Healthcare Headlines
Bird Flu / Avian Flu News From Medical News Today
  • Avian Flu Study Finally And Fully Published
    After endless toing and froing over whether two studies that demonstrated how bird flu, also known as avian H5N1 influenza, or avian flu, should be published, one of them has appeared in the latest issue of the journal Nature in its entirety. The studies show how the bird flu virus could become transmissible from mammal-to-mammal; as humans are mammals, the same would apply to humans...

  • Study Identifies Genetic Regulators Hijacked By Avian And Swine Flu Viruses
    Researchers at the University of British Columbia have identified a number of tiny but powerful "genetic regulators" that are hijacked by avian and swine flu viruses during human infection. The discovery, published in the Journal of Virology, could reveal new targets for broad-spectrum antivirals to combat current - and perhaps future - strains of influenza A viruses...

  • News From The Journals Of The American Society For Microbiology: March 2012
    High Pressure Kills Pathogens, Maintains Green Onions' Taste and Color Green onions cause about five percent of outbreaks of food poisoning from produce, worldwide...

  • How To Balance Risk Of Escape Of New H5N1 Viruses With Benefits Of Research
    In the controversy surrounding the newly developed strains of avian H5N1 flu viruses, scientists and policy makers are struggling with one question in particular: what level of biosafety is best for studying these potentially lethal strains of influenza? In a pair of commentaries, researchers from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York and the University of Michigan arg...

  • Natural Killer T Cells Reduce The Accumulation Of Monocytes And Prevent Lung Injury In Severe Flu
    While some scientists report engineering a super virulent strain of the H5N1 influenza virus, which could potentially wipe out a significant percentage of the human population, another group of researchers from the United Kingdom now reports a discovery that may one day help mitigate the deadly effects of all flu strains...

  • Influenza A Virus In Fruit Bats
    After the discovery of a new influenza A virus in fruit bats in Guatemala, a study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , reveals that the virus represents no current threat to humans, although scientists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the University of the Valley of Guatemala, recommend to research the virus as a potential so...

  • Wide-Scale Flu Prevention Via 'Universal' Vaccines
    An emerging class of long-lasting flu vaccines could do more than just save people the trouble of an annual flu shot. Princeton University-based researchers have found that the "universal" vaccine could for the first time allow for the effective, wide-scale prevention of flu by limiting the influenza virus' ability to spread and mutate...

  • Opinion: H5N1 Flu Is Just As Dangerous As Feared, Now Requires Action
    The debate about the potential severity of an outbreak of airborne H5N1 influenza in humans needs to move on from speculation and focus instead on how we can safely continue H5N1 research and share the results among researchers, according to a commentary published in mBio®, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology....

  • Mutated H5N1 Virus Research To Remain Under Wraps For Now, Says WHO
    The temporary moratorium on research on lab-modified bird flu (H5N1) viruses is to be extended, and the publication of the studies' "entire manuscript" is to be delayed...

  • Key Peptides Identified That Could Lead To A Universal Vaccine For Influenza
    Researchers at the University of Southampton, University of Oxford and Retroscreeen Virology Ltd have discovered a series of peptides, found on the internal structures of influenza viruses that could lead to the development of a universal vaccine for influenza, one that gives people immunity against all strains of the disease, including seasonal, avian, and swine flu...
