How late in the winter season can major influenzas come on in terms of impacting the developed (or north) world? Odds may have shot up many fold for this now. The disaster in South Asia could fuel an influenza pandemic, according to Dr Michael Olesen, a specialist in infection control at the Abbott-Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota. "The relief effort has brought a number of people from around the globe to a region not affected only by the tsunami but also by avian influenza [bird flu]," he said. "It is possible that the population in the area might have some innate immunity due to repeated exposure to avian influenza. However, with the influx of foreign aid workers there seems to be a potential for it to spread into people who may be much more susceptible." He said that in the circumstances it would be natural for relief workers to shrug off the first signs of illness, only to return home with the virulent infection. He said that it would be prudent for health officials in western countries to monitor returning aid workers and medical staff.
