NewsBeyond health: The political effects of infectious disease outbreaks
A new study gives empirical evidence that individuals who experienced an infectious disease outbreak show significantly less trust in the political establishment.

NewsChameleon plant polysccharide targets acute pneumonia with H1N1 and MRSA coinfection
A new study discusses how an anti-complement homogeneous polysaccharide from Houttuynia cordata ameliorates acute pneumonia with H1N1 and MRSA coinfection through rectifying Treg/Th17 imbalance in the gut–lung axis and NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

NewsNew vaccine protects against swine, human and bird flu
Annual flu shots could become a thing of the past under a new vaccine strategy. A new study describes a vaccine that protects against H1N1 swine flu and can also protect against influenza in humans and birds.

NewsScientists engineer antibody against flu with sticky staying power
Scientists have engineered a monoclonal antibody that can protect mice from a lethal dose of influenza A, a new study shows. The new molecule combines the specificity of a mature flu fighter with the broad binding capacity of a more general immune system defender. Source: NIAID Colorized transmission ...

NewsImmunity against seasonal H1N1 flu reduces bird flu severity in ferrets, study suggests
Pre-existing immunity against seasonal H1N1 flu might help explain why most reported human cases of H5N1 bird flu in the U.S. have not resulted in lethal outcomes, suggests a new study.

NewsSmall antibody offers broad protection against influenza
Researchers have discovered an antibody-like molecule that can protect mice from various influenza viruses. The findings could pave the way for new treatments and the development of broader influenza vaccines.

NewsSimple test for flu could improve diagnosis and surveillance
A low-cost CRISPR-based paper strip test distinguishes between influenza types and can be reprogrammed to recognize different viruses including the H5N1 bird flu virus.

NewsSwine flu strain has passed from humans to swine nearly 400 times since 2009
A new study of the strain of influenza A responsible for the 2009 H1N1 pandemic shows that the virus has passed from humans to swine about 370 times since 2009, and subsequent circulation in swine has resulted in the evolution of pdm09 variants that then jumped from swine to humans.

NewsScientists closing in on long-lasting swine flu vaccine
A successful long-term experiment with live hogs indicates scientists may be another step closer to achieving a safe, long-lasting and potentially universal vaccine against swine flu.

NewsComputer model of influenza virus shows universal vaccine promise
Researchers have created an atomic-level computer model of the H1N1 virus that reveals new vulnerabilities, suggesting possible strategies for the design of future vaccines and antivirals against influenza.
