Neurological disease raises risk of complications from flu
As another flu season approaches, patients with neurological and neuromuscular disease are especially vulnerable to respiratory failure caused by influenza. view more (2005-11-02)
Producing flu vaccines will be faster and cheaper, thanks to MSU technology
Technology from Michigan State animal science labs looks to produce new human flu vaccines quicker and cheaper than current methods. view more (2006-07-12)
Influenza: Insights into cell specificity of human vs. avian viruses
Researchers have identified which sites and cell types within the respiratory tract are targeted by human versus avian influenza viruses, providing valuable insights into the pathogenesis of these divergent diseases. view more (2007-10-10)
Study: Quick responses to influenza outbreaks reduces illness and death
Influenza outbreaks were shorter and resulted in fewer cases and fewer deaths at long-term care facilities that started residents on preventive antiviral medications within five days of the first case, compared to those that started later. view more (2008-06-11)
Smallpox Outbreak: How Long Would It Take for Vaccines To Protect People? Would it Work?
In the event of a smallpox outbreak in the United States, how long would it take for a vaccine to start protecting Americans by stimulating an immune response? A new national study led by Saint Louis University School of Medicine will attempt to answer this question. view more (2007-05-01)
Surgical masks and N95 respirators provide similar protection against influenza
A McMaster University study has found that surgical masks appear to be as good as N95 respirators in protecting health-care workers against influenza. view more (2009-10-02)
Rice researchers seek better vaccine procedure
As manufacturers work furiously to make a vaccine to protect against 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus, a Rice University bioengineer is trying to improve the process for future flu seasons. The goal is to shorten the time it takes to identify targeted flu strains and manufacture the vaccines for them. view more (2009-09-09)

Perth researchers have begun a trial to test the effectiveness of a new vaccine to protect against the potentially deadly bird flu. view more (2006-06-29)
Tamiflu survives sewage treatment
Swedish researchers have discovered that oseltamivir (Tamiflu); an antiviral drug used to prevent and mitigate influenza infections is not removed or degraded during normal sewage treatment. view more (2007-10-03)
H5N1 threat puts human flu back in spotlight
The emergence of the avian influenza virus H5N1 that is currently devastating chicken flocks in many countries and threatening to unleash a worldwide epidemic among humans has triggered a renewed interest among scientists in studying influenza A viruses. view more (2006-05-05)
Studies in animals suggest 2009 H1N1 virus may have biological advantage over seasonal influenza
Preliminary findings in ferrets suggest that the novel 2009 H1N1 influenza virus may outcompete human seasonal influenza viruses, researchers say. view more (2009-09-01)
How HIV vaccine might have increased odds of infection
In September 2007, a phase II HIV-1 vaccine trial was abruptly halted when researchers found that the vaccine may have promoted, rather than prevented, HIV infection. view more (2008-11-03)
An HIV Vaccine is within reach
An effective, affordable, and accessible HIV vaccine is 7-10 years away, according to scientists at the Medical Research Council of South Africa, in this week's BMJ. However, its success depends on a complex interplay of politics, science, and public-private partnerships. view more (2002-01-23)
Influenza spreads readily in winter conditions
Low temperatures and relative humidities have been linked to the rapid spread of influenza in a new study by researchers, led by Dr. Peter Palese, from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. The study, published in PLoS Pathogens, supports the theory of the seasonal flu. view more (2007-10-19)
Needle-free, inhalant powder measles vaccine could save thousands of lives
The first dry powder inhalable vaccine for measles is moving toward clinical trials next year in India, where the disease still sickens millions of infants and children and kills almost 200,000 annually, according to a report presented here today at the 238th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS). view more (2009-08-17)
Protecting HIV patients from Hepatitis B virus
Since the transmission of HIV and Hepatitis B virus (HBV) are so similar, individuals infected with one of these viruses are at a significantly increased risk for contracting the other. view more (2007-07-18)
Poll: Many parents, high-priority adults who tried to get H1N1 vaccine unable to get it
A new national poll from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers found that a majority of adults who tried to get the H1N1 vaccine for themselves or their children have been unable to do so. view more (2009-11-09)
Q-Fever: A global health risk
The decision to stop production of the vaccine for Q-Fever will leave Australia and the international community vulnerable to the health risks of Q-Fever infection, according to one of the country's leading researchers. view more (2005-12-01)
New vaccine protects more effectively against tuberculosis
Globally, tuberculosis remains the number one killer in adults. Moreover, multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis strains are on the rise which cannot be treated by first-line drugs. view more (2005-08-29)
New accurate diagnostic test for swine H1N1 influenza using RT-PCR technology
A new, easy-to-perform method for detecting both seasonal influenza A virus and the emerging H1N1 swine-derived influenza A virus in human clinical samples offers a fast, sensitive, and cost-effective diagnostic test that runs on standard laboratory equipment. view more (2009-06-10)
