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)
Bird-flu vaccine works at high doses; Focus turns to ways to stretch vaccine supply
An experimental vaccine against bird flu is safe and spurs the immune response considered necessary to protect against the deadly illness, at a dose several times larger than the traditional flu shot and in slightly more than half of people who received the largest dose. view more (2006-03-30)
Expert dispels bird flu paranoia
The risk of human bird flu infection is small in Australia and people can still safely eat chicken and keep pet birds, according to bird medicine specialist Dr Bob Doneley. view more (2005-11-04)
Threat of avian influenza pandemic grows, but people can take precautions
An editorial in the December issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings paints a picture of a world population very susceptible to an avian flu pandemic, but also offers suggestions to physicians that could help answer questions presented by patients who may be feeling anxious about the "bird flu." view more (2005-12-06)
Analysis of Spanish flu cases in 1918-1920 suggests transfusions might help in bird flu pandemic
Transfusions with blood products taken from people who had recovered from Spanish influenza may have reduced risk for death and improved symptoms of hospitalized patients who contracted Spanish influenza complicated by pneumonia. Early treatment was superior to later treatment. view more (2006-08-30)
Study of sugars on cell surface identifies key factor in flu infection
Scientists have identified a key factor that determines the ability of influenza viruses to infect cells of the human upper respiratory tract-a necessary step for sustaining spread between people. view more (2008-01-07)
Alaska avian flu project issues initial surveillance results
So far, so good. Although only a few of the results are in, the University of Alaska Program on the Biology and Epidemiology of Avian Influenza in Alaska reports today that none of the samples taken from migratory waterfowl in the state this summer and screened to date have tested positive for the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu virus being... view more...

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)
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)
UCI scientists reconstruct migration of avian flu virus
UC Irvine researchers have combined genetic and geographic data of the H5N1 avian flu virus to reconstruct its history over the past decade. They found that multiple strains of the virus originated in the Chinese province of Guangdong, and they identified many of the migration routes through which the strains spread regionally and internationally. view more (2007-03-06)
Bird flu leaves the nest -- adapting to a new host
Current research suggests that viral polymerase may provide a new therapeutic target for host-adapted avian influenza. view more (2009-08-27)
AIDS, TB, malaria and bird flu spread unchecked in Burma
Government policies in Burma that restrict public health and humanitarian aid have created an environment where AIDS, drug-resistant tuberculosis, malaria and bird flu (H5N1) are spreading unchecked. view more (2006-03-28)
Scientist warns over pandemic flu vaccine 6-month time lag
New research published today (Monday April 27) from the University of Leicester and University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust warns of a six-month time lag before effective vaccines can be manufactured in the event of a pandemic flu outbreak. view more (2009-04-28)
Discovery opens door for drugs to fight bird flu, other influenza epidemics
Researchers at Rutgers University and The University of Texas at Austin have reported a discovery that could help scientists develop drugs to fight the much-feared bird flu and other virulent strains of influenza. view more (2008-08-26)
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)
Diversity among bird populations found to reduce threat of West Nile virus
A biologist and undergraduate student have discovered that what's good for an area's bird population is also good for people living nearby. view more (2008-06-25)
Swine flu: What does it do to pigs?
The effects of H1N1 swine flu have been investigated in a group of piglets. Scientists writing in BioMed Central's open access Virology Journal studied the pathology of the virus, finding that all infected animals showed flu-like symptoms between one and four days after infection and were shedding virus two days after infection. view more (2009-05-11)
Laughing matters: humour and health
Older men who have a sense of humour and low hostility will experience fewer flu-like symptoms. But the same is not true for older women. This is the finding presented today, Thursday 9 September 2004, by Yori Gidron and colleagues at the University of Southampton at the British Psychological Society's Division of Health Psychology Annual... view more...

St. Jude influenza survey uncovers key differences between bird flu and human flu
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have found key features that distinguish influenza viruses found in birds from those that infect humans. view more (2007-08-21)
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)
