[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.

[Biopeer.com] Biopeer: Avian Flu (H5N1): This coupled with reports that Tamiflu, the only known antiviral drug capable of preventing the virus from replicating, not only has limited efficacy but that this too has been marred by the emergence of resistant strains in poultry, has led to fresh initiatives in finding a vaccine to fight the disease. Even as French drug maker Sanofi-Aventis, by far the leader in the endeavor to supply a credible antidote, plans to double its current production capacity of 50 to 60 million doses of Fluzone-brand flu shots, the British firm PowerMed is launching clinical trials of an avian flu vaccine.
