Ok.I just heard yesterday that the BIRD FLU(science) PROJ will be in the answer format. So..,I have to kinda redo it.with questions this time.;D But they actually said do an article so, i'll do both i guess.(actually,its just copy + paste:3)

1) Give an introduction on the bird flu e.g how it was discovered, its effects on us till now etc.
AVIAN FLU AND ITS THREATS
Answer:Avian influenza is an infectious diesease caused by bird flu viruses. These viruses occur naturally among birds. The man who discovered the bird flu threat was Dr. Rob Webster of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.He first discovered that human flu is related to bird flu in 1957, but few paid attention to what he saw as a great danger. But when bird flu first infected humans in Hong Kong in 1997,Webster's ideas got a lot of attention.On his advice, the government there killed all the chickens and stopped the outbreak. But since then, Webster has identified the virus in migrating birds. But up till now,bird flu is still affecting us.

2) Give a clear logical explanation why the bird flu cannot be easily spread to humans.
Answer:H5N1 settles in cells deep within the lungs. If the virus needs to settle deep down in the lungs before making someone ill,he or she need to be in an environment where lots of them are around him or her. Huge clusters of H5N1 viruses need to be around that person for some of them to have a chance of getting way deep down into his or her lungs. Basically,that person has to surround him or herself with lots of sick birds and stay very close to them for a long time to catch the diesease. But if someone has the bird flu and sneeezes,hardly any viruses will be sent out because they are deep down in that person's lungs.

3) Explain how some people still suffered from the infections by the H5N1 virus.
Answer:Why some people still suffered from H5N1 is mainly because they had direct or close contact with H5N1-infected poultry or H5N1-contaminated surfaces like secretions or excretions from infected birds.Materials such as water or feed that have been contaminated with the virus also causes humans to suffer from H5N1

4) Suggest why isolating patients is an effective first line defense against the spread of such diseases.
Answer:Isolating Patients is an effective first line defence against the spread of such diesease as by isolating the patient,the diesease would be confined to that room and would not spread to others, causing them to be infectied. By doing so, the number of infected cases would not rise.

LOL.quite simple once its done actually XPPP
