Moratorium on influenza H5N1 transmission research

17.02.2012

Flu and public health experts meeting at the World Health Organization (WHO) on issues surrounding two controversial H5N1 transmission studies today agreed on a plan to extend a voluntary research moratorium but publish the full results at a later date.
The move came after talks at the World Health Organisation in Geneva failed to settle a dispute over whether their findings should be made public.
