[Avianflu.typepad.com] Avian Flu - What we need to know: Even as the World Health Organization presses China and other countries to share bird-flu data for the public good, the WHO itself runs a database limited to a select group of scientists and containing a massive trove of data -- some 2,300 genetic sequences of the virus, around a third of the world's known sequences, according to two people familiar with the database's contents. Any one of those sequences could hold clues to an effective human vaccine or drugs that could kill the virus, or help scientists determine how great a threat it poses.

That means we'll need more scientists like Guan, willing to venture into live-animal markets in countries like Vietnam, India and Indonesia””and we need governments willing to let them do their jobs.””By Bryan Walsh/Tokyo
