A number of other news reports treated it as brand new evidence as well. But Dr Kawaoka confirmed for me today that the virus he calls A/VN/30408 is the same as A/VN/HN30408 from the earlier report. ---------------------------------------------- -- Helen Branswell ----------------------------------------------- [ProMED-mail appreciates Helen Branswell's assistance in forwarding this information. - Mod.CP] ___________________________________________________________________ ****** [2] Date: Sun 16 Oct 2005 From: Andrea Jones ______________________________________________________________ Attention UK health practitioners --------------------------------- re: ProMED-mail post: Influenza viruses, drug resistance (05) 20051015.3014: In the light of the Nature article, it might be useful if ProMED-mail could draw the attention of UK health practitioners to the National Institute of Clinical Excellence's (NICE) current consultation on the status of zanamivir and oseltamivir.
