A Review on Equine Influenza from a Human Influenza Perspective [PDF]
Viruses, 2022 Influenza A viruses (IAVs) have a main natural reservoir in wild birds. IAVs are highly contagious, continually evolve, and have a wide host range that includes various mammalian species including horses, pigs, and humans. Furthering our understanding of host-pathogen interactions and cross-species transmissions is therefore essential.

Human Influenza Epidemiology [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2020 Influenza virus infections are common in people of all ages. Epidemics occur in the winter months in temperate locations and at varying times of the year in subtropical and tropical locations. Most influenza virus infections cause mild and self-limiting disease, and around one-half of all infections occur with a fever.

The human side of influenza [PDF]
Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 2012 Abstract Review of immunity to influenza virus infection in humans, noting evidence from murine studies and suggesting directions in which future research is most needed. A clear understanding of immunity in individuals infected with influenza virus is critical for the design of effective vaccination and treatment ...

Immunity to Influenza Infection in Humans [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2019 This review discusses the human immune responses to influenza infection with some insights from studies using animal models, such as experimental infection of mice. Recent technological advances in the study of human immune responses have greatly added to our knowledge of the infection and immune responses, and therefore much of the focus is on recent ...

Pathology of human influenza revisited [PDF]
Vaccine, 2008 The pathology of human influenza has been studied most intensively during the three pandemics of the last century, the last of which occurred in 1968. It is important to revisit this subject because of the recent emergence of avian H5N1 influenza in humans as well as the threat of a new pandemic.

Human Genes and Influenza [PDF]
The 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.

Human Influenza Virus Infections [PDF]
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2016 Seasonal and pandemic influenza are the two faces of respiratory infections caused by influenza viruses in humans. As seasonal influenza occurs on an annual basis, the circulating virus strains are closely monitored and a yearly updated vaccination is provided, especially to identified risk populations. Nonetheless, influenza virus infection may result

The evolution of human influenza viruses [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001 The evolution of influenza viruses results in (i) recurrent annual epidemics of disease that are caused by progressive antigenic drift of influenza A and B viruses due to the mutability of the RNA genome and (ii) infrequent but severe pandemics caused by the emergence of novel influenza A subtypes to which the population has little immunity. The latter
