New research helps explain why bird flu has not caused a pandemic
Bird flu viruses would have to make at least two simultaneous genetic mutations before they could be transmitted readily from human to human, according to research published today in PLoS ONE. view more (2009-11-19)
Booster vaccination may help with possible future avian influenza pandemic
New evidence suggests that a booster vaccination against H5N1 avian influenza given years after initial vaccination with a different strain may prove useful in controlling a potential future pandemic. The study is published in the August 1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online. view more (2008-07-17)
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)

Rainfall and river networks prove accurate predictors of fish biodiversity
Princeton researchers have invented a method for turning simple data about rainfall and river networks into accurate assessments of fish biodiversity, allowing better prediction of the effects of climate change and the ecological impact of man-made structures like dams. view more (2008-05-08)
New research finds people and pigeons see eye to eye
Pigeons and humans use similar visual cues to identify objects, a finding that could have promising implications in the development of novel technologies, according to new research conducted by a University of New Hampshire professor. view more (2007-02-21)
Shift in feeding behavior of mosquitoes sheds light on West Nile virus outbreaks
Since its introduction to the United States in 1999, West Nile virus has become the major vector-borne disease in the U.S., with 770 reported deaths, 20,000 reported illnesses, and perhaps around a million people infected. view more (2006-02-28)
Evolution in Action: Why Some Viruses Jump Species
Researchers studying strains of a lethal canine virus and a related human virus have determined why the canine virus was able to spread so quickly from cats to dogs, and then from sick dogs to healthy dogs. view more (2006-03-16)
What Happened on Easter Island? @ the London `Catastrophes` conference
Easter Island is exceptionally isolated in the South Pacific. When Europeans first visited the island in 1722 AD, they found a population of about 4000 Polynesians scratching a living among what appeared to be the ruins of a collapsed civilization. Stone figures weighing up to 80 tonnes littered the landscape and there were also numerous... view more... (2002-08-17)

Microbial stowaways: Are ships spreading disease?
Ships are inadvertently carrying trillions of stowaways in the water held in their ballast tanks. When the water is pumped out, invasive species could be released into new environments. Disease-causing microbes could also be released, posing a risk to public health, according to an article in the May issue of Microbiology Today. view more (2008-05-29)
