Introduction
 Swine flu is also called 2009 H1N1 virus, a type
influenza virus which spread person-to-person.
 Pigs are source of swine flu which then transmitted
into human.
Symptoms of swine flu
Swine flu emergency warnings
In Children
 Fast breathing
 Bluish skin color
 Not drinking enough fluids
 Not waking up or not interacting
 Fever with a rash
In adults:
 Difficulty breathing
 Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
 Sudden dizziness
 Confusion
 Severe or persistent vomiting
Vaccination
 A vaccine is a biological treatment which improves
the immunity to a particular disease. Vaccine
contains agent which resembles a disease causing
microorganism, and made up of weakened or killed
forms of microbe or its toxins.
Types of vaccination
 A 2009 H1N1 "flu shot" vaccine
 Killed virus or called inactivated vaccine that is given to the patient
with the help of needle in the arm. This type of vaccine is used for both
swine flu and seasonal flu shots
 The 2009 H1N1 nasal spray flu vaccine
 Live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) is a similar to the flu shot
vaccine but difference arises in ranges of age, it is for those who are 2 to
49 years old and women’s with no pregnancy.
Role of bio-informatics in Swine flu
 Old style vaccination was by injecting material into
the chicken egg, which sometimes cause life at risk,
because of high dose into it.
 Modern Vaccination is done through DNA, in which
Infectious disease researchers extract just a few genes from
the DNA of the swine flu to make a vaccine. The process
includes microscopic particles are coated with the vaccine
and injected or shot into the body at super-fast speed using
needle free device.
Tools for detecting swine flu
 In Brazil scientist have created a machine which uses nanotechnology by
detecting and diagnosing infectious part of disease very quickly and with the
cheaper solution
 The test is based on fluorescent (microscope) material, which is made-up of
polymer and Nano particle attached to a “primer” a segment of the DNA and
RNA that specify and matches the part of pathogen’s genetic material.
Microscope can detect even a tiny amount of virus in the test.
Effect of Swine flu in Pakistan
 Very few cases has been observed in Pakistan around
10 people reported to death.
 There is no vaccination production center in
Pakistan instead they import and give patient
according to the level.
Conclusion
 Swine flu is more harmful in Cold environments because of
less tendency to stop as compared to Asian region.
 Only solution to stop or limit swine flu is through
vaccination and DNA vaccination is more advanced way to
detect and eliminate dieses in the body.
