The Badger Herald: News: Superior avian flu treatment on its way
[The Badger Herald: News] 26 in the Public Library of Science, a team of researchers led by UW virologist Yoshihiro Kawaoka discovered that a new compound called CS-8958 has improved the survival rate of mice with avian flu. This was compared to other drugs on the market used to treat H5N1, the strain of avian flu that affects humans.

The Difference between Ignorance and Apathy: Avian Flu Concerns
[The Difference between Ignorance and Apathy] The avian flu on the other hand is just the opposite of the swine flu. The avian flu is very virulent when it infects humans, but the avian flu was not as widespread as the swine flu.

A TIME'S MEMORY: Avian influenza virus isolates from wild birds ...
[A TIME'S MEMORY] The direct transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses to humans in Eurasia and subsequent disease has sparked research efforts leading to better understanding of HPAI virus transmission and pathogenicity in mammals. There has been minimal focus on examining the capacity of circulating low pathogenic wild bird avian influenza viruses to infect mammals.

A TIME'S MEMORY: Avian influenza A(H5N1) in humans: lessons from ...
[A TIME'S MEMORY] Although no association has yet been established between the level of exposure to avian influenza A(H5N1) and fatalities in Egypt, reports on workers in Asia showed that a high prevalence of infection in the poultry population is associated with a higher incidence of infection in humans, and that controlling such outbreaks of H5N1 influenza in the poultry flocks can stop human infection [7,10,11]. In addition, genetic characterisation of viruses from both the human and avian populations in Asia revealed that the viruses from both species were very similar [9,10].

A TIME'S MEMORY: New Research Findings Can Improve Avian Flu ...
[A TIME'S MEMORY] Genetic analyses of avian influenza in wild birds can help pinpoint likely carrier species and geographic hot spots where Eurasian viruses would be most likely to enter North America, according to new U.S. Geological Survey research. Persistence of the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 (HPAI H5N1) virus in Eurasia and Africa, and concerns that the virus might be transported among continents by migratory birds has resulted in global surveillance programs.

[University of Guelph News] The H5 avian influenza virus is commonly found in wild birds such as migratory waterfowl that are usually unaffected by the virus. They can, however, transmit the virus to a variety of domestic birds including chickens, in which it can cause a range of illness from no signs of disease at all to a severe epidemic that kills all infected birds.

Alan Sipress: Playing chicken with a nightmare flu
[Avian Flu Diary] Sipress has spent years on the trail of avian flu, traveling across much of Asia as he filed reports. He gives us some deep background into the concerns held by many scientists that the H5N1 avian flu virus could meet up with, and swap genetic material, with the pandemic H1N1 virus.
