The bird flu virus H5N1 has been detected for the first time outside the US in a cow in the Netherlands. Antibodies against the pathogen were found in the milk of the animal on a farm in the province of Friesland. The Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut in Greifswald confirms that no such case was previously known worldwide.
Científicos de las universidades de Cambridge y Glasgow han demostrado por qué muchos virus de la gripe aviar pueden seguir replicándose a temperaturas similares a la fiebre que normalmente frenan la gripe humana. Un estudio en Science identifica el gen viral PB1 como crucial para esta tolerancia al calor, generando preocupaciones sobre riesgos pandémicos si tales genes pasan a cepas humanas.
