Research archive: 1918 Spanish Flu

Nature Publishing Group's unique research archive documents the landmark scientific achievements of the avian flu research community in trying to understand and predict the biology of the H5N1 virus, and develop new and better drugs and vaccines.

Capturing human behaviour FREE

Understanding the dynamics of infectious-disease transmission demands a holistic approach, yet today's models largely ignore how epidemics change individual behaviour.

Influenza: Fatal immunity and the 1918 virus FREE

Innate immune defences are our first line of protection against infection by viruses and are essential in limiting viral disease. But their reaction to the 1918 influenza virus could have been deadly.
