Biosafety Considerations of Mammalian-Transmissible H5N1 Influenza

ABSTRACT The ability to produce an H5N1 influenza virus that can be transmitted from human to human raises both biosecurity and biosafety concerns. After analyzing the biosafety risks of such a virus, we propose that it be handled at biosafety level 4 (BSL4) containment until and unless it becomes c...
