Bird flu diagnostic kit C015 / 8805
Bird flu diagnostic kit. Reagents for diagnosing influenza type a H7N9 infection in humans. This virus first emerged in the human population in China, in March 2013. The natural hosts of the virus are wild birds. Unusually, infected domestic chickens do not show symptoms, which increases the potential for spread to humans that have contact with chickens. A fifth of human infections are proving to be fatal. As of May 2013 no human to human transmission has been recorded

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Bird flu diagnostic kit C015 / 8805, a crucial tool in the battle against influenza type A H7N9 infection in humans. Developed specifically for diagnosing this deadly virus that emerged in China back in March 2013, this kit contains essential reagents and equipment needed for accurate diagnosis. The virus primarily affects wild birds, but what makes it particularly alarming is its ability to remain asymptomatic in infected domestic chickens. This poses a significant risk as humans who come into contact with these seemingly healthy chickens can easily contract the virus. Shockingly, one-fifth of human infections have proven fatal so far. As of May 2013, there have been no recorded instances of human-to-human transmission. However, scientists and researchers are working tirelessly to prevent such an eventuality by studying the pathogen's biology and developing effective protective measures. In this image captured at a laboratory within North America's United States, we witness cutting-edge research being conducted on avian flu strains using state-of-the-art equipment like PCR primers and probes. The lab technicians work meticulously inside a fume cupboard while handling cultured samples from infected birds. This photograph not only highlights the critical role played by microbiological research and virology but also serves as a reminder of humanity's ongoing fight against infectious diseases in the 21st century. It represents our collective dedication to understanding pathogens like orthomyxoviruses and finding ways to protect ourselves from their devastating effects.
