Drug to treat human case of bird flu developed

For example, Tamiflu is effective only if taken within 48 hours after contracting the virus.

The fatality rate for human infections is about half and patients usually die within a week of being infected.

Amantadine and rimantadine are also used in China against human infections.

While neither is recommended any longer by the World Health Organization as the virus has developed resistance in some countries, "they are still effective in China," said Chen Hualan, the country's top veterinarian from the Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, the only one involved in bird flu research.

In the past week, China has announced several breakthroughs in the battle against bird flu.

On Saturday, scientists at Chen's laboratory announced the development of the world's first live vaccine against bird flu and Newcastle disease, two killer infections for poultry.

Last week, clinical trials began for a human vaccine against H5N1 and Beijing-based Sinovac Biotech Co Ltd, which developed the vaccine, said the exercise may last a year.

Yin Weidong, managing director of Sinovac, said China would need 200 million doses of the vaccine.

"It is better to build up the production capacity of seasonal vaccines, so that when a pandemic occurs, companies can quickly start mass production," said Yin.

The country has reported six human infections of bird flu of which two died by yesterday and 31 major outbreaks among poultry.

The disease has cost the domestic poultry industry losses of more than 60 billion yuan (US$7.5 billion) between October and December, according to official figures.

But thanks to China's aggressive preventive measures, 30 out of 31 outbreak sites have been lifted out of epidemic isolation. By December 14, China had not reported a new case within half a month.
