Pathogenesis of swine influenza virus (Thai isolates) in weanling pigs: an experimental trial
Background The objective of this study is to investigate the pathogenesis of swine influenza virus (SIV) subtype H1N1 and H3N2 (Thai isolates) in 22-day-old SPF pigs. Results The study found that all pigs in the infected groups developed typical signs of

Complement-Independent Modulation of Influenza A Virus Infection by Factor H
The complement system is an ancient innate immune defense mechanism that can recognize molecular patterns on the invading pathogens. Factor H, as an inhibitor of the alternative pathway, down-regulates complement activation on the host cell surface ...

Isolation and Characterization of H1 Subtype Swine Influenza Viruses Recently Circulating in China
Pigs serve as a mixing vessel for influenza viruses and can independently promote the emergence of pandemic strains in humans. During our surveillance of pig populations from 2021 to 2023 in China, 11 H1 subtype swine influenza viruses (SIVs) were ...

Mouse Models of Influenza Infection with Circulating Strains to Test Seasonal Vaccine Efficacy
Influenza virus infection is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The surface antigens of influenza virus change over time blunting both naturally acquired and vaccine induced adaptive immune protection.

ABSTRACT Zoonotic infections caused by influenza A viruses (IAVs) of animal origin are a major public health concern, as they may represent the initial step toward the emergence of a pandemic strain. The host range of IAVs is shaped by species‐specific virus‐host interactions, and several host barriers have been identified that restrict the adaptation ...

Competitive SELEX Strategy for High‐Affinity Aptamer Isolation and Enhanced Biosensing
A novel competitive SELEX strategy was developed to isolate high‐affinity aptamers by using a lower‐affinity competitor during the selection process. This approach enabled the identification of an aptamer with exceptional binding affinity, significantly improving target detection sensitivity.

Use of cumulative incidence of novel influenza A/H1N1 in foreign travelers to estimate lower bounds on cumulative incidence in Mexico [PDF]
Background: An accurate estimate of the total number of cases and severity of illness of an emerging infectious disease is required both to define the burden of the epidemic and to determine the severity of disease. When a novel pathogen first appears,
