Article Abstract:
Influenza, an important disease in humans and animals, is caused by viruses that undergo continuous antigenic change and that possess an animal reservoir. Hence, it is reported that the imposition of new rules for working with infectious influenza viruses under high security and high containment conditions would stifle scientific progress.
