Another virtue of my experiments is that I use the same long single strand over and over again (the natural virus sequence) and I just change the ∼200 short staple strands. This means I don't have to do a custom long synthesis every time I want to make a new structure.

Paul Rothemund

We advise all companies to consider circulating a policy on virus hoaxes to curb the spread of these annoying emails that can cause mail overload and results in down time and loss of profits. Although they do not cause serious network damage, certain hoaxes, such as the HIV Needle email, are cruel tricks that can be very upsetting for those users receiving them.

Carole Theriault

It's a property of this virus that it can go into these animals. One just has to watch and see what happens because the virus has the property to evolve.

Hugh Pennington

With the increase of clusters the possibility has to be thoroughly examined that the virus might have changed and could possibly spread from human to human.

Siti Fadillah Supari

Although many machines have been disinfected, we're certainly not out of the woods yet. Many machines may still be infected without their owner's knowledge. The amount of media attention regarding the destructiveness and rapid propagation of the worm are accelerating action to block and remove the virus.

Dmitri Alperovitch

There are many factors involved in disease progression, and the type of virus is one of them. Our work may help us tease out what about this particular virus causes disease progression, and that may help us figure out how to stop it, either by preventing the spread, or blocking the mechanism to keep it from being so pathogenic.

Oliver Laeyendecker

We are concerned that the virus may still circulate after this campaign.

Georg Petersen

The virus doesn't respect any borders. Any uncontrolled movement or handling within countries or across borders is a risk factor.

Dida Connor

We got no indication that the virus had changed.

Hans Troedsson

We can make the chemicals we've talked about, make them into drugs and make them available. It ought to take the virus out in 24 hours.

Kary Mullis

The hardware has become more mature over past years. It tends to have fewer problems. People tend to have more problems around the complexity of software and virus issues.

Ted Werth

I can tell you right off the top there's no question we're surprised by the large number of samples containing the H5 virus.

Aaron Lewis

We don't want to produce grapes. We want to answer the scientific question of whether this transgenic (genetically modified) root can lead to the plant developing durable resistance to this virus.

Olivier Lemaire

The key thing is that everyone who is suspected of having the virus is in the hospital now, and the hospital's infection control is improving. There is no spread in the hospital as far as we know.

Klaus Stoehr

The problem is that, just like real viruses, we can't stamp out computer strains. Viruses never go away, and what we don't need is 1 million virus signatures in virus scanners.

Paul Robertson

That's an exceptional number for a virus in a 24-hour period. Things quieted down a little bit after a tremendous outbreak last week, but now this thing has gone back to pegging the needle.

Andrew Lochart

It worries us, because it is a virus that would theoretically better bind to human cells.

Ruben Donis

We just received confirmation from [a WHO-affiliated laboratory in] Hong Kong that they were infected with the bird flu virus.

Ilham Patu

For some days we have been expecting animals carrying the virus to be found.

Didier Houssin

The transmission link between migrating birds and domestic ones has to be cut off before the virus has a chance to get into a host.

Kamyar Dahim

We took entries from nine shippers. Those horsemen will be required to produce a 72-hour health certificate at the stable gate, which indicates that they are free from the virus.

Sal Sinatra

The virus is at higher levels during this time of year. Many residents will be enjoying outdoor activities over the Labor Day holiday and it is important for people to protect themselves during this time.

Jennifer Ward

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

This is not a nuisance control program. It's targeting potential species that can carry West Nile virus.

Brian Moss

Development of a safe and effective rotavirus vaccine has been a worldwide priority since the virus was discovered in the 1970s. It became clear at that time that it was one of the major killers of children, and there was no effective treatment.

David Matson

Since a lot of HIV carriers who contracted the virus before 1998 have turned into AIDS patients now, the situation of the disease will be much more serious in the future.

Huang Fei

We always knew this happened, but the process was like a black box. Now, we know that the matrix protein is involved and is incredibly important in virus reproduction. This pushes forward our knowledge of how this virus is so effective at replicating.

John Connor

I think the smart money would say we're going to have another heavy season of West Nile virus this summer because of the wet spring, (which means) a lot of mosquitoes, ... Weekend House Call.

Daniel Blumenthal

Using this technology we can have much broader protection, which is important because the virus is always changing.

Dr Andrea Gambotto

They are probably H5 (a less lethal virus) but not H5N1.

Oskar Wawschinek

That is the danger with influenza – compared to any other virus I know – that it can suddenly transform itself, reinvent itself and spread around the world.

John Oxford

It selects the virus to try and escape from the drugs by becoming resistant. That's a natural thing that any microbe does when you treat it.

Anthony S. Fauci

One of the most prevalent zoonotic diseases is associated with mosquitoes — West Nile virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis and St. Louis Encephalitis.

James Wright

Most U.S. users updated their anti-virus solutions because of Melissa, so they are safe.

Sal Viveros

The North American West Nile virus epidemic persists.

Lyle Petersen

Virus peddlers target the most popular system.

Dean Stockwell

My intention is not to draw attention to something that's not a virus, ... We want people to know what's critical or crucial or something they need to be aware of, versus something that's ordinary.

Vincent Gullotto

Every year we have between 40 and 80 cases, with about three of these clusters. No one really knows why, nor does anyone really know why this virus attacked this age group (of young people in their late teens or early 20s). We do know it is spread through close contact by oral secretions. About five percent of the population has the virus all the time and never gets sick, but is always contagious.

Dr. Tina Stefanski

There is no transmission from human to human so far with a mutation of the virus. We are not there at the moment, but it is the responsibility for the WHO to look at this. . . . There is no reason to panic.

Dr. Marc Danzon

We are delighted to see the situation progressing the way we had hoped. The fact we will be back to normal training hours and have another barn released at Pimlico is good news for all. We feel confident we are reaching the end of the road regarding the virus, and look forward to the day when we are back to 100% normalcy.

Lou Raffetto

The biggest threat is a mutation of the virus and its transfer to people. We know that birds are disease carriers. It could be a worldwide disaster.

Yossi Leshem

If in the next three months there are no more new cases, international norms prescribe that we will be declared disease-free. Surveillance of the virus will continue for next three years and then the disease will be presumed to have been eliminated from the country.

Dr Nk Ganguly

Without his insights, we would fail to appreciate the dangerous potentials of rapid evolution in the avian flu virus.

Michael Novacek

Her family said a number of chickens belonging to her neighbors had died suddenly before she fell ill. So, she must have contracted the virus from the sick birds.

Ilham Patu

There were several possible explanations: Either people had hidden them, killed them, eaten them or sold them off. The key to containing the virus is stopping movement of flocks, but traders may take advantage and offer people a low price to be rid of their birds.

Serge Verniau

We try to stay out of the business of making predictions, but it seems reasonable to assume that the virus will continue to spread to adjacent areas.

Bob Dietz

It could be just some nasty virus that hit Longfellow hard, and hopefully by Monday, it will be taken care of.

Susie Poulton

The key questions are what exactly is this virus, what risk could it provide to humans and where it goes next. Until the sequencing information is provided by the government, it's very difficult to know.

Julie Hall

CSA-54 killed a wide range of HIV isolates, and completely blocked genetically engineered HIV that enters the cells independent of the cell surface receptor the virus normally uses.

Derya Unutmaz

We need international co-operation to fight the virus.

Yuri Thamrin

You have to delete all files of the virus off your machine and then you have to re-install the programs that it affects.

Rick Levitt

The effect on the business can be much, much greater than a virus.

Steve Munford

This is proof of their knowledge that they need to offer more integrated applications, as anti-virus, anti-spam and the firewall need to work closely together.

Peter Firstbrook

Companies that receive daily updates of good anti-virus software could nip this thing in the bud.

Lev Grossman

However, it is clear that the virus the lab has identified is the virus that causes SARS.

Iain Simpson

The batch of birds exported to Britain and other countries had been tested before leaving the country and did not have the H5N1 virus.

Watson Sung

People need to be much more vigilant in looking at e-mails. Just as with the original Love Letter virus, the e-mail will appear to come from someone you know.

Michael Vatis

It does not do a whole lot right now, but we will see a different type of virus down the road because of this. This is forward-looking, but it lets people know there will be attacks.

Craig Schmugar

We cannot let our guard down, because a series of genetic changes could happen at any time that could allow this virus to pick up the capacity to move from person to person.

Dr. William Schaffner

We can confirm it is actually possible to vaccinate humans against this bird virus.

Terry Nolan

Like people, the great majority of horses that get the virus will not show symptoms.

Steve Lyle

If they find a way to get rid of the virus on the American root, with assurances that it does not pass into the European grafted-on vine, it would be a great, great success. You have to try.

Jean Hugel

The more widespread it becomes, the greater the possibility that the (bird flu) virus could become altered and become more of a threat to the human population.

Bob Dietz

The last time we had such advance warning was with the Michelangelo virus [in 1992], but back then people were running around wondering what to do. This time I've been impressed by the number of our clients taking a proactive approach to the problem. It was almost a proof of concept virus, a 'Let's see what happens if you give people all the time in world to prepare' attack.

John Pironti

To become a pandemic the virus has to go through a number of mutation barriers and from what we have found, we are no nearer to that.

Frederick Leung

It is very possible that people will catch the bird flu virus.

Roy Wadia

For the most part, my users are not interested in shutting down virus scanning. I want to know more about what's behind the question. Are we talking about virus scanning? People should be written up for that.

Tom Kroll

It [the virus] is extremely difficult to get rid of, so scientists do not want to raise false hope. It's a very interesting observation, but we have to be cautious to see if this observation could be confirmed.

David Ho

We must be careful the virus does not decimate the entire team.

Ottmar Hitzfeld

The virus writers [are] ... back from vacation and they've started pushing out their creations.

Vincent Gullotto

We don't want to panic the public, ... We need to let the public know what to do if it (an outbreak) occurs. Get vaccinated. Practice good hygiene measures, such as hand washing with soap. Don't go to work if you're sick because you could spread the virus to other workers.

Gregory Gray

The import of poultry or poultry products can also pass the virus and the hypothesis that wild birds are to blame is groundless.

Gao Fu

We are very concerned by the high virus levels we are finding in mosquitoes in areas of Plymouth County.

Alfred Demaria

But it is not bird flu virus.

S.k.r. Amarasekara

The virus wants to survive. The only way the virus can survive is to kill my people. I got to do more.

Pernessa Seele

Although we have not discovered the virus it is a threat and we have decided to take precautions. We must remain on high alert in all areas and continue to seriously step up prevention and control work.

Dr Kassim Gharib

Many people are confused by what it means to be high-risk. It doesn't have anything to do with being at higher risk for exposure to the flu virus, such as teachers or bus drivers. People who are at high-risk are those whose health could be severely impacted if they were to contract the flu, such as those who have pre-existing health problems or a compromised immune system.

Sharon Brown

The flu virus can stay alive for 48 hours on hard surfaces. So people really need to disinfect and clean. Bedding and towels should be washed in hot water, 130 degrees, and dried in a hot dryer.

Amy Olson

HPV cannot be cured. The virus can remain dormant in the body forever and be the cause of recurrent outbreaks of genital warts and abnormal Pap smears.

Jeffrey Hines

As a whole we are very bad at washing hands. If (people) don't wash their hands before they eat, they basically ingest the virus.

Kirk Smith

The virus this particular year that is most prominent is called the California strain. This particular virus strain is perhaps more potent than we've had in the past.

Art Mollen

When you stop drugs what will happen is the virus reactivates itself and it replicates and then you get a rebound in your viral load.

Bruce Rashbaum

The data indicate the virus is being transmitted efficiently from dog to dog. It is now well established in the dog population.

Ruben Donis

[Malmuth thinks the fever for poker will subside yet the sport will still maintain a higher temperature than it did a few years ago. He points to the generation coming of age, and into the workplace, picking up the green-felt virus in college.] They're not interested in drugs anymore, ... but they want to play poker.

Mason Malmuth

The biggest issue customers have is with zero-day attacks. In the case of this virus, there was plenty of warning and time for users to have their antivirus updated and systems protected.

Allan Bell

I've had four injuries in eight weeks, I've had a stomach virus. I've lost five kilos. And it all came after the best pre-season I've ever had.

John Godina

This is tremendous. The labels have been saying all along that they can't compete with free, but there is a way to compete with free: high value content that's virus-free and gives people the chance to be first in line to buy expensive concert tickets. This is like loyalty clubs at the supermarkets.

Jonathan Potter

If the virus has been around for so long, there may have been dozens, hundreds or thousands of exposures to humans and nothing has happened so far when it comes to genetic recombination. That's good news, absolutely.

Klaus Stohr

Code Red means there's a framework for a worm out there right now that has proven its effectiveness to spread. All [virus writers] need is a new vulnerability.

Jim Toole

It has no disease control system. This virus can infect not only birds, but other animals too.

Guan Yi

The previous vaccine we developed was a strain obtained in Vietnam from 2004. The vaccine against the Vietnam virus would not be the most appropriate to protect against the Indonesia-like viruses.

Ruben Donis

We are bringing in U.S. experts to help ... our CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) in particular is helping them to figure out ways in which they can reduce the spread of the virus.

Jendayi Frazer

Not surprisingly, 85 per cent said spam and virus protection had been their number one concern in 2005.

Andrew Lochart

When someone has a virus, it naturally dies in the body after seven to ten days. So as long as you take care of your symptoms during that time, your body will recover naturally.

Melanie Krauthoff

These are birds that are already endangered, and any further pressure either from the virus itself or misguided attempts to control it through culling would be disastrous.

Andy Evans

Females age 16 and under have immature cells of the cervix. These immature cervical cells are much more likely to be infected with HPV than the cervical cells of older women. And when a female age 16 and under is infected with HPV, the virus tends to cause more damage to the immature cervical cells.

Nancy Merrill

And it gets worse. The night we played Whitewater, one of our five kids was playing with a sprained ankle and another one was playing with a stomach virus. So you could say we were up against it.

Merle Mullet

When we have a child infected we are giving the virus more chance to adapt to human beings, and giving it this chance could help create conditions for the emergence of a new virus.

Dr. Guenael Rodier

I have unfortunately suffered from a stomach virus for the past three weeks which has hampered my final preparation to the extent I don't believe I would be able to compete much above 60 per cent of my ability in Madrid.

Sarah Ulmer

We all know many people who have been through this reality, and how it changes them. This happens to be an area I know something about. It's a virus.

Christopher Guest

Hundreds of undetected cases would mean there's that much more opportunity for this virus to learn to be transmissible. With every case, we worry about the possibility of the virus acquiring the ability to transmit from human to human.

Scott Dowell

Software standardization is a fertile breeding ground for viruses. Writing a virus for one e-mail client can affect every company using that client.

Lev Grossman

We are worried but also confident that the virus will be stopped from spreading to poultry farms.

Thomas Janning

I pictured myself as a virus or a cancer cell and tried to sense what it would be like.

Jonas Salk

It's not a question of if but when. It may be not this strand of virus but another one down the road. Even if it's years and years before a pandemic disaster, having the governors understand how the National Guard plays a role is absolutely vital.

Paul Swiergosz

The virus is transmitted by live birds. It's not in the poultry meat and it's certainly not in eggs.

Hugh Pennington

Today I am directing state agencies to work closely with each other and local governments and to make every effort possible to prevent the spread of the West Nile virus.

Don Siegelman

Hong Kong and southern China are in an area where everything comes together. It's like the perfect storm -- animals, the virus, population density.

John Nichols

We're hoping that this sort of local immune response is going to be more effective at preventing infection with the flu virus than the kind of immune response you get with a flu shot.

John Treanor

It's certain that the virus has reached Italy.

Francesco Storace

We had a case confirmed yesterday which reaffirms there has been regular exposure of Somalia to the virus, probably from Yemen.

Bruce Aylward

A pandemic is not imminent. A pandemic is expected at some point, but recognize it could be a completely different virus.

Dr. Ned Calonge

Since different kinds of wild birds and chickens have this virus, we can be quite sure that this virus is endemic in our birds.

York Chow

[In his Sept. 12 news story] CDC Starts Difficult Task of Recording Hurricane's Effects, ... Numerous studies have shown that people infected with the AIDS virus can safely stop their drugs for a week or so with no bad results.

Joe Brown and David Brown

Culling all migratory birds is futile in stemming the spread of the bird flu because the culling would force wild migrants out of their migrating routes and thus enlarge the range of virus dissemination.

Gao Fu

All of the sudden, there was political support for the notion that inflation was not just a tax, but a virus that attacks an economy.

Harvey Rosenblum

As long as H5N1 remains a bird virus, the threat to human health is not grave. But influenza viruses change constantly, and the danger is that, in the future, it could evolve into a virus that is easily transmissible among humans.

Carissa Etienne

There is absolutely no evidence of sustained transmission of avian influenza virus between people.

Phyllis Kozarsky

In Nigeria, we do not eat raw meat like in some parts of the world. Therefore the chance of picking up any infection is quite remote. I want to assure you that in chicken, when cooked, no avian influenza virus can survive.

Dora Akunyili

This is a very nasty virus. It's doing enormous damage in the Far East at the moment, and it's got into Russia. If it got here, it would be economically disastrous, never mind the human impact, so we do need to be spending more than we have been spending.

Hugh Pennington

Traditional vaccines base their protection on the antibodies they produce against the virus, but the antibodies only protect against very, very similar strains. They don't have the capacity of covering strains if they mutate.

Dr. Suresh Mittal

Once it amplifies in poultry then you have ample opportunity for continued interaction with human populations. The maintenance and perpetuation of this virus is really through poultry.

Malik Peiris

The reason you cough is that your body is trying to mobilize mucus and break the secretions up -- your virus load. Fever, too, is part of the body's way of trying to kill viruses. They don't tolerate a high temperature.

Dr. Lyndon Mansfield

AZT has been shown to prevent transmission of the virus to unborn children. There's always a chance that HIV won't transmit and that some of those being treated might now have contracted HIV anyway, but even if women aren't compelled to take it there's no excuse not to make it available.

Christine Gorman

The risk of cerebral palsy was nearly doubled with exposure to certain herpes viruses, including the chicken-pox virus. In addition, the presence of cytomegalovirus was associated with preterm delivery in babies without cerebral palsy.

Catherine Gibson

Clearly the complainants who have been infected with the HIV virus have had a serious and devastating toll taken on their lives.

Andrew Macdonald

No local outbreaks reported and very few reports of infections. Most companies are seeing the virus at the gateway but not in large numbers ? typically a few hundred viruses are blocked.

Allan Bell

[Indonesia called for international help Friday to combat the bird flu virus that has killed six people.] We know that bird flu is a very dangerous disease, ... The virus mutates easily ... and moves very quickly across national boundaries.

Yuri Thamrin

By reducing the number of plasmids, we increase the efficiency of virus production.

Yoshihiro Kawaoka

The CIA did contact the disease agency recently after a London newspaper published a book review six months ago. The book ... said that Saddam Hussein wanted to use the virus.

Barbara Reynolds

If we catch it in time, the virus can be treated with drugs that cure 40-80-per cent of those infected. We have no time to lose.

William Rosenberg

I'm going to crank that thing on up out there. You can't control it. It's a Campbell virus.

Kelly Campbell

We are considering doing virus scanning on all incoming e-mail.

Ron Krantz

These files are needed in order to load your machine. So after the virus runs on your machine, you can no longer boot it up.

Jimmy Kuo

In the way of virus protection and security, I keep my laptop updated. I download Windows updates and use Norton [Virus Protection].

Chris Elder

And what we have now, almost certainly we think, is sick chickens who are showing no symptoms, and that is very, very bad. They are silent carriers of the virus.

Peter Cordingley

The idea is simple. The fear is that the bird virus will re-assort with a human virus and generate a pandemic human flu. If you vaccinate against human influenza, they can't catch it, so you won't get re-assortment.

Daniel Perez

If that's true, we still have time to monitor the key genetic changes that would enable (the H5N1 virus) to spread in humans.

Dr. Robert B. Belshe

This is good news for children everywhere. Development of a safe and effective rotavirus vaccine has been a worldwide priority since the virus was discovered in the 1970s.

David Matson

By the time we leave here, we must all have a clear understanding of what needs to be done to enable us to contain a virus with pandemic potential.

Dr. Shigeru Omi

Spraying isn't going to make the virus go away. At best, it will reduce the risk somewhat.

Durland Fish

An analysis of bird migration routes has shown that in autumn 2005...the H5N1 virus may be spread from Western Siberia to the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.

Gennady Onishchenko

Install virus protection software. The second thing you have to do is keep it up to date. Have your virus definitions updated daily.

Mike Turpin

Those are encouraging signs, that's for sure. We see light at the end of the tunnel, but with this virus, we still can't be certain. We stay cautious, hoping she'll be recovered before the Olympics start.

Carlos Rodriguez

The FAO believes that eliminating avian influenza among poultry can delay H5N1 virus turning into a form that would create a human pandemic.

Serge Verniau

The data indicates that the virus is being transmitted efficiently from dog to dog, and this indicates that the equine virus was transmitted to dogs and is now well established in the dog population.

Ruben Donis

If we can reduce the presence of the virus, we will reduce the probability of a human pandemic.

Bernard Vallat

The bird flu virus has arrived in Italy.

Francesco Storace

The disease is not caused by bird flu or any other flu virus.

Turan Buzgan

I try to stay away from the politics of AIDS. But the people have to know that HIV does lead to the AIDS virus and education will make a huge difference.

Phil Lilienthal

If parents don't vaccinate their child, then you have 3 per thousand risk of death if they get measles. But they may not get measles if everyone around them is vaccinated because the virus is not going to be around them.

Dr Balaji Sadasivan

With all the new technology and drugs we have today, there is no reason why our children continue to be devastated by the virus.

Charles Fisher

The (anti-virus) system worked, which was quite a relief.

Mary Kelly

There are no viruses that spread without handset users actively accepting the installation. If a virus like this turns up soon, the market for mobile security solutions would change radically.

Risto Siilasmaa

[The virus in the dead woman] seems like a virus that has gone directly from birds, ... reassuring for all of us.

Georg Petersen

These measures are not an issue of human health but are designed to prevent the spread of the virus in livestock.

Nick Brown

Well, I think it definitely concerns me because of the age of the residents there. You don't want to run the risk of them getting too sick as a result of some virus going around.

Mike Roy

Once you get the plasmids inside the cell, the virus assembles itself. It only takes a couple of days.

Terrence Tumpey

Science is publishing this study because it provides information necessary for developing drugs and vaccines that could help prevent another global flu pandemic. We carefully considered the implications of publishing this research and concluded that the knowledge we're gaining to potentially protect public health far outweighs the risk of working with this virus.

Donald Kennedy

We're speculating on something I don't know the answer to. We just don't know that, because we haven't established that there is that transmission. But it is unlikely that you would be standing around a chicken and get the influenza virus that way.

Keiji Fukuda

The decision sends a message that in respect to people who are infected with the HIV virus, that it is an aggravated sexual assault for them to have unprotected sexual intercourse with a woman without disclosing ? or with a man for that matter ? without disclosing the fact that they are HIV positive.

Andrew Macdonald

We know that about .15 percent of waterfowl sampled will actually have live virus and be symptomatic. That's really important because we know they can actually carry the virus.

Peter Marra

The virus may be spreading despite the control measures already taken. Far more human and animal exposure to the virus will occur if strict containment does not isolate all known and unknown locations where the bird flu virus is currently present.

Juan Lubroth

There was an extensive discussion on the possibility of the disease spreading into the EU via migratory birds that might pose a risk of spreading the virus. The group concluded that the immediate risk is probably remote or low.

Philip Tod

We carefully considered the implications of publishing this research and concluded that the knowledge we're gaining to potentially protect public health far outweighs the risk of working with the virus.

Donald Kennedy

The euro could easily break down to $1.1360 if it mutates across the human-to-human barrier to a human virus.

Craig Russell

It is essential that computers are protected from unauthorized access by remote hackers. All computer users need to patch against these flaws in Microsoft's software as quickly as possible, before hackers and virus writers try and take advantage of them.

Ron O'brien

Thousands of people die every year because of the flu. The problem is the virus changes ... so we're playing a chess game ... We now have the team, we have the technologies. I think we can tackle this problem.

Nicholas Tsinoremas

Only when a pandemic virus strain develops will a vaccine be created, and it will not take long - only about a month.

Mikhail Zurabov

In the winter, the virus can survive longer outside its own host ... so we expect more cases, especially in this part of the world.

Henk Bekedam

Any change or subtle change in the epidemiology of the virus or larger clusters -- as a virologist, you do get very nervous.

Lance Jennings

There's no need to pull your child from school. The likelihood of (the recent infected person) communicating the virus is pretty minimal.

Rodger Amon

The kids were giving the hepatitis A virus to mom, dad and Uncle Tom. And so if they didn't get the disease, the parents were protected.

Dr. William Schaffner

The clock keeps ticking. Every time this virus replicates, it makes mistakes, ... Sooner or later it will make the mistakes that will allow it to go human to human.

Robert Webster

What we've done is we've closed the units to outside visitors in an effort to contain the spread of the virus.

Joe Gillis

A sobering finding ... it tells us you still have to worry about this, but you have to worry about something else too, because somehow, somewhere, the virus is coming from a place that we haven't yet identified.

Anthony S. Fauci

We're going to see some virus activity there that takes advantage of that. I think we'll also start to see more companies recognizing that they need to put security solutions in place.

Andrew Lochart

It's a killed virus, an inactivated virus, so anyone who participates in our trial would not have any chance of coming down with the flu.

Sally Mackey

The risk is going to be extremely low compared to the very real risk of West Nile virus.

Arthur Craigmill

We are seeing less of the big virus outbreaks such as Sasser and Blaster, and so some people believe the situation is getting better, when in fact it is getting worse. The bad boys are getting more professional and doing more targeted attacks.

Mikko Hypponen

I don't think anybody believes that [with] an infected horse or an infected dog, a mosquito that feeds on those animals is going to pick up the virus, there's just too little of it there.

Richard Bowen

The influenza pandemic of 1918 may well be the greatest scourge ever to afflict humanity, exacting a death toll greater than all the wars of the 20th Century combined. The virus that wreaked this havoc apparently developed in birds, and then jumped to people. In other words, it was avian flu.

David L. Katz

One was a regular virus like we have seen in poultry in Turkey before.

Ruben Donis

She has a stomach virus and is dehydrated.

Van Chancellor

We didn't get serious about security early enough. The Internet carefully delivers that virus to your door because its job is to deliver packets and not to inquire whether the application is good for you. The 'Net by itself is doing what it should do, but we don't have intrinsic integrity and authentication. We didn't do that way back when, and it should have been done.

Scott Bradner

But with so many new sites per day over (in Britain), which means on our doorstep, the risk remains great: wind, thousands of tourists or trucks which cross the Channel every day can carry the virus to us.

Jean Glavany

I think part of it is that people worked really hard to update their anti-virus. The anti-virus definitions have been available for two weeks, and, with the attention this has been getting, people just made sure they were up-to-date for it.

Steve Sundermeier

Some of the areas that we see as really hot are internal and external IT network security. Companies want to get their arms around issues like spam and the latest virus definitions. They are also looking for highly specialized security skills at the network infrastructure level.

Jeff Markham

If you have a virus on the system that's generating results, you have to shut down the servers. You have to shut down the competition, and the international federation is going to be really upset.

Yan Noblot

The virus may be spreading despite the control measures already taken.

Juan Lubroth

Pet owners need to watch for clinical signs of respiratory problems and see their veterinarians if they spot any of the usual signs of a virus, such as runny eyes and nose or cough. Common viruses other than the flu can cause these signs in dogs, cats and birds. Many can be managed successfully in adult pets with proper supportive care.

Lorraine Corriveau

Effectively, what this allows us is the ability of designing our drug today in a manner that, with high levels of certainty, would be active against a virus that emerges tomorrow.

The system will hide its own process, but does not appear to hide any files or registry entries. This makes the feature a bit less dangerous, as anti-virus products will still be able to scan all files on the disk.

It has been a two-month process, one in which we learned a great deal about this virus. We hope this knowledge will help us in the future should (future outbreaks) occur. We are relieved to have the situation behind us. I would think this would act as a catalyst to open the borders of the surrounding states, but those decisions will have to be made by the veterinarian in those jurisdictions.

We may see more than the two cases of West Nile virus we had last year, ... It is important that people know there are simple things they can do to prevent getting the disease.

Nancy Bowen

If we have birds bringing this in from Asia sit down on a water body, other species of birds that don't interact directly with Asia may also use that water body and pick up a virus.

Matt Robus

This is just the first step in trying to reduce the vector that carries West Nile virus.

Brian Moss

He wasn't on our anti-virus radar until Thursday. That suggests to us he probably didn't write viruses until now.

When you had chicken pox, the virus didn't go away. It went up and went to sleep in the nerve cells that allow you to feel in your skin.

Michael Oxman

Gene delivery is complicated because it's difficult for us to know how to change the properties of the virus. So, in this study, we did it the same way nature does it. By using random mutation, we were able to get about 10 million different variants. Now, we have a lot of versions of the virus to choose from. And we've selected about a half dozen of them that we are focusing on.
