Substitutions near the hemagglutinin receptor-binding site determine the antigenic evolution of influenza A H3N2 viruses in U.S. swine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Swine influenza A virus is an endemic and economically important pathogen in pigs, with the potential to infect other host species. The hemagglutinin (HA) protein is the primary target of protective immune responses and the major component in swine ...

Influenza vaccination in coronavirus times: Primary Care professionals’ intention to get vaccinated in Central Catalonia (VAGCOVID). A cross sectional study

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2022
Influenza vaccination is the main measure of prevention against epidemic flu. Although recommended, vaccination coverage remains low. The lack of knowledge about the evolution of influenza in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic led to the ...

Evaluation of Nowcasting for Detecting and Predicting Local Influenza Epidemics, Sweden, 2009–2014

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
The growing availability of big data in healthcare and public health opens possibilities for infectious disease control in local settings. We prospectively evaluated a method for integrated local detection and prediction (nowcasting) of influenza ...

Canalization of the evolutionary trajectory of the human influenza virus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Since its emergence in 1968, influenza A (H3N2) has evolved extensively in genotype and antigenic phenotype. Antigenic evolution occurs in the context of a two-dimensional 'antigenic map', while genetic evolution shows a characteristic ladder-like ...

Avian Influenza Virus Infections in Humans [PDF]

open access: yesChest, 2006
Seroepidemiologic and virologic studies since 1889 suggested that human influenza pandemics were caused by H1, H2, and H3 subtypes of influenza A viruses. If not for the 1997 avian A/H5N1 outbreak in Hong Kong of China, subtype H2 is the likely candidate for the next pandemic.

Incidence of Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 Infection, United Kingdom, 2009–2011

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
We conducted a longitudinal community cohort study of healthy adults in the UK. We found significantly higher incidence of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 infection in 2010–11 than in 2009–10, a substantial proportion of subclinical infection, and higher risk for

One-way trip: Influenza virus' adaptation to gallinaceous poultry may limit its pandemic potential [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We hypothesise that some influenza virus adaptations to poultry may explain why the barrier for human-to-human transmission is not easily overcome once the virus has crossed from wild birds to chickens.

Trends of influenza B during the 2010–2016 seasons in 2 regions of north and south Italy: The impact of the vaccine mismatch on influenza immunisation strategy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Influenza A and B viruses are responsible for respiratory infections, representing globally seasonal threats to human health. The 2 viral types often co-circulate and influenza B plays an important role in the spread of infection.

Human Genes and Influenza [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2008
Why some individuals resist infection or recover quickly, whereas others experience severe disease associated with infection, is a fundamental question that medicine has struggled to answer. Pathogens and host immune factors have been extensively investigated for many infectious diseases, to address these questions.
