NOVOSIBIRSK, October 20 - RIA Novosti, Mary Horn. Siberian scientists have discovered that in male mice, pheromones are sensed females are 30 times more resistant to influenza virus H1N1,
that opens up the prospect of creating new and effective means of preventing SARS to humans,
said Thursday RIA Novosti department head gene pool of experimental animals of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS Mikhail Moshkin.
"Experiments have shown that male mice that received chemosignals (olfactory) of mature females, lethal dose of H1N1 flu virus is 30 times higher than for those
who has been isolated from females' - said Moshkin.
He explained that during sexual intercourse is an active exchange of bacteria and viruses, including pathogens and respiratory infections.
And the results suggest that signal the possibility of sex 'include' protective functions in the body of the male.
That said Moshkin, a new example of the so-called signal adaptation.
