Scientists Who Created Mutant Bird Flu Speak at Royal Society Conference

Yoshihiro Kawaoka, professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison revealed in a conference at the Royal Society last month how he created a hybrid bird flu that could spread by exposure to coughing and sneezing.

Kawaoka created the hybrid flu strain by integrating the H5N1 bird flu with swine flu. The same swine flu that caused the pandemic in 2009.
Foucher remarked that he was interested in the ability to control a virus and its ability to infect people.

While this discovery was significant, the US National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) requested that portions of Kawaoka’s work be removed from his paper before publishing it in the British science journal, Nature.
