Scientists who took milk with the highly pathogenic avian influenza and pasteurized it found that detectable amounts of the influenza remained after the heat treatment was applied, according to a study published on June 14.
Vincent Munster, a scientist with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and other researchers said the results point to a need for further research on the influenza, also known as the bird flu or H5N1, and milk.
