Current Headlines: Indonesia announced three more human deaths from bird flu yesterday, a day after it agreed to resume sending virus samples to international researchers on condition they would not be made freely available to commercial vaccine makers.

Indonesia, the nation hardest hit by the H5N1 bird flu virus, had stopped sharing samples with the World Health Organisation because it feared they would be used to develop vaccines unaffordable for poor nations in a pandemic.
