Agricultural workers at increased risk for infection with animal flu viruses
Farmers, veterinarians and meat processors who routinely come into contact with pigs in their jobs have a markedly increased risk of infection with flu viruses that infect pigs. view more (2005-11-29)
Research to show why Polly was more than just pretty
New research at the University of Sheffield is setting out to discover how over some five centuries the European passion for bird-keeping has nurtured important scientific discoveries. Around the turn of the 20th century half the homes in England kept a cage bird, and the European tradition of keeping and observing birds goes back to the earliest... view more... (2002-08-20)
Combating anthrax: Results of study published this month as researchers look for a better vaccine
A new study published this month by a Saint Louis University vaccine researcher scrutinizes what in the future could be an alternative to the presently available anthrax vaccine. view more (2006-08-15)
Painless 'microneedle' patch may take the sting out of shots
Good news for people fearful of needles and squeamish of shots: Scientists at the 238th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society report the design of a painless patch that may someday render hypodermic needles - as well as annual flu shots - a thing of the past. view more (2009-08-19)
NC State study shows bird population estimates are flawed
Most of what we know about bird populations stems from surveys conducted by professional biologists and amateur birdwatchers, but new research from North Carolina State University shows that the data from those surveys may be seriously flawed - and proposes possible means to resolve the problem. view more (2008-11-21)
Bird flu vaccine additive may stretch supply
Researchers have achieved an effective immune response to an avian influenza vaccine with doses as low as one-quarter of the norm when they added a chemical mixture known as MF59. view more (2006-09-26)
Effective government/industry collaboration bolsters flu vaccine supply
When faced with an urgent public health need, the federal government, vaccine manufacturers and university-based researchers can work together quickly and effectively to come up with solutions, as demonstrated in the successful clinical trial of the influenza vaccine Fluarix. view more (2005-12-23)
H5N1 vaccine could be basis for life-saving stockpile
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have announced that a vaccine they developed a few years ago against one antigenic variant of the avian influenza virus H5N1 may protect humans against future variants of the virus. view more (2006-06-19)
Flu vaccine given in microneedle skin patches proves effective in mice
Flu vaccine delivered through skin patches containing microneedles has proven just as effective at preventing influenza in mice as intramuscular, hypodermic flu immunization. view more (2009-04-28)
NIAID DNA vaccine for H5N1 avian influenza enters human trial
The first human trial of a DNA vaccine designed to prevent H5N1 avian influenza infection began on December 21, 2006, when the vaccine was administered to the first volunteer at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD. view more (2007-01-05)
Two centres for infectious diseases established
The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) has awarded a so-called centre subsidy to two research centres which are currently being established. Each centre will receive a total of 1.35 million euros. These funds must be used by the centres over the next five years to carry out multidisciplinary research towards the prevention,... view more... (2004-02-05)
Lessons learned from H1N1 virus pandemic
A comprehensive study has revealed, for the first time, the impact of swine flu on the health of the general public in Australia and New Zealand. view more (2009-10-09)
Survey finds just 40 percent of adults 'absolutely certain' they will get H1N1 vaccine
In a new survey, Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers found that just 40% of adults are "absolutely certain" they will get the H1N1 vaccine for themselves, and 51% of parents are "absolutely certain" that they will get the vaccine for their children. view more (2009-10-05)
Vaccine could cut complications after surgery
A vaccine has been developed, which could prevent inflammation and illness caused by certain bacterial infections following major surgery, scientists heard today (Tuesday 09 April 2002) at the spring meeting of the Society for General Microbiology at the University of Warwick. Dr Elliott Bennett-Guerrero, Chief of Cardiac Anesthesia at Columbia... view more... (2002-04-03)
Researchers identify key step bird flu virus takes to spread readily in humans
Since it first appeared in Hong Kong in 1997, the H5N1 avian flu virus has been slowly evolving into a pathogen better equipped to infect humans. The final form of the virus, biomedical researchers fear, will be a highly pathogenic strain of influenza that spreads easily among humans. view more (2007-10-05)
Most flu shot plans do not address how to vaccinate hard-to-reach populations
Most flu immunization plans in the United States do not address how to vaccinate hard-to-reach populations (HTR)--undocumented immigrants, substance users, the homeless, homebound elderly, and minorities--and this potentially dangerous omission can lead masses of people to become ill during an outbreak of pandemic flu or other contagious disease. view more (2007-08-16)
Human nose too cold for bird flu, says new study
Avian influenza viruses do not thrive in humans because the temperature inside a person's nose is too low, according to research published today in the journal PLoS Pathogens. view more (2009-05-15)
Safer Flu Vaccine in Cold Conditions
Using cold temperatures could help make quicker, cheaper and safer influenza vaccines, according to Dr Alison Whiteley at the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh today, Monday 7 April 2003. view more (2003-04-02)
Children infected with 'RSV' virus three times as likely to wheeze in early childhood
Young children who wheeze are three times as likely to be infected with RSV, a common respiratory virus and only half as likely to have influenza virus as children with a cold but no wheeze, suggests research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. The evidence shows that wheezing affects around one in every two children up to the age of 6 years,... view more... (2002-08-20)
MIT finds key to avian flu in humans
MIT researchers have uncovered a critical difference between flu viruses that infect birds and humans, a discovery that could help scientists monitor the evolution of avian flu strains and aid in the development of vaccines against a deadly flu pandemic. view more (2008-01-07)
