BACKGROUND OF THE DISEASE

• Mid March a new strain of flu virus similar to
  one seen in pigs was infecting human in Mexico.
• Mid April the confirmed cases started popping
  out in US and around the world.
• June, 11th WHO officially declared the flu
  pandemic. As the flu was spreading, WHO named
  Influenza Type A (H1N1) and now refers to it as
  Pandemic (H1N1) 2009.

• Based on Ministry of Health, the total cases are
  1460 cases with 8 death.
• From 1460 cases, 574 are imported cases (39.4)
  and 886 are local cases (60.6).
• 1410 (96.5) cases have been recovered, 27 (1.8)

WHAT IS H1N1?

• Subtype of influenza virus A and the most common
  cause of influenza flu in human.
• H1N1 strains caused roughly half of all human flu
  infections in 2006.
• Other strains are endemic in pigs (swine flu) and
  in birds (avian flu).
• It is categorized according to 2 types of
  proteins found on the surface of the virus
  Hemagglutinin(H) and neuraminidase(N)
• All influenza A virus have these proteins but the
  structures differ from due to rapid genetic
  mutation in viral genome.

CAUSES OF H1N1

• This new virus was first detected in people in
  the United States in April 2009. This virus is
  spreading from person-to- person worldwide, in
  much the same way that regular seasonal influenza
  viruses spread.
• Influenza A, H1N1 caused particular strain of the
  influenza virus. This particular strain A-
  H1N1/09 originated in pigs (swine) but has
  changed itself to be infective to humans.
• This originally infected only pigs and they
  spread it from one infected hog to other hogs the
  same way it spreads in people, by direct contact
  or by droplets holding the virus in the air after
  a pig coughed or sneezed. Because pigs are
  physiologically very similar to humans, when they
  have been living closely with humans, some
  microbes that can infect them are able to be
  changed or mutated into strains that people can
  catch.

MALAYSIAN Government measures

• Since the Nipah virus outbreak in 1999, the
  Malaysian Health Ministry have put in place
  processes to be better prepared to protect the
  Malaysian population from the threat of
  infectious diseases. Malaysia was fully prepared
  during the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
  (SARS) situation (Malaysia was not a SARS
  affected country) and the episode of the H5N1
  (bird flu) outbreak in 2004.
