Recent recommendations by the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) to redact key methodological details of two studies involving mammal-to-mammal transmission of the H5N1 (H5) subtype influenza viruses, has led to a temporary moratorium on all research involving live H5N1 or H5 HA reassortant viruses shown to be transmissible in ferrets. Herein, I review the events which led to this impasse and comment on their impact.
美国国家生物安全科学咨询委员会(NSABB)最近建议对两项涉及H5N1(H5)亚型流感病毒在哺乳动物间传播的研究的关键方法细节进行编辑,这导致了对所有涉及已证明可在雪貂中传播的活H5N1或H5 HA重配病毒的研究暂时暂停。在此,我回顾导致这一僵局的事件并评论其影响。
