Health Minister Juan Luis Manzur, announcing in minutes that scientists at the Institute Malbrán and decode the genome of influenza A viruses circulating in Argentina.

According to sources ahead of the portfolio lanacion.com health, genetic code differs from that circulated in Mexico and United States

It's the preliminary step to develop the vaccine, as detailed the minister of Science and Technology, Lino Barañao days ago, in charge of national laboratories.

"It is calling for domestic companies to develop a vaccine to be applied in 2010 and this year does not make sense to have it because the epidemic is in decline," he said last week Barañao.
