    Introduction: the blue part of the picture is H5N1 avian influenza virus, and the red part below is healthy human cells The picture shows that H5N1 is attacking healthy cells What is the H5N1 avian influenza virus that has killed 63 people and endangered hundreds of millions of people around the world? On November 6 local time, the Swedish Daily News published a group of high resolution close-up photos of H5N1 avian influenza virus taken by a high-power scanning microscope In the picture, a string of blue balls are attacking and destroying healthy red cells The newspaper claims that the photos are the only first in the world The high-resolution photos were taken by Lennart Nilsson, 83, a famous Swedish photographer, using a high-power scanning electron microscope Karin Boye, a technology reporter for the daily news, told the media that Nelson had initially sought samples of the virus from US laboratories but had been turned down Finally, Nelson obtained virus samples from the World Health Organization and brought them to the Caroline medical school in Stockholm for cultivation The samples were from a father and daughter in Hong Kong, China, who died of bird flu two years ago The blue part of the picture is the H5N1 avian influenza virus that everyone hears The red part below is healthy cells The photos show that H5N1 is attacking normal and healthy cells The avian influenza virus attaches to healthy cells one by one, then destroys tissues step by step, and finally spreads all over the healthy cells, seriously eroding the function of cells There are only 19 amino acids in the 4500 amino acids of H5N1 virus and human influenza virus Once the difference drops to 10 amino acids, avian influenza will mutate The World Health Organization points out that the current H5N1 virus strain can only be transmitted to human body through poultry, but the virus is easy to mutate It is necessary to prevent it from contacting with human influenza virus strain for gene recombination, and mutate the "human to human" avian influenza virus Hundreds of millions of human lives will be threatened if avian influenza is spread among people Since 2003, H5N1 avian influenza virus has killed 63 people in Southeast Asia At present, the spread of avian influenza has spread rapidly, and it has spread to Croatia and Britain in Europe Nielsen is an explorer of micro world photography He is the official technical photographer of the Caroline medical school in the north of Stockholm The annual Nobel Prize in medicine is decided by the school In June 2003, Nelson published the first picture of the process of SARS virus attacking human cells in the world.
