Influenza: Old and new threats

Article Abstract:

Influenza, an important disease in humans and animals, is caused by viruses that undergo continuous antigenic change and that possess an animal reservoir. Hence, it is reported that the imposition of new rules for working with infectious influenza viruses under high security and high containment conditions would stifle scientific progress.

A novel influenza A virus mitochondrial protein that induces cell death

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on influenza A virus, a pathogen which can cause catastrophic pandemics. The pathogenicity of influenza A virus complex has been investigated and the results indicate the discovery of the protein affecting the modulation of the host response to influenza A virus via immune cell death hastening.
