New things on flu

Here are some articles and other items on influenza. I have added them to my list of avian and pandemic influenza resources if appropriate (I am not really adding individual papers, as they can be found through searches of databases like PubMed or Medline).

A Nature editorial on containing the 1918 influenza virus.

A World Bank report on avian influenza in East Asia.

A BMJ clinical review, by Douglas Fleming, of influenza pandemics and avian flu.

A major database of genetic information on flu viruses has run out of money: report from SciDev.Net

Piece on summit held in Geneva, organised by the WHO, FAO and others, from the Lancet of the 5th November and the Lancet of 12th November. The Lancet site needs a password: read details of where to find it here.
