Anadis Limited (ASX: ANX), a research-driven biopharmaceutical company focused on polyclonal antibodies to address human disease, announced important progress concerning its accelerated program to develop a nasal antibody spray to provide immediate post-exposure prophylaxis against a range of influenza viruses.
Working with an animal influenza challenge model in the laboratory of Professor Loreena Brown at the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Melbourne, scientists successfully completed a series of proof-in-principal experiments 
Virus Gets a Taste of Its Own Medicine

Little more than protein capsules chock-full of genetic material, viruses barely rank among the living. Yet like people, at least one virus can catch a virus--the viral equivalent of coming down with the flu. This "flu" virus impairs the host virus's ability to grow and reproduce, a research team studying the largest known viruses reports.
Viruses are tiny biological hijackers that cause diseases that include the common cold, the flu, chickenpox, and AIDS. They infect animals, plants, and microorganisms and use their host's cellular machinery to make copies of themselves

The first experimental bird flu vaccine made from lab-grown cells instead of chicken eggs shows promise in blocking the highly lethal virus...
Influenza A Virus Neuraminidase Limits Viral Superinfection

Enveloped viruses use multiple mechanisms to inhibit infection of a target cell by more than one virion. These mechanisms may be of particular importance for the evolution of segmented viruses, because superinfection exclusion may limit the frequency of reassortment of viral genes.
In this study, the author shows that cellular expression of influenza A virus neuraminidase (NA), but not hemagglutinin (HA) or the M2 proton pump, inhibits entry of HA-pseudotyped retroviruses
Flu season worst in years, vaccine ineffective

This year's flu season has shaped up to be the worst in three years, partly because the vaccine didn't work well against the viruses that made most people sick, health officials said Thursday.

Each year, officials struggle to predict which strains of flu will spread globally, killing up to 500,000. This year, the breeding ground for new influenza strains is centered in East and Southeast Asia.

Influenza viruses coat themselves in fatty material that hardens and protects them in colder temperatures -- a finding that could explain why winter is the flu season, U.S. researchers reported on Sunday.
Whatever Happened to... Avian Flu?

For much of 2005 and 2006, headlines about bird flu were sensational (“Virus 911”), fearmongering (“Bird Flu: We’re All Going to Die”), and plentiful, running in major papers daily. The

Maybe many of you will say vaccinating all children) is a waste of money and resources because the vaccine isn't that effective, but actually, flu activity in Texas is now widespread, however the side effects it is, we should admit that it keeps the flu from spreading.
As Viruses Mutate, Flu Vaccine Becomes Inefficient

The World Health Organizations issued a warning about the necessity of adapting next year’s vaccines to the new strains of viruses. U.S. officials, together with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also warned about the virus mutations that turn the current vaccines into inefficient methods to stop the infections.
This season’s flu strains not a good match for vaccine

Seasonal influenza is spreading widely throughout the United States, with nearly half the cases caused by strains of the virus that are not directly covered by this year’s flu vaccine.

The pandemic influenza of 1918 (Spanish flu) killed 21–50 million people globally, including in Iceland, where the characteristics and spread of the epidemic were well documented. It has been postulated that genetic host factors may have contributed to this high mortality. They identified 455 individuals who died of the Spanish flu in Iceland during a 6-week period during the winter of 1918, representing >92% of all fatal domestic cases mentioned by historical accounts.
Drug-Resistant Flu Virus on the Rise

A drop of vaccine placed under the tongue might one day ward off the flu.
Good News: Universal flu vaccine works in humans
DanyC submitted, created time 7 months 3 weeks (www.newscientist.com)
Ordinary flu vaccines have to change every year as the virus evolves, but the process can miss unexpected strains and is too slow to catch pandemics.
However, vaccine targeting a protein called M2e might not have these problems,because the protein is virtually identical in all influenza A viruses - the type that cause pandemics and much ordinary flu.
Hopes of a flu vaccine that would protect against all strains of influenza A have been bolstered by human tests
