But if we are using ferrets as surrogates for humans, it is very important to do so in the context of prior immunity." An ongoing outbreak of H5N1 bird flu virus has been spreading in dairy cow ...

Compared to immunologically naïve animals, ferrets that were immune to H1N1 because of an earlier infection were protected against severe disease and death caused by a strain of H5N1 bird flu ...

Traws Pharma, Inc. reported positive topline results from studies involving ferrets treated with tivoxavir marboxil for H5N1 bird flu, indicating significant suppression of disease and reduced ...

Very few humans have gone up against bird flu. But we've all dealt with seasonal flu for years. Some of our immune systems ...

Tivoxavir marboxil (TXM), administered as a single dose in non-human primates, significantly reduced lung viremia and prevented weight loss, two ...

Using a ferret model, they found that pre-existing immunity influences infection severity. It protected them against severe disease and death by a strain of H5N1 bird flu -- currently circulating ...

“Topline data from the ferret model testing show that tivoxavir marboxil has the potential to inhibit disease after bird flu infection,” said C. David Pauza, PhD, Chief Science Officer for ...
