Nous ne sommes pas toutes et tous égaux face à la #grippe. Le magazine @Sciences_Avenir revient sur une récente étude publiée par le laboratoire de @ViralExplorers menée @EPFL. sciencesetavenir.fr/sante/po…]

On sait enfin pourquoi la grippe est plus contagieuse chez certaines personnes

Chez certaines personnes, la grippe se transmettrait plus que chez d'autres à cause des bactéries présentes dans les voies respiratoires, selon une récente étude publiée par l'Ecole Polytechnique...
