Hi, am going to put 2 posts here and would ask for any possible guidance.
#1
Seem to have stumbled on a site which has all the info on animal health ref virus's around the world but not as I can find in the USA.
Not sure that I should be there but didn't hack it, just fell on it?
To change pages you need to change the reportid=11586 id, in the address line, so from 11586 to 11587 etc
Few items:
UK has had Schmallenberg virus confirmed since 23.01.2012 http://web.oie.int/wahis/public.php?...reportid=11539
Australia has now its first case of avian H5 http://web.oie.int/wahis/public.php?...reportid=11554
Israel has a MAJOR problem with Newcaslte virus millions of birds culled, no cure, http://web.oie.int/wahis/public.php?...reportid=11071
Russia, India, China the list goes on and on... many many problems, millions destroyed.
Just take the 9 million oysters destroyed, http://web.oie.int/wahis/public.php?...&reportid=9527 or the fact of salmon found to have virus's but were sold and I quote
this is 175000 fish! http://web.oie.int/wahis/public.php?...&reportid=7717This population had been slaughtered for human consumption by the time definitive laboratory results for ISA virus were available
I cant go through all this my self and once its known that anyone can just go in there, it will be stopped!
So what do you think?

Taking the "Schmallenberg virus".
This is an "Emerging disease". Began in Germany ( first outbreak 27/12/2011 and named after the town http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmallenberg ) Date of first confirmation of the event 12/01/2012 http://web.oie.int/wahis/public.php?...reportid=11514
Then goes through Netherlands, sorry have to say the above is not correct! Even though we are told it started in Germany, it would seem that the first outbreak in the Netherlands was on the 19/12/2011 and Date of first confirmation of the event 19/12/2011 http://web.oie.int/wahis/public.php?...reportid=11447
So the into France Start date 20/01/2012 Date of first confirmation of the event 24/01/2012 http://web.oie.int/wahis/public.php?...reportid=11568, and now the UK Start date 14/01/2012 Date of first confirmation of the event 23/01/2012 http://web.oie.int/wahis/public.php?...reportid=11539 Which then puts it sooner than France!!
Now this has moved very quickly.
As yet it is unknown if it can affect humans.
http://ec.europa.eu/food/animal/dise...s/index_en.htmReports say ithas only affected ruminants and transmission to humans is unlikely.
http://www.government.nl/issues/agri...llenberg-virusBased on all the available information, experts conclude that the transmission of the virus to humans cannot be excluded but is highly unlikely.
etc, etc, etc.
Now this is a
real-time reverse transcriptase/polymerase chain reaction (RRT-PCR)
reverse transcriptase http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_transcriptase
Well studied reverse transcriptases include:
polymerase chain reaction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymerase_chain_reactionHIV-1 reverse transcriptase from human immunodeficiency virus type 1
So this virus is DNA based and changes the DNA from the RNA?The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a scientific technique in molecular biology to amplify a single or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence.
Developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis,
Def need some help on this molecular biology stuff?
Oh forgot to say that what "Schmallenberg virus" does is mutate the ofspring of a species, who then all die.
So NO YOUNG!
Also please note that there has been No culling in any way to attempt to stop this!
