Flu (Influenza)Recent Scientific Findings
NIAID conducts and supports a wide-range of ongoing influenza research to find better ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat seasonal and pandemic influenza, including H1N1 flu. Most of the latest influenza research findings are available at: Flu (Influenza) News Releases and Statements.

In addition, scientists in NIAID laboratories and NIAID-funded researchers worldwide are working intensely on other new research to prepare for seasonal and pandemic influenza outbreaks. Recent scientific findings from this research include:

•Study Yields Hybrid Flu Strains That Cause Severe Disease
•Combination Drugs a Potential Treatment for Influenza
•Researchers Find Immune System of Healthy Adults May Be Better Prepared Than Expected to Fight 2009 H1N1 Influenza Virus
•Researchers Find 2009 H1N1 Influenza Virus Spreads Rapidly But Generally Causes Mild Illness in Ferrets
•Researchers Examine 2009 H1N1 Influenza Protection, Severity and Treatment
•NIAID Funded Researchers Find H1N1 Influenza Was Transmitted to Humans Several Months Before Recognition of the Outbreak
•TipDCs—The Necessary Evil of Lethal Influenza Virus Infection
•Predominant role of bacterial pneumonia as a cause of death in pandemic influenza: Implications for pandemic influenza preparedness
