Important!

Canada on 2 May reported the identification of the A(H1N1) virus in a swine herd in Alberta. It is highly probable that the pigs were exposed to the virus from a Canadian farm worker recently returned from Mexico, who had exhibited flu-like symptoms and had contact with the pigs. There is no indication of virus adaptation through transfer from human to pigs at this time.

There is no risk of infection from this virus from consumption of well-cooked pork and pork products.

Individuals are advised to wash hands thoroughly with soap and water on a regular basis and should seek medical attention if they develop any symptoms of influenza-like illness.

This chapter is an off shoot of the parent IAMM body and is guided by its constitution and principles.

The Chapter has undergone various revivals and revisions since its inception in the early 1990s.How ever, it was only towards the end of the last decade of 20th century that it was put on a steady course and since then it has grown in strength, both in activities and in membership. In the year 2001 end it was proposed and passed by the general body, that the corpus fund would be increased, hence ‘one time contribution’ from the members, towards the chapter was initiated.

Besides a newsletter was also added to the chapter’s initiative and a name adopted for it as ‘Jeevanu times’. Since 2002, there have been 7 such issues till April 2005 and 8th one is due in October-November 2005.

As the role of Microbiology in Health care increases, the academic activities should keep pace with recent developments in the field .To help towards this and to further the cause of Microbiology in India, especially in this part of the country, all medical/clinical microbiologists in and around Delhi NCR region, are requested to become active members of this Chapter.
