Cross-protection between antigenically distinct H1N1 swine influenza viruses from Europe and North America [PDF]
Background An avian-like H1N1 swine influenza virus (SIV) is enzootic in swine populations of Western Europe. The virus is antigenically distinct from H1N1 SIVs in North America that have a classical swine virus-lineage H1 hemagglutinin, as does the ...

Increased public health threat of avian-origin H3N2 influenza virus caused by its evolution in dogs
Influenza A viruses in animal reservoirs repeatedly cross species barriers to infect humans. Dogs are the closest companion animals to humans, but the role of dogs in the ecology of influenza viruses is unclear.

Long-lasting cross-protection against influenza A by neuraminidase and M2e-based immunization strategies [PDF]
There is mounting evidence that in the absence of neutralizing antibodies cross-reactive T cells provide protection against pandemic influenza viruses. Here, we compared protection and CD8+ T cell responses following challenge with H1N1 2009 pandemic and

Evolutionary Conservation of the PA-X Open Reading Frame in Segment 3 of Influenza A Virus [PDF]
PA-X is a fusion protein of influenza A virus encoded in part from a +1 frameshifted X open reading frame (X-ORF) in segment 3. We show that the X-ORFs of diverse influenza A viruses can be divided into two groups that differ in selection pressure and ...

Experimental infection of dogs with H3N2 canine influenza virus from China
SUMMARYCanine influenza virus (CIV) is an emerging pathogen that causes acute respiratory disease in dogs. The aim of this study was to investigate the pathogenicity of A/canine/Jiangsu/06/2010 (H3N2) virus isolated in China. Nine dogs were inoculated intranasally with 107·95 of 50% egg infectious dose (EID50) of the virus.

Human rapid influenza diagnostic test: efficacy and significance for using in animal
Rapid influenza diagnostic tests (RIDTs) could considerably assist in clinical management resolving outbreaks of diseases in humans and animals. The RIDT for animals is rarely available and considerably expensive, especially in Thailand. In this

Identification of the IFN-β response in H3N2 canine influenza virus infection
Canine influenza viruses (CIVs) circulate continuously in the dog population, providing opportunities for exposure to humans and other species. Although the dog genome has been sequenced, innate immunity in dogs is not well characterized, which limits the understanding of H3N2 canine influenza virus pathogenesis.

Generation of a Reassortant Influenza A Subtype H3N2 Virus Expressing Gaussia Luciferase
Reporter influenza A viruses (IAVs) carrying fluorescent or luminescent genes provide a powerful tool for both basic and translational research. Most reporter IAVs are based on the backbone of either subtype H1N1 viruses, A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 (PR8) or A ...

Orthomyxo-, paramyxo- and flavivirus infections in wild waterfowl in Finland [PDF]
Background Screening wild birds for viral pathogens has become increasingly important. We tested a screening approach based on blood and cloacal and tracheal swabs collected by hunters to study the prevalence of influenza A, paramyxo-, flavi-, and ...
