CDC is saddened by Louisiana’s report that a person previously hospitalized with severe avian influenza A(H5N1) illness (bird flu) has passed away.
CDC has carefully studied the available information about the person who died in Louisiana and continues to assess that the risk to the general public remains low. Most importantly, no person-to-person transmission spread has been identified. As with the case in Louisiana, most H5 bird flu infections are related to animal-to-human exposures.

Our preprint is now published! Fertility decline in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes is associated with reduced maternal transcript deposition and does not depend on female age @ODavid2015#mosquito#FIU https://t.co/2sUkMMPZc9
Our friend Dr. @MattDeGennaro and his team @FIU are doing some exciting #mosquito research work. Here's a post in @WUSF about their latest discovery, how females rely on each other to find the best breeding sites. Click through to learn more. https://t.co/KETliJQqnV
Great to see our friends from @FIU@MattDeGennaro and @AndreSilvaAedes and their study highlighed on @WLRN. Love the new logo, too! Click through to learn how female #mosquitoes rely on each other to hunt for the best breeding sites. #FightTheBite

Want to control where mosquitoes lay their eggs? We discovered communal cues Aedes aegypti use to manage their population at breeding sites. Time to rethink skip-oviposition.

Why are you confused? There's just genes. And alternate splicing. And regulatory elements. And regulatory elements in the alternate splicing. And regulatory elements are transcribed. And RNAs can do things. And proteins can fold differently in different cell types. And...
IT’S ITALY’S MOST EPIC SLEEPER TRAIN: Over 950 miles from Milan to Palermo, it’s a train that goes onto a boat, and a private single-bed sleeper cost me all of €84.90. I can resist anything except temptation…
