	Avian Influenza in Alaska
		Alaska is at the overlap for parts of the Asian and North American flyways for migratory birds which scientists say could provide an opportunity for exchange of bird flu viruses which then could lead to the evolution of new strains of viruses that could infect humans.
		Scientists at the University of Alaska Fairbanks formed the Avian Influenza Program to study the evolution and assess the prevalence of the many different avian influenza viruses in Alaska, including the highly disease-causing (pathogenic), H5N1 Asian subtype, in migratory birds.
		Alaska's samples are being screened by Jeffrey Taubenberger the scientist who extracted and pieced together the viral genes from a lung-tissue sample obtained from a woman who had died in Brevig Mission, Alaska.

	Permafrost Preserves Clues to Deadly 1918 Flu, Alaska Science Forum
		Through a series of events suited to a detective novel, researchers made a connection between Brevig Mission and the flu virus that may help prevent another outbreak of the 1918 flu, one of the worst epidemics ever experienced.
		Johan Hultin made it a personal mission to find a sample of the 1918 virus he calls "the most lethal organism in the history of man." A native of Sweden, Hultin was studying microbiology at the University of Iowa in 1949.
		Hultin looked at an Alaska permafrost map and selected Brevig Mission as a place that met the requirements of massive flu mortality and frozen ground that might have preserved bodies.

		Alaska is at the overlap of the Asian and North American flyways for migratory birds.
		The screening at AFIP is being conducted by Jeffrey Taubenberger, the scientist who extracted and pieced together the viral genes from a lung-tissue sample obtained from a woman who died in Brevig Mission, Alaska, when influenza swept through the village in 1918, killing a handful of people.
