A new study from Tufts University and other collaborators takes a data-driven look at influenza viruses circulating among different groups of birds and characterizes which types of birds are involved in spreading the virus. This paper publishes at a time when a highly pathogenic strain of avian influenza has been spreading across North America.
Researchers have shown for the first time in mice that heart problems seen in some of the sickest flu patients are caused by direct influenza infection of cardiac cells.
Ted Ross, Ph.D., has been appointed Global Director of Vaccine Development at Cleveland Clinic. In this newly created role, he will lead the development of novel vaccine platforms for a variety of infectious diseases, including influenza, HIV and COVID-19. A highly renowned scientist with expertise in virology, vaccines, immunology and microbiology, Dr. Ross’ research focuses on the design of new vaccines and the implementation of new vaccine trials.
The two-year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic came and went without much fanfare, thanks to a lull in cases and deaths, and the start of a war in Ukraine that has grabbed the world’s attention. But for medical historians who led an exhaustive study of the 1918 influenza pandemic, the recent milestone offers a chance to look back on the parallels, and differences, in how the nation responded to both massive infectious threats.
A new study set out to better understand the impacts and trade-offs policymakers must consider when addressing modern infectious diseases and their macroeconomic repercussions.

Researchers at McMaster University have found that children who receive years of season-specific flu vaccines develop antibodies that also provide broader protection against new strains, including those capable of causing pandemics.
Queen’s University Belfast will lead a new £1.6m collaborative project to rapidly identify new treatments for COVID-19.
发热、胃部不适、腹泻、咽喉疼痛、寒战、咳嗽、打喷嚏和头痛都会让您感到痛苦。而在您感到不适时往往很难确切知道问题出在哪里，也不知道怎么让自己好起来。随着流感季节临近，我们正好借此机会来探讨什么是流感症状和非流感症状。
يمكن أن تجعلك الحمى واضطراب المعدة والإسهال والتهاب الحلق والقشعريرة والسعال والعطاس والصداع في حال بائسة. وعندما لا تكون على ما يرام، قد يكون من الصعب أحيانًا معرفة المشكلة بالضبط، وكيف يمكنك مساعدة نفسك على الشعور بالتحسن. مع اقتراب موسم الإنفلونزا، فالوقت مناسب الآن للنظر في أعراض الإنفلونزا- وما ليس بسبب الإنفلونزا.
Mayo Clinic experts are available to offer commentary and perspective on the "new normal" as COVID-19 transitions to an endemic disease. Among Mayo Clinic experts who are available
As the first cases of flu are reported in Los Angeles this season, public health experts are urging anyone who isn't already vaccinated to get the flu shot. It's the best protection against the flu, which could pummel the U.S. this winter after nearly disappearing last year.
Vaccine hesitancy is considered one of the top 10 threats to public health by the World Health Organization.
High levels of European ancestry are associated with an increase in type I interferon pathway activity in early infection
For the second straight year, flu season is emerging against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the number of flu cases was relatively low last year, experts at Johns Hopkins Medicine say that this year, it could be much higher.
With two viruses threatening to make older adults sick this winter, a new poll shows most people over 50 have gotten protected by vaccines against both influenza and coronavirus, or plan to. And a majority of those who have gotten the COVID-19 vaccine plan to get an additional dose. But the poll also reveals major differences in vaccine attitudes between older adults, including those of different political leanings.
As flu season approaches, public health officials are urging people to get a flu shot. Many communities of color are at higher risk of death from both influenza and COVID-19, says DePaul University health sciences faculty member Julia Lippert, and outcomes vary across the largest cities in the United States.
Lateral flow assays often called ‘dipsticks’ have been a popular point-of-care testing platform for decades (think, pregnancy tests, glucose tests, even coronavirus tests). But they have limitations. A team of researchers is overcoming those limitations with development of a flow control technology, turning these simple tests into complex biomedical assays.
Although the influenza virus varies a lot from year to year, the flu usually contributes to approximately 1000 deaths a year in Norway.
