Seasonal influenza: Not enough health care workers have themselves vaccinated
Less than one third of healthcare workers have themselves vaccinated against classic influenza. view more (2009-09-21)
Scientists learn why the flu may turn deadly
As the swine flu continues its global spread, researchers from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have discovered important clues about why influenza is more severe in some people than it is in others. view more (2009-05-05)
Reconstructed 1918 influenza virus induces immune response that fails to protect
An analysis of mice infected with the reconstructed 1918 influenza virus has revealed that although the infection triggered a very strong immune system response, the response failed to protect the animals from severe lung disease and death. view more (2006-09-28)
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)
Early results from clinical trials of 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccines in healthy adults
We are encouraged by reports that are now emerging from various clinical trials of 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccines, conducted by various vaccine manufacturers. view more (2009-09-14)
Avian flu becoming more resistant to antiviral drugs, says University of Colorado study
A new University of Colorado at Boulder study shows the resistance of the avian flu virus to a major class of antiviral drugs is increasing through positive evolutionary selection, with researchers documenting the trend in more than 30 percent of the samples tested. view more (2009-01-08)
Molecular evolution of influenza A viruses circulated in Fujian Province, China
Fujian Center for Disease Control & Prevention, China, reported the molecular evolution of influenza A (H3N2) viruses in Fujian Province, south of China during the period 1996 - 2004 and demonstrated some key codons responsible for antigenic drift. The study is reported in Issue 51 (April, 2008) of the Science in China Series C: Life Science... view more... (2008-04-01)
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)
New vaccine may give long-term defense against deadly bird flu and its variant forms
A new vaccine under development may provide protection against highly pathogenic bird flu and its evolving forms, according to researchers at Purdue University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who discovered the new preventative drug and have tested it in mice. view more (2008-04-18)
Protein 'tubules' free avian flu virus from immune recognition
A protein found in the virulent avian influenza virus strain called H5N1 forms tiny tubules in which it "hides" the pieces of double-stranded RNA formed during viral infection, which otherwise would prompt an antiviral immune response from infected cells, said Baylor College of Medicine researchers in an online report in the journal... view more...

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)
Wild birds help to create human flu vaccine
Avian influenza virus samples collected from wild birds in Mongolia by field veterinarians from the New York City-based Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) have been selected by the World Health Organization to be part of a new human pandemic influenza vaccine currently in development. view more (2005-11-04)
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)
Arthritis drug might prove effective in fighting the flu, study suggests
Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have found that an approved drug for treating rheumatoid arthritis reduces severe illness and death in mice exposed to the Influenza A virus. view more (2009-05-27)
A new approach to study flu drug resistance
Researchers have created a new approach for studying resistance to Neuraminidase Inhibitors (NI) in influenza. view more (2007-12-07)
Community MRSA is re-emergence of 1950s pandemic, study suggests
An early type of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that caused a global epidemic of infections in the 1950s has re-emerged as one of the community-acquired MRSA 'superbugs', according to a study published in this weeks issue of The Lancet. view more (2005-03-31)
LIAI completes world's most comprehensive analysis on influenza virus data
Researchers from the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI) announced today the results of a first of its kind study analyzing all published data worldwide on influenza A virus antibody and T cell epitopes. view more (2007-01-02)
Unmasked and vulnerable
Donning a face mask is an easy way to boost protection from severe respiratory illnesses such as influenza and SARS, new research from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has found, but convincing a reluctant public and health workers is proving a struggle. view more (2009-01-26)
The challenges of avian influenza virus: Mechanism, epidemiology and control
The latest special issue of Science in China Series C: Life Sciences focuses on the recent progress in the H5N1-related research field. view more (2009-05-22)
Drug resistant avian influenza viruses more common in Southeast Asia than North America
Resistance to the antiviral drug amantadine is spreading more rapidly among avian influenza viruses of H5N1 subtype in Southeast Asia than in North America, according to the study done by investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. view more (2005-09-12)
