The Pause on Avian H5N1 Influenza Virus Transmission Research Should Be Ended

ABSTRACT A voluntary 60-day pause on avian H5N1 influenza virus transmission research was announced in January 2012 by the international community of influenza scientists engaged in this work to provide time to explain the benefits of such work and the risk mitigation measures in place. Subsequently...
