Some poxviruses are very attractive as transgenic vaccine vectors for humans, domestic animals and wildlife. Poxviridae family members circulate in different ecosystems and parts of the world, providing a pool of possible recombination partners for released or escaped genetically modified poxviruses. […]
Nontarget risk assessment for transgenic crops should be case-specific, depending on the plant, the transgene, and the intended release environment. […]
Showing that a genetically modified food is chemically similar to its natural counterpart is not adequate evidence that it is safe for human consumption. […]

When genetically modified soya came on the scene it seemed like a heaven-sent solution to Argentina’s agricultural problems. Now soya is being blamed for an environmental crisis that is threatening the country’s fragile economic recovery. Sue Branford d […]
The case for fixing a date for destruction of smallpox virus stocks is stronger than ever. For the first time since 2011, the World Health Assembly (WHA) will undertake a substantive consideration of destruction of smallpox virus stocks when it meets […]
