Traduction de «Virus eXchange » (Anglais → Français) :

- that poultry cullers wear protective clothing and take antiviral drugs as a precaution; vaccination against normal seasonal influenza should be encouraged as a way to reduce the chance that this high-risk group might be co-infected with an avian and a human virus, thus giving the viruses an opportunity to exchange genes and to generate pandemic virus strains.

However, genetically, when these viruses in North America and Asia and Europe have been looked at, it appears that there's actually very little exchange of genes—some, but very little suggesting that there's probably not much exchange, but there probably is some.

In 2003 the EWRS has been used occasionally by the national health authorities as a working tool for the exchange of different types of information, as exemplified by messages related to events 12 (poultry influenza in the Netherlands), 28 (West Nile virus in France), and 33 (influenza in EU).

I would recommend that a national centre or regional centres be set up for a variety of reasons, including the coordination of the collection and exchange of information, rapid exchange of information so that we can respond more rapidly to invasion threats, similar, in a way, to Centers of Disease Control, because diseases actually are invaders, too. We're always anticipating the flu virus; it's an invader.

If you infect a host with two viruses at the same time, those viruses can exchange genetic material and you can come out with a hybrid.

- Objective: Stronger international cooperation in legal and judicial affairs By actions which include: - working together more closely on obtaining evidence and other information - developing a nowhere to hide policy for international fugitives through better international mechanisms for extradition, deportation and mutual legal assistance - Objective: To promote environmental protection and nuclear safety By: actions which include - a more intensive dialogue and coordination of negotiating positions on major global issues in fora such as the UN Commission on Sustainable Development and the Global Environmental Facility - more discussion on regulatory cooperation on chemicals issues such as trade in hazardous chemicals, harmonisation of cl ...[+++]assification and labelling and reduction of risks from hazardous substances - continuing work on biotechnology issues and stepping up efforts to decrease air pollution - joint projects to help Central and Eastern European countries and the countries of the former Soviet Union deal with their environmental problems - joint efforts to secure the safety of all nuclear power stations throughout Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, the Ukraine and the NIS - promoting the ratification of the International Convention on Nuclear Safety - Objective: A global early warning system and response network for communicable diseases By actions which include - a joint task force to develop and implement the system (see box) - increased training and professional exchanges - increased follow-up on World Health Organisation resolutions on outbreak and reporting responsibilities and strengthened response centres HEALTH Tracking viruses If an Early Warning System for communicable diseases was created, it would enable scientists to track mutations and variations in killer viruses such as HIV, Ebola and the Hanta.
