Ames center probes bird flu cow infections and vaccines
The Ames facility on a 523 acre campus near downtown Ames is a high containment center with 93 buildings and a $38 million budget where researchers study bird flu and cow infections. They test cow to cow transmission, race to develop vaccines, and assess how the virus spreads through milk and milking equipment, with preliminary results expected soon. Researchers like Baker and Webby emphasize the center's unique capacity and the long path ahead for effective vaccines and understanding virus dynamics in animals and potential human links.
