World-leading research and innovation – right in the heart of Canada.
The USask Signature Series explores the cutting-edge research taking place at the University of Saskatchewan across the university’s Signature Areas of Research.
While avian flu and cattle flu aren’t quite the same as the flu we’re used to as humans, they can have deadly consequences for wild and farmed birds and long-term effects on our cows that we’re only just beginning to explore.
Dr. Bryce Warner (PhD) and Dr. Antonio Facciuolo (PhD) are flu experts and research scientists at at USask’s Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO). Warner is also an adjunct professor at the College of Medicine, and Facciuolo is an adjunct professor at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine.
They research infectious diseases, viruses and vaccines. And both acknowledge that while the chance of a human actually catching bird or cattle flu is low, they can still pose a danger and should be taken very seriously.
On this episode of the USask Signature Series podcast, we answer the question: “Why should humans care about bird and cattle flu?”
