“This suggests that there are common themes responsible for the virulence of influenza viruses,”
Adolfo Garcia
“This suggests that there are common themes responsible for the virulence of influenza viruses, ... In the case of these genes, we have a new target for the development of new antiviral drugs aimed at decreasing the virulence of highly pathogenic influenza viruses.”
“So this may give a whole new clue as to why certain influenza viruses are very virulent and might lead to new targets of drug design, where you might be able to actually dampen immune response a bit.”
Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger
“What makes you vulnerable is the virulence, the dangerousness, of the virus, and the 1918 virus was one dangerous virus, ... Avian flu, too - when it infects, it kills. That's why people are scared, and reasonably so.”
Paul Offit
“We do not know yet whether this (bird flu in Turkey) is the same virulent virus that has caused such widespread destruction in Asia,”
Markos Kyprianou
“In the early sixties, we were strong, we were virulent...”
John Connally
“This is a huge epidemic. This is where resistance and virulence meet.”
