In its latest reports, WHO warns that new influenza strains — particularly Influenza A subtypes like H1N1 and H3N2 — have the potential to trigger global pandemics if not well-managed.

These immune responses conferred broad protection against various influenza A virus subtypes, including human H1N1 and H3N2, and avian H5N1 strains.

New research results from mouse and swine studies, describe a vaccine that protects against H1N1 swine flu and can also protect against human and bird influenza variants.  Post-experiment ...
