How to prevent h7n9 avian influenza virus? What's the difference between h7n9 avian influenza and common cold?
There are two special reasons for this. One is recent climate change. Since October 2016, there have been more rainy days, high air humidity and high average temperature, which help to prolong the survival time of avian influenza virus in the external environment.
The second is the frequent occurrence of haze, which stimulates the respiratory mucosa and reduces the resistance to the virus. Whether haze weather has an effect on h7n9 infection remains to be discussed and studied.
In addition, experts explained that the reason why the epidemic is more serious than in previous years is related to the frequent trading of live birds on the eve of the Spring Festival, which is at the peak of the bird flu epidemic.
The Spring Festival of 2014 is January 31, 2015 is February 19, and 2016 is February 8. This year's Spring Festival comes earlier than the previous years, coincides with the peak of avian influenza epidemic, and aggravates the avian influenza epidemic.
