Study uncovers cause of flu epidemics
The exchange of genetic material between two closely related strains of the influenza A virus may have caused the 1947 and 1951 human flu epidemics, according to biologists. view more (2008-03-05)
In a crisis, creating DNA vaccine could help save lives, slow spread of 'bird flu'
Researchers scrambling to combat a virulent form of bird flu that could mutate into a form easily spread among humans should consider developing vaccines based on DNA, according to British biochemical engineers. view more (2005-10-20)
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...

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)
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)
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)
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)
High dose of flu vaccine boosts immune response in elderly
Giving people age 65 and older a dose four times larger than the standard flu vaccine boosts the amount of antibodies in their blood to levels considered protective against the flu, more so than the standard flu vaccine does. view more (2008-10-27)
Penn animal study identifies new DNA weapon against avian flu
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have identified a potential new way to vaccinate against avian flu. view more (2008-07-02)
Flu vaccine given to women during pregnancy keeps infants out of the hospital
Infants born to women who received influenza vaccine during pregnancy were hospitalized at a lower rate than infants born to unvaccinated mothers. view more (2009-11-03)
Flu shots not to be sneezed at
Two in five at-risk American adults who would benefit from vaccination against seasonal flu are missing out on the protective shots because they believe they do not need them and are not inclined to be vaccinated. view more (2009-10-23)
Pregnant women need flu shots
Pregnant women should be sure to get all their flu shots as soon as the vaccines become available this year to protect them against both the seasonal flu and the H1N1 (swine) flu, according to eight leading national maternal and infant health organizations. view more (2009-09-24)
A 2002 disease threat offers lessons for avian flu preparedness
As public health experts discuss how best to prevent an avian flu epidemic in the United States, La Follette School of Public Affairs assistant professor Donald P. Moynihan has a few suggestions. view more (2005-12-07)
Promising preclinical results with live attenuated H5N1 vaccines
Several approaches are in progress to develop vaccines against the avian flu variety of the influenza virus. Kanta Subbarao (National Institutes of Health) and colleagues are working on live attenuated vaccines, which have the potential to elicit a strong, broad, and lasting immune response. view more (2006-09-12)
Initial Results Show Pregnant Women Mount Strong Immune Response To One Dose of 2009 H1N1 Flu Vaccine
Healthy pregnant women mount a robust immune response following just one dose of 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine, according to initial results from an ongoing clinical trial sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health. view more (2009-11-03)
Virginia Tech virologist developing more potent vaccine technology
Virginia Tech virologist Chris Roberts' goal is to develop a platform for a flu vaccine that allows rapid modifications to meet new strains of flu. view more (2009-05-05)
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)
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)
Flu not the only germ threat this time of year
The flu hasn't even hit hard yet this year, but it seems like everyone's getting sick. What's the deal? view more (2006-01-13)
