Seasonal and pandemic influenza: at the crossroads

I have a Web of Science alert running, which sends me references to new literature on avian and pandemic flu. It has alerted me to this supplement to the Journal of Infectious Diseases:
Seasonal and Pandemic Influenza: At the Crossroads, a Global Opportunity, suppl. 2 to vol. 194, and available online from
http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/JID/journal/contents/v194nS2.html. The supplement is sponsored by a number of bodies including CDC and NIAID.

Avian and pandemic influenza

"My" webpage on this subject has moved to a new URL, as part of the redesign of the Library's website.

You will find it now at http://www.le.ac.uk/library/clinical/influenza.html.

The page has also been archived as part of the UK Web Archiving Consortium project, which is nice!
