Epidemiological and Virological Characterization of 2009 Pandemic Influenza A Virus Subtype H1N1 in Madagascar [PDF]
Madagascar was one of the first African countries to be affected by the 2009 pandemic of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 [A(H1N1)pdm2009] infection. The outbreak started in the capital city, Antananarivo, and then spread throughout the country from October 2009 through February 2010.Specimens from patients presenting with influenza-like illness were ...

The sensitive version of cell-ELISA was developed for the subtype-specific differentiation of current influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and A(H3N2) viruses that are circulating in the human population. This method is based on the estimation of virus reproduction in

Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) induced by influenza A virus subtype H1N1 [PDF]
Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) has been associated with several bacterial and viral infections. We presented a case report of a woman who presented to the emergency room, with influenza A virus subtype H1N1 which progressed to CAPS in the course of 17 days. We believe this is the first case that links CAPS with H1N1.

Detection in 2009 of the Swine Origin Influenza A (H1N1) Virus by a Subtyping Microarray [PDF]
A novel H1N1 swine origin influenza A (IAV) virus (S-OIV) was discovered in specimens from two unrelated children in the San Diego area in mid-April 2009 (1, 2). Those samples were positive for IAV but negative for both human H1 and H3 subtypes. The outbreak evolved rapidly, and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the highest phase 6 worldwide

2009 Pandemic Influenza A Virus Subtype H1N1 Vaccination in Africa—Successes and Challenges [PDF]
To provide vaccination against infection due to 2009 pandemic influenza A virus subtype H1N1 (A[H1N1]pdm09) to resource-constrained countries with otherwise very little access to the A(H1N1)pdm09 vaccine, the World Health Organization (WHO) coordinated distribution of donated vaccine to selected countries worldwide, including those in Africa.

Evolution of an Eurasian avian-like influenza virus in naïve and vaccinated pigs [PDF]
The latest human influenza pandemic highlights the ability of influenza viruses to jump species barriers and emerge in new hosts, as well as the role of pigs in generating viruses with pandemic potential.

Estimating reassortment rates in co-circulating Eurasian swine influenza viruses [PDF]
Swine have often been considered as a mixing vessel for different influenza strains. In order to assess their role in more detail, we undertook a retrospective sequencing study to detect and characterize the reassortants present in European swine and to ...

Higher titers of some H5N1 and recent human H1N1 and H3N2 influenza viruses in Mv1 Lu vs. MDCK cells
Background The infectivity of influenza A viruses can differ among the various primary cells and continuous cell lines used for such measurements. Over many years, we observed that all things equal, the cytopathic effects caused by influenza A subtype ...

Phylogenetic Analysis of HA and NA Genes of Swine Influenza Viruses in Serbia in 2016-2018
Pigs are very important for the epidemiology of influenza A viruses, being commonly infected with the lineages of most adapted H1N1, H3N2, H1N2 swine subtypes.

Diagnostic approach for the differentiation of the pandemic influenza A(H1N1)v virus from recent human influenza viruses by real-time PCR. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The current spread of pandemic influenza A(H1N1)v virus necessitates an intensified surveillance of influenza virus infections worldwide. So far, in many laboratories routine diagnostics were limited to generic influenza virus detection only.
