Research progress in human infection with avian influenza H7N9 virus [PDF]
Since the identification of the novel reassortant avian influenza A (H7N9) virus in China in 2013, until Jun 30, 2017, the virus has caused five epidemic waves leading to a total of 1,552 human infections, with a fatality rate of about 40%. In the spring of 2017, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H7N9 virus emerged and has caused 25 human ...

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...

Novel avian-origin influenza A (H7N9) virus in the human
The recent article on the novel H7N9 bird flu is very interesting. As Tang and Chen mentioned, there are indeed many interesting considerations involving this new emerging infection. First, the possibility of human to human transmission of this new infection should be discussed. In fact, if human to human transmission occurs, a worldwide pandemic could

Detection of Influenza H7N9 Virus: All Molecular Tests Are Not Equal [PDF]
ABSTRACT The recent emergence of influenza A virus (H7N9) emphasizes the need for its rapid detection. While commercial nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) are commonly used to detect seasonal influenza virus, this study demonstrated that the analytical sensitivity of commercial assays is highly variable compared to that of CDC-based in ...

Influenza virus infection drives upregulation of CD84 across a broad range of immune cells
Our findings reveal a link between high CD84 expression in humans and recovery from respiratory viral infections. In influenza virus‐infected mice, CD84 is upregulated on a broad range of innate and adaptive immune cell populations, particularly on activated and influenza virus‐specific T‐cell populations and associated with less disease severity ...

Rapid Diagnostic Tests for Identifying Avian Influenza A(H7N9) Virus in Clinical Samples
To determine sensitivity of rapid diagnostic tests for detecting influenza A(H7N9) virus, we compared rapid tests with PCR results and tested different types of clinical samples.

ABSTRACT For vaccination, the mechanisms of action of antigens and of immunostimulatory pathogen‐associated molecular pattern (PAMP) adjuvants are better understood than the roles of the depot, carrier, and other formulation‐related influences. Here, we carried out cytometric studies of vaccine formulations and the effect of adjuvant formulations on B ...

Modeling Airborne Influenza in Three Dimensions
A novel 3D fluid dynamics model demonstrates how influenza outbreaks spread spatially via “epidemic flow.” Simulations reveal that direct contact is the dominant transmission route over aerosol spread, offering a new tool to inform targeted public health interventions and spatially‐aware risk assessment.

Recombinant Hemagglutinin and Virus-Like Particle Vaccines for H7N9 Influenza virus
Cases of H7N9 human infection were caused by a novel, avian-origin H7N9 influenza A virus that emerged in eastern China in 2013. Clusters of human disease were identified in many cities in China, with mortality rates approaching 30%. Pandemic concerns were raised, as historically, influenza pandemics were caused by introduction of novel influenza A ...
