Scientists have successfully revived the genome of the Spanish Flu that struck the world in 1918. This was thought impossible since the lung it was decoded from had been preserved in a substance that ...

Michael Osterholm, University of Minnesota Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy director, was driving to the ...

In 1918, a strain of influenza known as Spanish flu caused a global pandemic, spreading rapidly and killing indiscriminately.

After a 14-year hiatus, the "Border Showdown" — still widely known as the "Border War" — returned Saturday in Columbia, ...

The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 killed more people than World War I, with estimates ranging from 20 to 50 million deaths around the globe. When it arrived in the United States in early 1918, it ...

Led by Dr. Verena Schünemann, the study combines archaeogenetics, historical pathology, and modern virology to understand not just the virus’s genetic structure, but how it was already changing in the ...

A pair of lungs preserved over a century ago from a deceased Spanish flu patient has helped unravel the genetic adaptations undergone by the virus to spread across Europe during the start of the 1918 ...

The preserved lung of an 18-year-old Swiss man has been used to create the full genome of the 1918 "Spanish flu," the first complete influenza A genome with a precise date from Europe. It offers new ...

Researchers from the universities of Basel and Zurich have used a historical specimen from UZH's Medical Collection to decode the genome of the virus responsible for the 1918-1920 influenza pandemic ...
