[quote:Vic-chick13:MV8yMTg4NDQwXzM4MDY0MzkyX0RFNEUwOEZF] [quote:prodlikegod:MV8yMTg4NDQwXzM4MDYzNDUzXzlENjQ1OTU4] Study Examines Transmissibility of H7N9 Avian Influenza Virus Chinese and U.S. scientists have used virus isolated from a person who died from H7N9 avian influenza infection to determine whether the virus could infect and be transmitted between ferrets. Ferrets are often used as a mammalian model in influenza research, and efficient transmission of influenza virus between ferrets can provide clues as to how well the same process might occur in people. The research was supported, in part, by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health. http://www.infectioncontroltoday.com/news/2013/05/study-examines-transmissibility-of-h7n9-avian-influenza-virus.aspx Good read NOT good news... [/quote] From link: All the infected ferrets and pigs showed mild signs of illness, such as sneezing, nasal discharge, and lethargy, but none of the infected animals became seriously ill. - I find that very interesting. Seems the only thing this virus kills is... us!!! [/quote]
