|
| The overall international response to evolving pandemics has been shockingly slow and remains shamefully underresourced. |
|
| Air travel means that modern societies are more vulnerable to pandemics than before, because it has made the world so small. |
|
| Past pandemics, in less globally connected eras, have taken six to nine months to complete their global passage. |
|
| During pandemics, there are large surges in the number of people needing medical treatment, and health services quickly become overwhelmed. |
|
| Internationally reputed experts were invited to present the latest developments in scientific research on flu, bird flu and flu pandemics. |
|
| Finally, we commit ourselves to a regular review of our work in the field of tackling these three pandemics. |
|
| Influenza viruses periodically cause worldwide epidemics, or pandemics, with high rates of illness and death. |
|
| It also fosters deadly pandemics and creates a favourable climate for terrorist groups and organizations to flourish. |
|
| Human development cannot take place without a global response to the major pandemics. |
|
| An understanding of the genetic makeup of the most virulent influenza strain ever seen could help health officials manage possible pandemics in the future. |
|
| It is a small effort worth making if we want to avoid a descent into widespread anarchy, terrorism, pandemics of global disease, and other avoidable calamities. |
|
| Influenza pandemics are global outbreaks that emerge infrequently and unpredictably and involve strains of virus to which humans have little or no immunity. |
|
| The flu has been around for years, but it has caused some of the greatest pandemics of death and mortality in human populations simply by virtue of the fact that it mutates. |
|
|
|
| In addition to wars, pandemics and drought, Africa is faced with severe soil depletion. The quantity of essential nutriments required for sustainable agricultural production is gradually diminishing. |
|
| Sanofi-aventis has introduced specific programs to combat two of the three major pandemics affecting developing countries: malaria and tuberculosis. |
|
| Territorial jurisdiction and national sovereignty gave frontiers an importance which advances in telecommunications, atmospheric pollution, pandemics and credit cards were already refusing to recognize. |
|
| Most people would agree that fighting influenza pandemics is something in the public interest, the concern Ovum raises is how far this could go, particularly if the data ends up being attributable to an individual? |
|
| These pandemics each resulted in more than one million deaths globally. |
|
| Epidemics prevailing over wide geographic areas are called pandemics. |
|
| Since, April 2007, he has been in charge of the structure, and has been fighting to prevent the hecatomb: more than six million people, in the developing countries particularly, die every year from these three pandemics. |
|
| It also happens that countries afflicted by some of these pandemics find themselves held hostage, when they try to address them, by those who make economic aid conditional upon the implementation of anti-life policies. |
|
| But the great pandemics continued to be rife, and Frascator enacts the general principles of the contagion, favoured by the crowding in the baths. |
|
| The greatest danger, however, is posed by various flu pandemics that may break out when a new flu virus subtype emerges that is transferable from one human to another. |
|
| There has been talk of pandemics and bioterrorism. |
|
| An audacious search for answers amid more than a century of data, The Chimp and the River tells the haunting tale of one of the most devastating pandemics of our time. |
|
| Serious human influenza epidemics are rare, but recurrently they are more severe than the normal seasonal outbreaks, in which case they are also called pandemics. |
|
| Epidemics, pandemics and other health risks could also occur which could adversely affect our ability to maintain operational networks and provide services to our customers. |
|
| Throughout history, there have been a number of pandemics, such as smallpox and tuberculosis. |
|
| The most recent pandemics include the HIV pandemic as well as the 1918 and 2009 H1N1 pandemics. |
|
| Our up-to-date influenza estimates may enable public health officials and health professionals to respond better to seasonal epidemics and pandemics. |
|
| During this time, pandemics of European disease such as smallpox devastated the indigenous populations. |
|
| However, by the end of October, only 59 people had died as a result of H5N1, which was atypical of previous influenza pandemics. |
|
| Further, flu pandemics generally exclude recurrences of seasonal flu. |
|
|
|
| Such a subtype could cause a global influenza pandemic, similar to the Spanish Flu, or the lower mortality pandemics such as the Asian Flu and the Hong Kong Flu. |
