The findings presented a modified variant of the H5N1 avian influenza virus (hereafter referred to as the H5N1 virus) that was transmissible via aerosol between ferrets. These results suggested a worrisome possibility: the existence of a new airborne and highly lethal H5N1 virus that could cause a deadly global pandemic. In response, a series of international discussions on the nature of dual-use life science arose. These discussions addressed the complex social, technical, political, security, and ethical issues related to dual-use research. This Research Topic will be devoted to contributions that explore this matrix of issues from a variety of case study and international perspectives.Social Welfare & Social Work - GeneralHILCCSocial Welfare & Social WorkHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCH5N1biosecuritySynthetic BiologyPublic HealthDual Useavian influenzaBioterrorismSocial Welfare & Social Work - GeneralSocial Welfare & Social WorkSocial Sciences570Jonathan E Sukauth1366020Ozin Amanda JaneSuk Jonathan EVogel Kathleen MPQKBUkMaJRU9910136279103321Dual-use life science research and biosecurity in the 21st century3388470UNINA
