Mice and ferrets are protected from several deadly viruses when genes encoding “broadly neutralizing antibodies” are delivered into their nasal passages.
Three patients infected with the new H7N9 bird flu have developed resistance to antiviral drug treatment, causing great concern among doctors.
The virus is able to transmit between the small mammals, but does not appear to spread readily through human-to-human contact.
The brain’s role in aging; tracking disease; understanding the new flu virus; no autism-Lyme link; one drug’s journey from bench to bedside
Hybrid viruses derived from an H5N1 bird flu strain can infect guinea pigs through the air.
