H1N1 Pandemic Virus Does Not Mutate Into 'Superbug' in UMd. Lab Study
A laboratory study by University of Maryland researchers suggests that some of the worst fears about a virulent H1N1 pandemic flu season may not be realized this year, but does demonstrate the heightened communicability of the virus. view more (2009-09-01)
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)

A far wider range of wildlife species could be at risk from bird flu, warns a biologist from the University of East Anglia. view more (2005-08-30)
Vaccine provides 100 percent protection against avian flu virus in animal study
University of Pittsburgh researchers announced they have genetically engineered an avian flu vaccine from the critical components of the deadly H5N1 virus that completely protected mice and chickens from infection. view more (2006-01-27)

Scientists have discovered how dinosaurs used to breathe in what provides clues to how they evolved and how they might have lived. view more (2007-11-07)
Avian flu in perspective
An article by Robert Belshe, M.D., of Saint Louis University School of Medicine in this week's New England Journal of Medicine reviews recent "spectacular achievements of contemporary molecular biology" that hold great importance as the world prepares for a possible flu pandemic. view more (2005-11-28)
Bacteria have their own immune system protecting against outside DNA
Bacteria like Salmonella have a complicated immune system that helps them recognize and isolate foreign DNA trying to invade their cell membrane. view more (2006-06-09)
Minor mutations in avian flu virus increase chances of human infection
The H5N1 avian influenza virus, commonly known as "bird flu," is a highly contagious and deadly disease in poultry. view more (2006-03-20)
Contagious equine flu virus infecting dogs across U.S. is isolated by Cornell researchers
A Cornell University virologist has isolated a highly contagious equine flu virus that is spreading a sometimes-fatal respiratory flu among dogs, and is responsible for a major dog-flu outbreak in New York state. view more (2005-09-29)
'Bird flu' infections in humans prompt new investigation at Saint Louis University
When a new strain of flu infects people, the infection can spread around the world quickly. This is what could potentially happen with some new human flu viruses that come from bird flu viruses. view more (2006-01-17)
St. Jude test of bird flu vaccine proves successful
A commercially developed vaccine has successfully protected mice and ferrets against a highly lethal avian influenza virus, according to the investigator who led the study at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. view more (2006-05-03)
Threat of avian influenza pandemic grows, but people can take precautions
An editorial in the December issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings paints a picture of a world population very susceptible to an avian flu pandemic, but also offers suggestions to physicians that could help answer questions presented by patients who may be feeling anxious about the "bird flu." view more (2005-12-06)
Ancient birds flew on all-fours
The earliest known ancestor of modern-day birds took to the skies by gliding from trees using primitive feathered wings on their arms and legs, according to new research by a University of Calgary paleontologist. view more (2006-09-22)
Evolution in Action: Why Some Viruses Jump Species
Researchers studying strains of a lethal canine virus and a related human virus have determined why the canine virus was able to spread so quickly from cats to dogs, and then from sick dogs to healthy dogs. view more (2006-03-16)
Effective preventive drug against bird flu developed in the mouse
Researchers have developed what could be used as an effective preventive drug against bird flu. view more (2006-10-13)
New influenza vaccine takes weeks to mass produce
Using cell-based methods researchers have developed a commercially viable method for mass producing effective vaccines against potential pandemic influenza strains in weeks instead of the months required for traditional egg-based vaccines. view more (2006-02-17)
Mouse study reveals new clues about virulence of 1918 influenza virus
The first comprehensive analysis of an animal's immune response to the 1918 influenza virus provides new insights into the killer flu, report federally supported scientists in an article appearing online today in the journal Nature. view more (2006-09-29)
Less Virulent Strains of Avian Influenza Can Infect Humans
In findings with implications for pandemic influenza, a new study reports for the first time that a less-virulent strain of avian influenza virus can spread from poultry to humans. view more (2005-09-14)
