Call to raise awareness of swine flu, zoonotic diseases
Lahore: Medical and veterinary experts have called for precautionary measures and
awareness to check the spread of swine flu and other zoonotic diseases in the
country. "At least 60 per cent of human diseases originate from animals,"
experts said at a seminar on "Swine Flu" arranged by the University of
Veterinary and Animal Sciences (UVAS) Lahore in collaboration with the Pakistan
Medical Society (PMS) the varsity campus on Friday. Punjab Minister for
Agriculture and Livestock Ahmed Ali Aulakh was the chief guest on the occasion,

PMS President Dr Masood Akhtar Sheikh, MPAs Sakina Shaheen and Haji Allah Rakha
were also present. NARC Islamabad Chief Scientist Dr Khalid Naeem
Khawaja, who is also head of the National Reference Laboratory on Influenza
Viruses, spoke about "Influenza viruses emerging trends with international
perspective." He said that swine flu spread from influenza virus-A and it was
highly contagious. He said it is a transboundary animal disease and also
zoonotic (spreading from swine to humans). He said that people of five to 45
years of age were the most affected by swine flu. He said people should wash
hands with soaps frequently besides taking other preventive measures.
Prof Dr Muhammad Nawaz said that over 100 human diseases have their
origin in animals and the people handling animals have to take extraordinary
precautionary measures against such zoonotic diseases. Dr Masood Akhtar
Sheikh said that so far only two cases of swine flu had been reported in
Pakistan while many cases of this disease had been reported in India. He
stressed that awareness should be created among the people about the disease and
preventive measures were the only way to eradicate the swine flu disease.
Dr Fayyaz Ranjha assured participants that all preventive measures had
been taken against swine flu and there was no need to worry about the swine flu.
Dr Mahmood Mukhtar of Department of Microbiology, UVAS, spoke about "Influenza
Virus Genomics". Aulakh said the government was well aware of its
responsibilities and had taken all measures to stop swine flu spread. He said
education and health were the top most priorities of the Punjab government.
He deplored that rural people were victims of zoonotic diseases as they
were always in direct contact with animals while the government was now using
its resources for their welfare. Dr Muhammad Saleem Rana from the
Directorate General Health Punjab also spoke. The news
