West Nile virus antibodies sought in birds in England
Scientists at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology at Oxford are investigating live birds to see whether or not West Nile virus is present and being actively transmitted between resident and migratory birds. No infectious virus has as yet been detected. The birds sampled were healthy, implying that if present the virus is not virulent and may... view more... (2002-10-31)
Using a small stockpile of a secondary antiviral drug in a flu pandemic
In a global influenza pandemic, small stockpiles of a secondary flu medication - if used early in local outbreaks - could extend the effectiveness of primary drug stockpiles, according to research made available today ahead of publication in PLoS Medicine. view more (2009-05-01)
Masks, hand washing, prevent spread of flu-like symptoms by up to 50 percent

Who should receive vaccines and antiviral drugs in the event of a flu pandemic?
Since flu vaccine and antiviral drugs are in scarce supply, the WHO recommends that all nations determine in advance which groups of people will be the first to receive these treatments in the event of a flu pandemic. view more (2006-10-17)
Scientists develop mathematical model to predict the immune response to influenza
Researchers at the University of Rochester have developed a mathematical model to predict immune responses to infection with influenza A viruses, including novel viruses such as the emergent 2009 influenza A (H1N1). view more (2009-05-14)
Researchers create interactive map with Google technology to track avian flu spread
An interactive "supermap" that portrays the mutations and spread of the avian flu around the globe over time should help researchers and policy makers better understand the virus and anticipate further outbreaks, according to a new study involving University of Colorado at Boulder and Ohio State University researchers. view more (2007-05-01)

Scientific community urges officials and public to use latest evidence as guide in H1N1 prevention and protection procedures
As flu season draws nearer along with the potential for resurgence in H1N1, leading infectious diseases doctors, hospital epidemiologists, and infection preventionists urge officials to base recommendations for the public and healthcare workers on scientific knowledge and frontline experience gained from the outbreak this summer. view more (2009-08-12)
Inexpensive test detects H5N1 infections quickly and accurately
Scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have developed an inexpensive "gene chip" test based on a single influenza virus gene that could allow scientists to quickly identify flu viruses, including avian influenza H5N1. view more (2006-11-14)
Your genes may hold key to how sick you get from the flu
With lessons from the 1918 flu pandemic in the rearview mirror and the avian flu a looming obstacle in the road ahead, researchers from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine are trying to understand why a flu virus kills some people but not others. view more (2006-11-03)
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)

Brothers in arms
A joint venture from researchers from the Helmholtz-Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig, the Otto-von-Guericke-University in Magdeburg, and the Karolinska institute in Sweden have taken an in-depth look at the connection between flu infection and pneumonia. Their results, recently released in the scientific journal "PLoS... view more... (2009-03-17)
Penn scientists find a protein that inhibits Ebola from reaching out to infect neighboring cells
Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have identified a protein, ISG15, that inhibits the Ebola virus from budding, the process by which viruses escape from cells and spread to infect neighboring cells. view more (2008-03-04)
Flu news: Study in 8,475 young children points to a more effective influenza vaccine
