A new anti-flu nasal spray could help protect against all strains of the virus - including bird flu and swine flu.
Researchers say the spray combats new drug resistant strains of the flu virus by stopping them in the early stages.
Scientists believe their discovery could be used as a ?frontline defence? against the virus before an effective vaccine is developed.
The spray works by coating the respiratory tract with proteins that prevent the flu virus from bonding with sugar molecules that line it.
The flu virus is difficult to fight because it can ?evolve? and learn to protect itself against anti-flu drugs quickly.
