fluFactor Blog Launches
Burbank, CA (PRWEB) February 1, 2006
fluFactor has launched a blog to track the cross-species progression of the Avian, or bird flu as it is commonly known. The blog (http://fluFactor.blogspot.com) is setup to provide commentary and links to resources as the disease moves into the human population.
“The fluFactor blog is specifically setup to provide information and links for general use,” said fluFactor’s founder, Jim Malmberg. “There is a lot of information available on the Avian flu, but I have found very few good sources of information that are consumer friendly. The fluFactor blog is designed specifically to remedy this situation.”
While there are several different strains of the Avian flu, fluFactor is focused predominantly on the H5N1 strain. This particular strain started in the Far East, and has been responsible for a number of outbreaks in the bird populations of China, Tailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. More recently, there have also been fatalities in Turkey and Iraq. The virus has already demonstrated that it has the ability to infect humans; infecting more than 160 people and killing more than half of them. So far, all human infections have resulted from bird to human contact. Scientists believe that H5N1 will eventually mutate so that human to human infection is possible; causing a worldwide pandemic.
