St. Jude conducts first large-scale bird flu genome study
Unique resources at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital let researchers generate a "gold mine" of data to track evolution of bird flu virus genes and understand how they cooperate to cause disease. View More (2006-01-27)
Bird flu mutation study offers vaccine clue
Scientists have described small genetic changes that enable the H5N1 bird flu virus to replicate more easily in the noses of mammals. View More (2013-04-09)
Better by design: Engineering flu vaccines
A new computerized method of testing could help world health officials better identify flu vaccines that are effective against multiple strains of the disease. Rice University scientists who created the method say tests of data from bird flu and seasonal flu outbreaks suggest their method can better gauge the efficacy of proposed vaccines than can tests used today.

Bird flu study highlights need to vaccinate flocks effectively
Incomplete vaccination of poultry flocks could make the spread of deadly strains of avian flu such as H5N1 worse, scientists at the Universities of Edinburgh and Warwick have found. View More (2006-08-21)
'Bird flu' infections in humans prompt new investigation at Saint Louis University
When a new strain of flu infects people, the infection can spread around the world quickly. This is what could potentially happen with some new human flu viruses that come from bird flu viruses. View More (2006-01-17)
Structure of influenza B virus protein gives clues to next pandemic
Determining the structure of a protein called hemagglutinin on the surface of influenza B is giving researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University in Houston clues as to what kinds of mutations could spark the next flu pandemic. View More (2007-10-16)
Lessons from Turkey's bird flu outbreak
Rapid responses by Turkey's health authorities and key health personnel were critical in bringing the 2006 bird flu outbreak under control. View More (2007-11-15)
Swine Flu vaccination: voluntary system works
Social interaction between neighbours, work colleagues and other communities and social groups makes voluntary vaccination programs for epidemics such as Swine Flu, SARS or Bird Flu a surprisingly effective method of disease control. View More (2010-02-11)

Queen's scientists are involved in two international projects aimed to protect Northern Ireland's agri-food industry from Bird Flu and African Swine Fever, a disease which kills pigs. View More (2008-09-17)
Nosespray vaccine using aloe vera has exciting potential, researcher says
Researchers at Texas A&M University are participating in developing a medicine that is worth sneezing about: a treatment for influenza that forms a jelly when sprayed into the nose. View More (2007-09-26)
Newly described 'dragon' protein could be key to bird flu cure
Scientists and researchers have taken a big step closer to a cure for the most common strain of avian influenza, or "bird flu," the potential pandemic that has claimed more than 200 lives and infected nearly 400 people in 14 countries since it was identified in 2003. View More (2008-07-16)
Volunteers sought for avian flu vaccine study
Vanderbilt University Medical Center is enrolling volunteers in a study to test a new vaccine that targets avian flu, the first such vaccine against the virus. View More (2005-10-31)
St. Jude test of bird flu vaccine proves successful
A commercially developed vaccine has successfully protected mice and ferrets against a highly lethal avian influenza virus, according to the investigator who led the study at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. View More (2006-05-03)
Scientists aim to thwart use of flu as bioweapon
This week in Rochester, scientists are discussing ways to better understand the flu and also how to prevent the possibility that terrorists could somehow modify flu as a bioweapon to make it even more lethal than it is already. View More (2006-06-22)
Horse antibodies against the bird flu virus H5N1 are effective as treatment in mice
Antibodies against the bird flu virus H5N1, derived from horses, prevent mice infected with H5N1 from dying from the virus. View More (2006-03-28)
