Pathogenicity of Pandemic Influenza Viruses DVD

Product Description:

HOW WIDESPREAD IS THE WORLD PENDEMIC?

An influenza pandemic may occur when an influenza virus radically changes and can easily infect humans, and against which people have little or no immunity.

Pandemics have been recorded every ten to forty years dating back to the 1600s, and likely long before then. There were three during the last century.

In the 1918-19, the "Spanish flu", over 20 million people died worldwide. The last pandemic, the "Hong Kong flu", occurred in 1968. NOW we are at the start of a new

world pandemic - the H1N1 VIRUS
