From Helen Branswell this evening, a report that the NSABB – after reviewing new data submitted by flu researcher Ron Fouchier – has cleared the way for the publication of both his, and Yoshihiro Kawaoka’s work on ferret transmissible H5N1.
The vote to publish Karaoka’s paper was unanimous, while the vote for Fourchier’s was 12 to 6.
The NSABB serves in an advisory capacity only, and it will be up to the United States government to either accept or reject their recommendations.
