GENEVA, Switzerland - Yoshihiro Kawaoka (L), a professor of the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Tokyo, and Masato Tashiro from Japan's National Institute of Infectious Diseases, hold a press conference in Geneva on Feb. 17, 2012. The World Health Organization recommended the same day that two reports on avian flu studies by Japanese and European researchers, including one by the University of Tokyo institute, be published in full. A U.S. government panel had called on two leading scientific journals not to print them completely over fears that detailed information about the lethal virus could be used in bioterrorism. Kawaoka called the WHO recommendation a ''reasonable conclusion.''
