[The Birdchaser] The Skinny on the Latest PNAS Bird Flu Article: As the only support for the wild bird transmission hypothesis, the paper cites a World Animal Health Organization report of Russian H5N1 viruses similar to those at Qinghai in several domestic ducks and geese and one wild duck last summer, and a Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations bulletin that only suggests in passing that wild birds may be transmitting the virus. None of this constitutes real evidence of wild birds spreading H5N1 during migration, and it seems irresponsible for the authors of this paper to base their claim of wild bird transmission of H5N1 on these weak sources.
[H5N1Drome] Pubsub Feed: Since the current wave of avian flu began sweeping through poultry in Southeast Asia more than 18 months ago, international and U.S. health authorities have been warning of the danger and trying to mobilize. Research on vaccines has accelerated, efforts to build up drug supplies are underway, and discussions take place regularly on developing a coordinated global response.
[Living the Scientific Life (The Archives)] Avian Influenza and the 'War on Birds': In 1997, this “bird flu” virus roared onto the epidemiological scene by decimating poultry markets in Hong Kong and stunning health officials around the world by killing six people in that city. However, after extensive testing, scientists realized that this supposedly “new” virus had actually been identified decades earlier: It is a variant of the H5N1 virus that was first isolated in 1961 from terns in South Africa.
