Not a very nice topic but It could be very realistic. Just wanted to know If anyone had any ideas on which BIO companys and others could benefit from this if indeed we get the blessed germ in this Country.

Acambis and Biotrace perhaphs???????????????????????.

Whats Your thoughts?????????????????????????

cheers GF.

gf,

Just taken a look at those two co's. ETQ...........OUCH!!! -Put it on my watchlist anyway.

HCEG looks good though. -Tempted there.

Tristel (recent float) went up 3p to 53p today.
They specialize in infection control in hospitals.
Worth a look ??

cheers GF.

ADVFN has very good info in HCEG worth a visit. Thanks to Intek

Stringy, When I mentioned ETQ as a possible beneficiary it did come with a warning; the current mgt. do not have a great track record for capitalising on good ideas. Although I remain a shareholder I do so only because the co. is underpinned to an extent by the Thchenquiz family trust (Triandra) and in the hope that they would do something with the co. rather than let it go bust if only to protect their investment. It's a real long odds one, but then at its current sp it isn't even option money if you buy into it not being allowed to go bust by its current backers.

Thanks sharesure.

Worth me keeping an eye on anyway so I will keep ETQ on my watchlist.

Hope your luck turns with that one.

Radio 4 right now! on Bird Flu.

Well Stan , its a lot more serious than you thought isnt it?.

cheers GF.

No It Is not GF.

It's been hyped up by the media and nothing more.

I thought It was a very well balanced programme and If you did miss It and are Interested In the subject you can listen again for the next 7 days on the net by going onto the BBC Radio website and get a link from there.

Tests show bird flu is H5N1 virus (Suffolk)

"The European Commission says tests have confirmed that the avian flu which killed 2,600 turkeys at a Suffolk farm is the H5N1 virus."

Baked spuds for next Christmas dinner then.

Never mind Bernard you have had a good run.

Announced last June; when people realise could bring a turnaround in share price. eps c4p last time so low p/e and divvy as well. Solid recent trading update.

BXP:
Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited (the 'Company'), the Bangladeshi pharmaceuticals
company which listed on AIM last year, today announces that it has launched
Oseflu in Myanmar for the prevention and treatment of human cases of avian
influenza (H5N1) causing bird flu.

Myanmar, which neighbours Bangladesh and has a population of over 42 million,
confirmed its first case of avian flu in March 2006. The Company will soon be
exporting approximately 2,000 doses of the drug to Myanmar to help combat
reported outbreaks of avian flu throughout the country.

The Company is also in the process of registering Oseflu in other countries
affected by avian flu.

Commenting on the product launch Nazmul Hassan, Chief Executive of Beximco
Pharmaceuticals, said:

'Avian flu is clearly a major disease threat in developing countries such as
Myanmar and we are pleased today to be able to supply Oseflu to combat this
threat. We shall be registering Oseflu in other countries in the near future to
try and limit the spread of this disease.'

Yep Hawick, I was going to post more or less the same.

I have a small holding here but its not just because of the threat of Bird Flu, I think the company is fundamentally far too cheap, there are risks with this one but its certainly worth doing research on the company.

I beleive its hit a 52 week low in the last few days aswell, so this may be an entry point for some.
