• Researchers Develop New Way to Assess Pandemic Potential of Influenza Viruses

ATLANTA, July 31 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have developed a new research method that may help identify the types of genetic changes necessary for the avian influenza virus (H5N1) to be more easily transmitted among people. After developing the research method, CDC scientists used it to investigate the ability of a lab-engineered combination of the avian influenza virus and a more common human virus to spread in lab animals. Efficient and sustained human-to-human transmission is the remaining property that H5N1 avian influenza viruses do not yet have that is needed to cause a pandemic.

• Uw Study Shows Promise in Fight Against Flu; Researchers Find Protein That Blocks Influenza Viruses

In an intriguing finding, University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers have unveiled a critical protein that prevents influenza viruses from entering cells, a mechanism that could spark production of anti-viral medications to fight multiple flu strains, including the deadly strain of bird flu that's circulating globally. The authors said the findings provide a basic understanding of how to block replication in both seasonal flu strains and the avian influenza H5N1 virus inside cells, thus halting their ability to spread infection.
