Both H5N1 Bird Flu and H1N1 Swine Flu Replikin Counts Are Increasing
H5N1 Outbreaks, Predicted One Year Ago by BioRadar(TM), Now Appear in 63 Countries; TransFlu(TM) Vaccine Shown Effective Against H5N1 in Chickens
LONDON, April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The most recent BioRadar(TM)
(FluForecast(TM)) analysis of the virus genomes of both H5N1, known
for high lethality, and H1N1, known for high infectivity, indicates
that the Replikin Counts(TM) of both strains are rising. Such Count
increases in a specific strain have been invariably associated with
clinical outbreaks of that strain. The H1N1 outbreak in 2009 was
predicted one year in advance by BioRadar(TM) software
(replikins.com, Replikins Press, 2008). Previous H5N1 outbreaks,
and their location (Indonesia), were correctly predicted, and most
recently, the current H5N1 outbreak was similarly predicted one
year in advance by BioRadar(TM) software (replikins.com, Replikins
Press, January 15, 2010).
This new data will be presented at the forthcoming scientific
workshop on the "Replikins BioRadar(TM) Surveillance System" on
April 30th, sponsored by UK Trade and Investment, to take place at
1 Victoria Street, London. Scientists from public health
institutions in the U.S., U.K., Denmark and France -- initial
participants in the BioRadar(TM) surveillance network -- will
attend (http://www.newsroom.uktradeinvest.gov.uk/news.ashx).
Past pandemics have seen the predominance of only one influenza
strain. The H1N1 virus Replikin Count, as of April 7, 2010, has not
returned to pre-outbreak levels, but in fact is rising. At the same
time, the H5N1 virus Replikin Count continues to rise in a third
cycle, as predicted by H9N2-H5N1 data one year ago (replikins.com,
Replikins Press, January 15, 2009), and now realized in new
outbreaks of H5N1 reported in 63 countries (CIDRAP, March 23,
2010), with 22 human cases, 8 fatal this year (WHO, March 30,
2010). Egypt has reported 16 human cases, of which 5 have been
fatal (CIDRAP, March 15, 2010). Vietnam has had 2 lethalities
(Reuters, March 18, 2010).
Replikins, Ltd. has produced a Synthetic Replikins Vaccine,
TransFlu(TM), with elements against both H5N1 and H1N1. In an
independent trial, TransFlu(TM) vaccine has blocked H5N1 in
chickens (doi: Avian Diseases 10.637/8892-042509-ResNote.1). This
is one example of the function of the BioRadar(TM) system of "Early
Detection->Rapid Response." Formulation of the TransFlu(TM)
vaccine began over one year ago, based on H5N1 Replikins Analysis,
when the increase in H5N1 virus Replikin Count predicted the
present H5N1 outbreaks.
