Laboratory creation of a highly transmissible H5N1 influenza virus: balancing substantial risks and real benefits.

Annals of internal medicine - 20 Mar 2012

Pavia Andrew T

Abstract excerpt

Controversy erupted when influenza researchers announced that they had created an H5N1 influenza virus that was transmissible between ferrets. The controversy escalated when the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) recommended that the work be published but recommended significant voluntary redactions. The responses to the NSABB action and to the research itself have been polarized. A readily...
