Talk:Fujian flu

Fujian flu is interesting
Fujian flu is interesting as it is at the center of a power/politics struggle between WHO and China with the head of WHO just selected as a former China government health official and Chinese poultry vacinations looming in the background as a rumored cause of H5N1.

One article instead of two
I am unclear how much to say about the connection between the two types of flu. A good reason to have both types in one article instead of two articles and a disambig page is that talk of H5N1 recombining is to a degree talk about these two specific strains recombining (such has already occurred in pigs in China and a lab in the US; but in both cases producing nothing that infects humans at all so far as I know.) To complicate it, the H3N2 version has already mutated (drifted) into descendant strains given different names from newer isolates and China is denying the existence of genetic differences justifying singling out the H5N1 Fujian isolates as special while denying access to numerous isolates WHO wants.

not true
> A/Fujian (H3N2) was made part of the trivalent influenza vaccine for > the 2004-2005 flu season and its descendants are still the most common > human H3N2 strain. I don't think this is true. AFAIK the Fujian-strain has almost disappeared now. (Feb.2008) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gsgs2 (talk • contribs) 12:21, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * First, we need a source before we can assert a claim in the article. Second, what you say does not contradict what you quoted. The descendants of Fujian-(H3N2) may or may not be called "Fujian-(H3N2)". I imagine some have been and others have not been called that. Whether any of the existing descendants of Fujian-(H3N2) are still called Fujian-(H3N2), I don't know. But even if they are not, they are still descendants.
