Low-pathogenic forms of bird flu do cause illness among birds
Migratory swans carrying a mild form of avian influenza depart from The Netherlands more than a month after their healthy counterparts do. view more (2007-01-31)
NIAID DNA vaccine for H5N1 avian influenza enters human trial
The first human trial of a DNA vaccine designed to prevent H5N1 avian influenza infection began on December 21, 2006, when the vaccine was administered to the first volunteer at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD. view more (2007-01-05)
Avian flu virus unlikely to spread through wastewater and drinking water treatment systems, Cornell researchers find
A close relative of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H5N1) can be eliminated by waste and drinking water treatments, including chlorination, ultraviolet (UV) radiation and bacterial digesters. The virus is harmless to humans but provides a study case of the pathways by which the influenza could spread to human populations. view more (2007-01-04)
LIAI completes world's most comprehensive analysis on influenza virus data
Researchers from the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI) announced today the results of a first of its kind study analyzing all published data worldwide on influenza A virus antibody and T cell epitopes. view more (2007-01-02)
New details on how the immune system recognizes influenza
Drawing upon a massive database established with funds from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), scientists have completed the most comprehensive analysis to date of published influenza A virus epitopes-the critical sites on the virus that are recognized by the immune... view more...

Professors to develop hand-held pathogen testing device
Testing for deadly food, air and water pathogens may get a lot easier and cheaper thanks to the work of a Michigan State University researcher and his team. view more (2006-12-19)
New research predicts US entry of H5N1 avian influenza
Scientists at the Consortium for Conservation Medicine (CCM), the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and the Smithsonian Institution's National Zoo report that H5N1 avian influenza is most likely to be introduced to countries in the Western Hemisphere through infected poultry trade. view more (2006-12-05)
Preparing for an influenza pandemic: A triage protocol in the face of limited resources
The recent outbreaks of avian influenza (H5N1) around the world have placed a renewed emphasis on preparing for an influenza pandemic in humans. view more (2006-11-21)
UNH Research Uses Satellite Observation to Track Avian Flu
An international, interdisciplinary team of researchers led by professor Xiangming Xiao of the University of New Hampshire is taking a novel scientific approach in an attempt to understand the ecology of the avian influenza, develop better methods of predicting its spread, and provide an accurate early warning system. view more (2006-11-21)
Scientists find mutations that let bird flu adapt to humans
By comparing influenza viruses found in birds with those of the avian virus that have also infected human hosts, researchers have identified key genetic changes required for pandemic strains of bird flu. view more (2006-11-16)
Inexpensive test detects H5N1 infections quickly and accurately
Scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have developed an inexpensive "gene chip" test based on a single influenza virus gene that could allow scientists to quickly identify flu viruses, including avian influenza H5N1. view more (2006-11-14)
Information on bird flu cases poorly recorded, scientists say
The highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza has been detected in at least 55 countries in Asia, Europe, and Africa. view more (2006-11-01)
UGA study identifies North American wild bird species that could transmit bird flu
University of Georgia researchers have found that the common wood duck and laughing gull are very susceptible to highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza viruses and have the potential to transmit them. view more (2006-10-24)
Experimental vaccine protects mice against deadly 1918 flu virus
Federal scientists have developed a vaccine that protects mice against the killer 1918 influenza virus. view more (2006-10-18)
Effective preventive drug against bird flu developed in the mouse
Researchers have developed what could be used as an effective preventive drug against bird flu. view more (2006-10-13)
Burmese junta responding too slowly on HIV, TB, malaria and avian flu
Burma's authoritarian military regime, the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), is impeding the health community's efforts to control infectious disease threats in Burma, according to an investigation published in PLoS Medicine. view more (2006-10-10)
Mouse study reveals new clues about virulence of 1918 influenza virus
The first comprehensive analysis of an animal's immune response to the 1918 influenza virus provides new insights into the killer flu, report federally supported scientists in an article appearing online today in the journal Nature. view more (2006-09-29)
Reconstructed 1918 influenza virus induces immune response that fails to protect
An analysis of mice infected with the reconstructed 1918 influenza virus has revealed that although the infection triggered a very strong immune system response, the response failed to protect the animals from severe lung disease and death. view more (2006-09-28)
Bird flu vaccine additive may stretch supply
Researchers have achieved an effective immune response to an avian influenza vaccine with doses as low as one-quarter of the norm when they added a chemical mixture known as MF59. view more (2006-09-26)
Ancient birds flew on all-fours
The earliest known ancestor of modern-day birds took to the skies by gliding from trees using primitive feathered wings on their arms and legs, according to new research by a University of Calgary paleontologist. view more (2006-09-22)
