NewsExperiments in infant mice suggest new way to prevent spread of flu in people
A new study in infant mice shows that keeping virus particles from attaching to sialic acids limits more than just the entry of influenza A viral infections, but also hinders their exit (shedding) and transmission from mouse to mouse.
