A recent study with Kansas State University researchers details vaccine development for two new strains of avian influenza that can be transmitted from poultry to humans. The strains have led to the culling of millions...
Research suggests that unfamiliar flu strains cause immune system to release broadly effective antibodies. Rarer forms of flu may be the key to producing a vaccine giving protection against many different strains...
The pandemic potential of avian influenza A/H5N1 should not be overlooked, and the continued development of vaccines against these highly pathogenic viruses is a public health priority. Methods: This open-label...
Avian flu viruses pass from infected birds to humans in close proximity but typically do not transmit easily between humans Chinese scientists have sounded the alarm after a new bird flu virus, H10N8, killed an elderly...
