New research project to study protection against future influenza epidemics
The influenza drug Tamiflu is a potent and important defense against future influenza epidemics. Recently, however, increased resistance to this important drug is being seen. The Swedish Research Council FORMAS has now granted SEK 5.9 million to a new research project that is to examine the development of resistance in influenza virus and how the drug Tamiflu behaves in the environment.
