Health care debate heats up as Senate Majority Leader Reid gets to work.
While the H1N1 “swine flu” virus circled the globe this spring, causing the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a level 6 pandemic alert, a team of researchers from MIT and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) were already investigating why the new virus spread from person to person less effectively than other flu viruses."While the virus is able to bind human receptors, it clearly ...
With swine flu continuing to spread around the world, researchers say they have found the reason it is - so far - more a series of local blazes than a wide-raging wildfire.
A team from MIT and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found a genetic explanation for why the new H1N1 "swine flu" virus has spread from person to person less effectively than other flu viruses.
With swine flu continuing to spread around the world, researchers say they have found the reason it is — so far — more a series of local blazes than a wide-raging wildfire. The new virus, H1N1, has a protein on its surface that is not very efficient at binding with receptors in people's respiratory tracts, researchers at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology report in ...
Scientists in the US and the Netherlands discovered what most doctors already suspected: the new H1N1 swine flu virus causes more severe infection than seasonal flu, but the two groups disagreed on how easily it spreads, with one finding that it spreads easily while the other finding it does not. The two studies are published in the 2 July online issue of Science.
Washington, July 3: Scientists in the US have come up with an genetic explanation for why the new H1N1 'swine flu' virus has spread from person to person less effectively than other flu viruses.
