    • 2. What happens when a new influenza virus is discovered?
      Influenza viruses are constantly evolving and changing. They are regularly changing their structures through genetic recombination. Some of these modifications are minor – and are called drifts. The constantly changing nature of influenza viruses is the reason why people are required to have an influenza vaccination every year, vaccines from previous years do not necessarily offer protection because the influenza strains have evolved; annual vaccination is necessary to ensure that the strain used in the vaccine is close to the strains that circulate and cause infection. When a major genetic change, a so called shift, occurs in one or both of the influenza A virus surface proteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) no one has immunity to this then new virus.
       
      When such a new virus is discovered there are some important steps to be taken by researchers and public health experts like investigating the virus structure to be able to start developing a vaccine and performing tests to determine whether and which antivirals can be used for treatment. Furthermore, it is important to determine the infectiousness of the virus, to investigate how fast it is transmitted, how long the incubation period is and to know the disease severity.
       
      Such information and early detection of cases is important for implementation of rapid public health measures to prevent and control the spread of the virus. In this respect efficient international coordination and collaboration is key and ECDC works together with the European Commission, partners in the EU Members States and international partners such as the World Health Organisation and the Unites States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    • 3. How do experts know when there is a new influenza virus?
      A new influenza virus can not be identified from the very beginning due to lack of appropriate tests for it. A first suspicion of an influenza A virus may be raised when not all components can be determined, for example with the current A(N1H1) virus experts started to consider it being a novel virus when laboratory tests could identify the virus as type A but couldn’t identify the sub-type. Furthermore, the suspicion of a new virus can be triggered by more severe or untypical clinical presentation of a disease but the final confirmation comes only after complex laboratory investigations performed by specialised laboratories comparing the genetic information of the virus with that of known viruses.

So my question is it possible to undergo pulmonary transplantation in your country, what is needed to be done to sing in, what is the price of the procedure? best regards. Lidiya Tarasenko.
      Dear Ms. Lidiya,
       
      Thank you for you question.
      It is difficult to say something concreet.
      We would like to reccomend you to visit Lithuanian specilaists and to speak with them directly.
      The best way is to contact Vilnius University Hospital Santariškių Klinikos (VUH SK), which is one of the major academic diagnostic and treatment centres, the tertiary multi-profile personal health care services providing institution in the Republic of Lithuania.
       
      Or one of the private clinics:
