#Genetically Modified Chickens Developed Than Cannot Transmit Bird flu Scientists develop GM chickens that do not spread bird flu.
British scientists have developed genetically modified (GM) chickens that cannot transmit bird flu infections#a step that in future could reduce the risk of avian flu spreading
and causing deadly epidemics in humans. Scientists from Cambridge and Edinburgh universities said that while the transgenic chickens still got sick
and died when they were exposed to H5n1 bird flu, they didnt transmit the virus to other chickens they came into contact with.
H5n1 bird flu has been circulating in Asia and the Middle east, with occasional outbreaks in Europe, since 2003 and has killed
and producing a pandemic in which millions of people could die. ECONOMIC AND FOOD SECURITY THREAT In Southeast asia, China and parts of Africa, bird flu is already a major economic and food security issue,
and also poses a constant threat of being transmitted to humans. South korea already battling an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease,
said this week it was raising its bird flu alert level after detecting H5n1 bird flu at poultry farms.
Helen Sang from the Roslin Institute at Edinburgh University, who worked with Tiley, told a joint briefing the GM chickens could offer a way to improve economic
and food security in parts of the world where bird flu is a major threat, but said using them would probably add slightly to farming costs.
the researchers introduced a new gene into them that manufactures a small decoy#molecule that mimics an important control element of the bird flu virus. The replication machinery of the virus is tricked into recognizing the decoy molecule instead of the viral genes
they infected 10 of them and 10 normal chickens with H5n1 bird flu. Like the normal chickens, the transgenic birds became sick with the virus,
but they did not transmit the infection on to other chickens kept in the same pen with them
The researchers said they now plan to work on trying to make chickens that are fully resistant to bird flu rather than just blocking bird-to-bird transmission.
