Engineered H5N1: a rare time for restraint in science.

Annals of internal medicine - 20 Mar 2012

Inglesby Thomas V

Abstract excerpt

Two scientific teams have recently engineered the H5N1 virus to make it readily transmissible between ferrets. Given that ferrets are considered the most reliable animal surrogate for human influenza infection, the newly engineered H5N1 strain is probably transmissible between humans as well. The...
