PA-X protein arises from a ribosomal frameshift in the PA of influenza A virus (IAV). However, the immune regulatory effect of the PA-X protein of H1N1 viruses on the nasal mucosal system remains unclear. Here, a PA-X deficient H1N1 rPR8 viral strain (rPR8-△PAX) was generated and its pathogenicity was determined.

The Effect of Risk Perception on the 2009 H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Dynamics [PDF]
Background: The 2009 H1N1 pandemic influenza dynamics in Italy was characterized by a notable pattern: as it emerged from the analysis of influenza-like illness data, after an initial period (September–mid-October 2009) characterized by a slow ...

Computational design of drug candidates for influenza A virus subtype H1N1 by inhibiting the viral neuraminidase-1 enzyme [PDF]
Abstract It is critical to seek potential alternative treatments for H1N1 infections by inhibiting neuraminidase-1 enzyme. One of the viable options for inhibiting the activity of neuraminidase- 1 is peptide drug design.

Heterosubtypic neutralizing monoclonal antibodies cross-protective against H5N1 and H1N1 recovered from human IgM+ memory B cells [PDF]
Background: The hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein is the principal target of protective humoral immune responses to influenza virus infections but such antibody responses only provide efficient protection against a narrow spectrum of HA antigenic variants ...

Hemagglutinin sequence conservation guided stem immunogen design from influenza A H3 subtype [PDF]
Seasonal epidemics caused by influenza A (H1 and H3 subtypes) and B viruses are a major global health threat. The traditional, trivalent influenza vaccines have limited efficacy because of rapid antigenic evolution of the circulating viruses.

Health-Care Providers' Preparedness for H1N1/09 Influenza Prevention and Treatment in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. [PDF]
\ud In Tanzania, the first case of H1N1/09 influenza was reported in September 2009. By March 2010, the reported number of cases was 770 with one death.

ABSTRACT Influenza viruses cause seasonal epidemics, and current vaccines do not fully protect against them. This study focuses on long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are RNA molecules that do not code for proteins but play crucial roles in various biological processes. We identified 17 lncRNAs altered by the influenza virus.

A novel broad-spectrum treatment for respiratory virus infections : influenza-based defective interfering virus provides protection against pneumovirus infection in vivo [PDF]
Respiratory viruses represent a major clinical burden. Few vaccines and antivirals are available, and the rapid appearance of resistant viruses is a cause for concern.

Aloe Polysaccharides Inhibit Influenza A Virus Infection—A Promising Natural Anti-flu Drug
Influenza A virus causes periodic outbreaks and seriously threatens human health. The drug-resistant mutants have shown an epidemic trend because of the abuse of chemical drugs.

Improved Sensitivity of a Commercial Reverse Transcription-PCR Test for Subtyping of the 2009 H1N1 Influenza A Virus [PDF]
Rapid detection of influenza A virus and determination of its subtype are important globally for public health surveillance and locally for the selection of antiviral treatment (1). We have used the ProFlu+ assay to test respiratory samples from children for influenza A virus, influenza B virus, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and the ProFlu ST ...
