POPSBird Flu - Thailand - Illustrates Why It goes On and On It's about money honey - always about money. So if you come a culling chickens, I'll be trying to hide mine! That phenomena goes on and on and on. Other methods must be considered to control the spread of bird flu; which could become the next pandemic spring board.

POPSDeja vu in Viet Nam once again - Bird flu strikes again They have been trying culling, shots and all the classical ways of controlling a disease and it's not working - why? Because they need to think outside of the box and find ways to get farmers to help end pandemic scourge in a new way - turning bird droppings into methane gas by "cooking" it and at same time kill bird flu and potential human flu.

POPSIndia has had bird flu but is banning poultry related products from nations that have had it too - I India has meat eaters but is predominately a vegan nation - but they raise poultry to export and have had outbreaks of avian flu in their flocks. Now they are banning importation of poultry products from other nations that have similarly afflicted. It all sounds a bit ironic, oxymoronic, and strange. Will they complain when and if other nations ban the import of birds from India? There are smart ways to break the pandemic threat but India and others are not looking beyond the easy and political.

POPSNewly described 'dragon' protein could be key to bird flu cure This unexpected relationship between the two subunits could inspire a number of different therapies or vaccines for H5N1 that rely on muzzling the "dragon's" jaws with another molecule or chemical compound that would block the PB1 subunit's access to the PA site, according to Joachimiak. "If we can put a bit in the dragon's mouth, we can slow or even potentially someday stop the spread of avian flu," he said. "Since we are talking about a relatively small protein surface area, finding a way to inhibit RNA replication in H5N1 seems very feasible."
