemic of the virus probably will not occur.

3.Identify one event that could result in the virus changing to a form able to spread from human to human.

The diagram below represents a marine food web and a process that can harm the human population. each circle represents an organism and the smaller dots inside them represent a toxic substance. what is being represented and how does it harm the population? the diagram represents biological half-life, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents biomagnification, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents the process by which different organisms prey upon each other; this can impact the human population by reducing the number of organisms that do not contain the toxin. the diagram represents the way that toxins are metabolized by living organisms, with those at greater trophic levels able to metabolize more efficiently than those at lower levels. this means that those at higher tropic levels are safer for humans to consume compared to the organisms at lower trophic levels.
