CCTV News: Zhang Yanping, an expert in infectious disease prevention and control in China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, had an online exchange with CCTV netizens on the prevention and control of new influenza A (H1N1). Zhang Yanping answered the question that netizens are concerned about whether H1N1 is a common disease or a difficult disease.

Zhang Yanping said that influenza A (H1N1) is a new infectious disease, which has just appeared, and we lack a basic understanding of its epidemic law and characteristics. It has not been found in the mainland, so the information we get is the basic information obtained through the exchange between the World Health Organization or some other institutions, not to say that it is a difficult disease, because it is an infectious disease of respiratory tract, and we have a basic understanding of common influenza and seasonal influenza, which we can completely prevent and control according to the epidemic characteristics of this disease.
Zhang Yanping said that the emerging disease can be called a new type of influenza A (H1N1), and the common influenza prevalent in China can be called seasonal influenza. First of all, the two diseases have different meanings and different genotypes. In addition, infectious diseases are the same, consistent, all patients and normal people mentioned just now, and the transmission route is the same, except that the virus of influenza A (H1N1) is reported to be mainly young and middle-aged. In addition, the epidemic performance is similar. Another important feature is that our seasonal flu has a corresponding vaccine, but this new type of flu has no vaccine at present.
Zhang Yanping told netizens that the Institute of Virus Prevention of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, where he works, is an institution engaged in the prevention and control of infectious diseases, mainly focusing on the basic structure of these viruses and the whole development. For this time, our main task is to research and develop diagnostic reagents for influenza A (H1N1), which have been developed in this respect and may be diagnosed within 12 hours if necessary.
