Quick diagnosis of flu strains possible with new microchip test (press release)
Scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have developed a microchip-based test that may allow more labs to diagnose influenza infections and learn more about the viruses causing illness. The FluChip successfully distinguished among...
Analysis of Spanish flu cases in 1918-1920 suggests transfusions might help in bird flu pandemic (press release)
Transfusions with blood products taken from people who had recovered from Spanish influenza may have reduced risk for death and improved symptoms of hospitalized patients who contracted Spanish influenza complicated by pneumonia. Early treatment was superior to later treatment. Researchers studied...
Lessons from SARS May Help Prepare for Bird Flu (press release)

Mainland China experienced three outbreaks of SARS between November 2002 and May 2004. The first outbreak resulted in a pandemic and caused huge financial loss...
Bird flu study highlights need to vaccinate flocks effectively (press release)

H5N1 Vaccine Could Be Basis For Life-saving Stockpile (press release)
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have announced that a vaccine they developed a few years ago against one antigenic variant of the avian influenza virus H5N1 may protect humans against future variants of the virus. Vaccines based on this model might therefore be suitable for stockpiling...
Modeling Shows Containment Could Delay, Not Prevent, Pandemic Flu (press release)
New research from scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston and the University of Washington in Seattle suggests that containment can buy time to prepare, but containment alone is not enough to stop a flu pandemic from occurring. Through mathematical modeling, the researchers show...
Using Cell Phones to Teach Pandemic Flu Preparedness (press release)
