Preventing a pandemic: Study suggests strategies for containing a flu outbreak
Though quick to caution about the many things that could go wrong, researchers say that it may be possible to contain a Southeast Asian outbreak of avian influenza in humans, buying precious time for the production of a vaccine. view more (2005-08-04)
Flu virus foiled again
Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, supported in part by the National Institutes of Health, have identified a common Achilles' heel in a wide range of seasonal and pandemic influenza A viruses. view more (2009-02-27)
Scientists identify lab-made proteins that neutralize multiple strains of seasonal and pandemic flu
Scientists have identified a small family of lab-made proteins that neutralize a broad range of influenza A viruses, including the H5N1 avian virus, the 1918 pandemic influenza virus and seasonal H1N1 flu viruses. view more (2009-02-23)
Drug resistant avian influenza viruses more common in Southeast Asia than North America
Resistance to the antiviral drug amantadine is spreading more rapidly among avian influenza viruses of H5N1 subtype in Southeast Asia than in North America, according to the study done by investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. view more (2005-09-12)
Pregnancy and the flu: A link to schizophrenia
When mothers become infected with influenza during their pregnancy, it may increase the risk for schizophrenia in their offspring. view more (2009-06-10)
Prediction markets accurately forecast influenza activity
Influenza experts have borrowed a page from economists, creating a futures market for influenza activity that predicted outbreaks two to four weeks in advance. The influenza prediction market is presented in the Jan. 15 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases. view more (2006-12-26)
Swine flu monitoring needed for farm workers, study says
A University of Alberta study recommends that workers on pig farms be monitored as part of influenza pandemic preparedness, after a child on a communal farm in Canada was diagnosed with swine flu in 2006. view more (2008-02-12)
Milwaukee swine flu testing results published
Researchers at The Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee published the first initial paper describing the Milwaukee prevalence of the largest outbreak of novel swine origin influenza virus (S-OIV) in America. view more (2009-06-16)
NIH scientists target future pandemic strains of H5N1 avian influenza
Preparing vaccines and therapeutics that target a future mutant strain of H5N1 influenza virus sounds like science fiction, but it may be possible, according to a team of scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and a collaborator at Emory University... view more...

The challenges of avian influenza virus: Mechanism, epidemiology and control
The latest special issue of Science in China Series C: Life Sciences focuses on the recent progress in the H5N1-related research field. view more (2009-05-22)
Study questions impact of NHS Direct on GP visits
The introduction of NHS Direct had no impact on the number of general practice consultations during the winter of 1999-2000, finds a study in this week’s BMJ, despite speculation that there was an influenza epidemic but that people were telephoning NHS Direct instead of visiting their general practitioner. view more (2002-12-11)
Flu news: Study in 8,475 young children points to a more effective influenza vaccine
An intranasal influenza vaccine proved to be more effective than the injectable influenza vaccine in children older than 6 months and younger than 5 years of age. view more (2006-05-02)
Experts predict Tamiflu could halve the pandemic influenza death toll versus no intervention
Treatment with the oral antiviral Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and prophylaxis for people exposed to infected patients could be one of the most cost-effective strategies for reducing illness and death during an influenza pandemic. view more (2007-06-25)
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)
Molecular Anatomy of Influenza Virus Detailed
Scientists at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), part of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., and colleagues at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville have succeeded in imaging, in unprecedented detail, the virus that causes influenza. view more (2007-01-02)
While Concerned, Most Americans Do Not Expect Widespread Human Cases of Avian Flu in U.S. in the Next Year
The latest national poll conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) Project on the Public and Biological Security finds that at the moment, the majority of the American public is concerned about the threat of avian flu, but only a small proportion is very concerned. view more (2006-02-24)
The host makes all the difference
"Where there are many scientific works dealing solely with the flu virus, we have investigated how the host reacts to an infection," says Klaus Schughart, head of the Experimental Mouse Genetics research group. view more (2009-03-27)
New accurate diagnostic test for swine H1N1 influenza using RT-PCR technology
A new, easy-to-perform method for detecting both seasonal influenza A virus and the emerging H1N1 swine-derived influenza A virus in human clinical samples offers a fast, sensitive, and cost-effective diagnostic test that runs on standard laboratory equipment. view more (2009-06-10)
