Scientists combine bird and swine flus to create mutant airborne virus
Researchers in China have created a batch of designer viruses by selectively combining genes from the H5N1 bird flu virus with those of the H1N1 swine flu strain. This reassortment process — which can happen naturally in nature — resulted in several hybridized strains that were able spread through the air and infect mammals.

Potpora članovima Hrvatskog mikrobiološkog društva tijekom 2013. godine
U sklopu Godišnje skupštine HMD-a, koja je održana 15. veljače 2013. godine u Zagrebu, usvojen je i proračun Društva za ovu godinu. U njemu je predviđena i financijska potpora članovima HMD-a za aktivno sudjelovanje na skupovima i manje studijske boravke. Riječ je o potpori koju mogu zatražiti kolegice i kolege nakon što su iscrpili sve druge mogućnosti financiranja svog sudjelovanja na skupu ili kraće posjete nekom istraživačkom laboratoriju u zemlji ili inozemstvu.

Microbes: Small, Small World
Microbes in your body outnumber your cells by ten to one and can weigh as much as or more than your brain. Photographed here with a microscope, the human mouth hosts an array of microbes.
Izdavaštvo
Veterinarska klinička imunologija
Iako je riječ o sveučilišnom udžbeniku, knjiga je po svom sadržaju i opsegu namijenjena i kolegama veterinarima koji rade u praksi, ponajprije onima koji se u svagdašnjem radu bave tzv. malom praksom.

Cilj Društva je okupljanje mikrobiologa i stručnjaka srodnih struka s ciljem unapređenja svih grana mikrobiologije.
Skupovi HMD-a
Power of Microbes in Industry and Environment 2013
Date: 9th to 12th, October 2013
Venue: Primošten, Croatia
This symposium which covers practically all topics of applied microbiology is already the fourth in a row, starting with the meeting in Opatija in 2002 and followed by the symposia in Zadar in 2007 and Malinska (island Krk) in 2010. Like the previous meetings, the one next year will be organized by the Croatian Microbiological Society and co-organized by several other European microbiological societies, promoting the collaboration among microbiologists in Central Europe and broader. The experience of the past meetings motivated our efforts to continue with this series with a clear tendency to include new societies and strengthen the scientific connections among research groups of neighboring countries.
