Safety and immunogenicity of AS03B adjuvanted split virion versus non-adjuvanted whole virion H1N1 influenza vaccine in UK children aged 6 months-12 years: open label, randomised, parallel group, multicentre study [PDF]
Objectives: To compare the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of an adjuvanted split virion H1N1 vaccine and a non-adjuvanted whole virion vaccine used in the pandemic immunisation programme in the United Kingdom.

Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 Virus among Healthy Show Pigs, United States
Within 5 months after the earliest detection of human influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus, we found molecular and culture evidence of the virus in healthy US show pigs. The mixing of humans and pigs at swine shows possibly could further the geographic and cross-species spread of influenza A viruses.

Antiviral Resistance in Influenza: Clinical and Public Health Implications
ABSTRACT Timely antiviral treatment and prevention can diminish the morbidity and mortality caused by influenza seasonal, zoonotic, and pandemic infections. However, the emergence of antiviral resistance threatens the utility of available agents and sometimes contributes to poor clinical outcomes.

Respiratory and systematic humoral and cellular immune response of pigs to a heterosubtypic influenza A virus infection [PDF]
The level of heterosubtypic immunity (Het-I) and the immune mechanisms stimulated by a heterosubtypic influenza virus infection were investigated in pigs. Pigs are natural hosts for influenza virus and, like humans, they host both subtypes H1N1 and H3N2.

Detecting Influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 Virus Infection Using Immunochromatographic Assay
To the Editor, The recent paper entitled “Development of a specific and rapid diagnostic method for detecting influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 virus infection using immunochromatographic assay” by Ji et al [1] is very interesting. Ji et al [1] concluded that “the proposed method can be easily used for rapid and specific detection of the pdm09 infection.” To

ABSTRACT Introduction Swine may act as ‘epidemiological bridges’ and reservoirs for the emergence of novel zoonotic influenza viruses with pandemic potential. While bidirectional exchange of influenza A viruses at the swine–human interface is well recognised, data on the extent of interspecies transmission are limited.

Active Surveillance for Influenza A Virus among Swine, Midwestern United States, 2009–2011
Veterinary diagnostic laboratories identify and characterize influenza A viruses primarily through passive surveillance. However, additional surveillance programs are needed.

An empirical approach towards the efficient and optimal production of influenza-neutralizing ovine polyclonal antibodies demonstrates that the novel adjuvant CoVaccine HT(TM) is functionally superior to Freund's adjuvant [PDF]
Passive immunotherapies utilising polyclonal antibodies could have a valuable role in preventing and treating infectious diseases such as influenza, particularly in pandemic situations but also in immunocompromised populations such as the elderly, the ...

Circulation of Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses in Tunisia, 2022–2023 Season
ABSTRACT Introduction Influenza sentinel surveillance has been ongoing in Tunisia since 1999. We describe the epidemiology of respiratory viruses during 2022–2023, the first season to include testing for other respiratory viruses, such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
