With reference to G4 Flu virus- a “newly emerged” strain of influenza virus, consider the following statements: i. It can grow and multiply itself in the cells that line the human air passage. ii. It has the capability of binding to human-type receptors like, the SARS-CoV-2. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

The correct naswer is None of these.

  • G4 Flu virus is a strain of influenza virus that is infecting Chinese pigs.

Key Points

  • This strain has genes which are similar to those in the virus that caused the 2009 flu pandemic.
  • The new strain was identified through surveillance of influenza viruses in pigs through a study carried out from 2011 to 2018 in ten provinces of China.
  • It has the capability of binding to human-type receptors such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus binds itself to ACE2 receptors in humans.
  • The new strain is termed as G4 EA H1N1 which can grow and multiply itself in the epithelial cells lining up the human airways.

"Too often we try to solve human problem with non-human tools and in terms of non-human data. It is my simple thesis that a human problem requires a human solution. First we have to learn to recognise a human problem when we see one; and second, upon recognising it, we have to learn to deal with it as such and not as it were something else. A human problem to be brought to a human solution requires human data and human tools". Who said this?
