H10N3 Bird Flu Strain<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

\n
    \n
  • It appears to be <\/span><\/span><\/span>rare in birds<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> and does not <\/span><\/span><\/span>cause severe disease<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> according to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • There was no indication of <\/span><\/span><\/span>human-to-human transmission<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> yet.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Risks<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n
        \n
      • The risk of further infection with H10N3 is currently believed to be <\/span><\/span><\/span>very low, with experts <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>describing the case as \u201c<\/span><\/span><\/span>sporadic\u201d.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      • Such cases occur <\/span><\/span><\/span>occasionally in China<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> which has huge populations of both farmed and <\/span><\/span><\/span>wild birds of many species<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Avian influenza viruses<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • It is a highly <\/span><\/span><\/span>infectious and severe<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> respiratory disease in birds caused by the <\/span><\/span><\/span>H5N1 influenza virus<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>, Type A strain of influenza virus.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
        • In total, 16 types of bird flu are there, of which <\/span><\/span><\/span>H5N1 <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>strain is considered the <\/span><\/span><\/span>deadliest.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
        • H5N1 consists of two types of proteins:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n
            \n
          • H5 stands for the fifth of several known types of the protein hemagglutinin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
          • N1 stands for the first of several known types of the protein neuraminidase.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              \n
            • Spread & Transmission:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>Infected birds shed avian flu in their saliva, mucus, and poop, and humans can get infected when enough of the virus gets in the eyes, nose, or mouth, or is inhaled from infected droplets or dust.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Sinovac COVID-19 Vaccine<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

\n
    \n
  • The World Health Organisation (WHO)\u00a0 validated the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Sinovac-CoronaVac<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> COVID-19 vaccine for <\/span><\/span><\/span>emergency use, giving countries<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>, funders, procuring agencies and communities the assurance that it meets<\/span><\/span><\/span> international standards<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> for safety, efficacy and manufacturing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • The vaccine is produced by the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Beijing(China)-based pharmaceutical company Sinovac.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • It is an<\/span><\/span><\/span> inactivated vaccine.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n
      \n
    • It works by using killed viral particles to expose the body’s immune system to the virus without risking a serious disease response.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Its easy storage <\/span><\/span><\/span>requirements make it very manageable<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> and particularly suitable for l<\/span><\/span><\/span>ow-resource settings<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    • In the case of the Sinovac-CoronaVac vaccine, the WHO assessment included <\/span><\/span><\/span>on-site inspections of the production facility.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Significance\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • It prevented<\/span><\/span><\/span> symptomatic disease<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> in 51% of those vaccinated and prevented severe symptoms and hospitalisation in 100% of samples.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      • The approval opens the <\/span><\/span><\/span>door for the jab to be used in the Covax programme<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>, which aims to ensure fair access to vaccines.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Emergency Use Listing (EUL)<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • WHO\u2019s <\/span><\/span><\/span>Emergency Use Listing (EUL)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> is a prerequisite for COVAX Facility vaccine supply and <\/span><\/span><\/span>international procurement<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
        • \u00a0It also allows <\/span><\/span><\/span>countries to expedite<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> their own regulatory approval to import and administer COVID-19 vaccines.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          • The EUL assesses the <\/span><\/span><\/span>quality, safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>as well as risk management plans and programmatic suitability, such as cold chain requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
          • The assessment is performed by the product <\/span><\/span><\/span>evaluation group<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>, composed by <\/span><\/span><\/span>regulatory experts<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> from around the world and a Technical Advisory Group (TAG), in charge of performing the risk-benefit assessment for an independen<\/span><\/span><\/span>t recommendation<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> on whether a vaccine can be listed for emergency use and, if so, under which conditions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              \n

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Technology<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

\n
    \n
  • LEO satellites have been<\/span><\/span><\/span> orbiting the planet <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>since the 1990s, providing <\/span><\/span><\/span>companies and individuals <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>with various <\/span><\/span><\/span>communication services<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • They are positioned around <\/span><\/span><\/span>500km-2000km from earth<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>, compared to <\/span><\/span><\/span>stationary orbit satellites <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>which are approximately<\/span><\/span><\/span> 36,000km away.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • As LEO satellites orbit closer to the earth, they are able to provide <\/span><\/span><\/span>stronger signals and faster speeds<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> than <\/span><\/span><\/span>traditional fixed-satellite systems<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Low Earth orbit (LEO)<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • A<\/span><\/span><\/span> low Earth orbit (LEO)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> is an orbit that is <\/span><\/span><\/span>relatively close to Earth\u2019s surface<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    • \u00a0It is normally at an <\/span><\/span><\/span>altitude of less<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> than <\/span><\/span><\/span>1000 km<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> but could be as low as 160 km above Earth \u2013 which is low compared to other orbits, but still very <\/span><\/span><\/span>far above Earth\u2019s surface.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • By comparison, <\/span><\/span><\/span>most commercial <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>aeroplanes <\/span><\/span><\/span>do not fly at altitudes<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> much greater than approximately 14 km, so even the lowest LEO is more than <\/span><\/span><\/span>ten times higher than that.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • Unlike satellites in GEO that must always orbit along Earth\u2019s equator,<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n
            \n
          • LEO satellites do not always have to follow a particular path around Earth in the same way \u2013 their plane can be tilted.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
          • This means there are more available routes for <\/span><\/span><\/span>satellites in LEO<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>, which is one of the reasons why LEO is a very <\/span><\/span><\/span>commonly used orbit.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
          • LEO\u2019s close proximity to Earth makes it useful for several reasons.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n
              \n
            • It is the orbit most commonly used for <\/span><\/span><\/span>satellite imaging<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>, as being near the surface allows it to take images of higher resolution.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
            • \u00a0It is also the orbit used for the <\/span><\/span><\/span>International Space Station (ISS<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>), as it is easier for astronauts to travel to and from it at a shorter distance.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
