Health Security: A Concept in Search of a Purpose

open access: yesWorld Medical &Health Policy, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Although the term “health security” is continuously gaining prominence and there are increasing calls to “strengthen” it, the term remains conceptually ambiguous. This ambiguity creates uncertainty about exactly what is being advanced in policy and practice when health security is invoked, and what consequences this has for priority‐setting in

Concurrent Acquisition of a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in Diverse Influenza H5N1 Clade 2.2 Sub-clades [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Highly pathogenic Influenza A H5N1 was first identified in Guangdong Province in 1996, followed by human cases in Hong Kong in 1997. The number of confirmed human cases now exceeds 300, and the associated Case Fatality Rate exceeds 60%.

Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 225, Issue 1, September 2026.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

Discordant correlation between serological assays observed when measuring heterosubtypic responses against avian influenza H5 and H7 viruses in unexposed individuals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The human population is constantly exposed to multiple influenza A subtypes due to zoonotic spill over and rapid viral evolution driven by intrinsic error-prone replication and immunological pressure.

What Antibody Repertoires See: Structural and Immunogenetic Insights Into Influenza A Virus Hemagglutinin Recognition

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, Volume 342, Issue 1, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Human infection with or vaccination against influenza A virus has been one of the most informative systems for understanding how human antibody repertoires recognize viral glycoproteins. Decades of antibody isolation, repertoire sequencing, lineage tracing, serology, viral antigenic evolution, and structural biology have shown that antibody ...

Epidemiology of the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 in Northern Vietnam: Applications for surveillance and control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The epidemiology and the sanitary situation of avian influenza changed dramatically with the emergence of the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus (HPAI) in 1996. As a consequence, knowledge previously accumulated on the epidemiology and the ecology of the avian

Avian, inter-pandemic, and pandemic influenza in Vietnam [PDF]

open access: yes
The burden and behaviour of influenza in Southeast Asia is poorly characterised, leading to uncertainty about the importance of influenza as a local health problem and the role of Southeast Asia in the global epidemiology of influenza.

Llama-Derived Single Domain Antibodies to Build Multivalent, Superpotent and Broadened Neutralizing Anti-Viral Molecules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
For efficient prevention of viral infections and cross protection, simultaneous targeting of multiple viral epitopes is a powerful strategy. Llama heavy chain antibody fragments (VHH) against the trimeric envelope proteins of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (

Testing of apathogenic influenza virus H5N3 as a poultry live vaccine

open access: yesВопросы вирусологии, 2015
Four H5N2 experimental vaccine strains and the apathogenic wild duck H5N3 influenza virus A/duck/ Moscow/4182/2010 (dk/4182) were tested as a live poultry vaccine.

The pandemic threat of an Avian Influenza Virus: An overview

open access: yesJournal of Zoonotic Diseases
The worst pandemic in modern history occurred during the 1918 H1N1 Spanish Influenza epidemic. Two additional instances of influenza A (H5N1) viral infection in humans have been disclosed to WHO in the West Pacific Zone between July 12 and July 18 ...
