Influenza:
seasonal, pandemic, avian
Human influenza
• Seasonal influenza:
– Annual outbreaks due to minor changes in the
surface of the influenza viruses
– Human have partial immunity due to previous
infections.
• Pandemic influenza: )‫(الجائحة‬
– Global and worldwide severe epidemic
– Due to major change
– No human have partial of fully immunity
against infection because it is a completely new
virus.

Animal influenza
• Avian influenza
– Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI)
– Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza
• Outbreaks of new avian influenza
– Increase the risk of a human pandemic
– Through the merging of animal and human
influenza viruses.
Influenza virus H5N1
•
The new H5N1 avian influenza is a
potential candidate for pandemic
influenza:
1. Can affect animals and birds on a large scale
2. Can affect humans and cause severe disease
3. But still can not be transmitted from humanto-human
How to control/prevent pandemic
influenza?
1. Containment of potential human
pandemics at the source
2. Containment of HPAI in animals
at the source
Pandemic Influenza modeling:
Time factor
Any delay will reduce the
probability of eliminating large
epidemics in humans
Probability of eliminating a large epidemic using social and geographical targeting
prophylaxis, varying with the delay (0-4 days) from case detection to prophylaxis for
the 5-km radius policy
• Delay of 4 days reduce
the probability of
eliminating a large
epidemic of a new
pandemic virus to:
– <50% for a virus with
R0=>1.5
– R0 quantifies the
transmissibility of
pathogen

WHO pandemic influenza plan
1. The success of any strategy for containing an
emerging pandemic virus is strictly TIME

2. Objectives of containment strategy
– To stop, or at least to slow, the spread of pandemic
influenza at the source of its emergence in order to
reduce global morbidity and mortality

intensified surveillance, contact tracing, monitoring contacts
for signs of illness
Phase 2 - exceptional measures: voluntary quarantine, social
distancing, mass antiviral prophylaxis

Effective disease surveillance for early detection and reporting
Enhanced biosecurity of poultry farms
Control of movement of birds and products
Changes to industry practices to reduce risk
Rapid, humane destruction of infected poultry and poultry at high
risk of infection (stamping out)
Disposal of carcasses and potentially infective material in a
biosecure and environmentally manner
Proper use of vaccine

If Influenza A/H5N1 virus
appears in Lebanon
• All response measures aim to:
– Prevent the spread of the virus
– Contain the virus at the source (focus)
If Influenza A/H5N1 virus
appears in Lebanon
•
Response measures include:
1. Specify a 3km radius zone from the index case and
control its movements at entry and exit
2. Control (destroy) all poultry in the security zone (3km
radius)
3. Detect poultry cases in a 7km radius zone with enhanced
veterinarian surveillance
4. Detect human cases in affected areas
5. Prepare health structures to manage human cases
6. Close community gathering places
7. Rise public and professional awareness
