Temporal Shifting of Influenza Subtype Dynamics in Pakistan Following the COVID-19 Pandemic: A 10-Year FluNet Analysis, 2015-2024. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background The COVID‐19 pandemic and associated nonpharmaceutical interventions caused unprecedented suppression of influenza circulation globally. Pakistan, with its high population density and evolving surveillance capacity, lacks long‐term data on post‐COVID‐19 influenza patterns, essential for guiding vaccine policy.

Evaluation of Next-Generation H3 Influenza Vaccines in Ferrets Pre-Immune to Historical H3N2 Viruses
Each person has a unique immune history to past influenza virus infections. Exposure to influenza viruses early in life establishes memory B cell populations that influence future immune responses to influenza vaccination.

Simultaneous Detection of Influenza A, Influenza B, and Respiratory Syncytial Viruses and Subtyping of Influenza A H3N2 Virus and H1N1 (2009) Virus by Multiplex Real-Time PCR [PDF]
ABSTRACT A multiplex real-time PCR assay was developed to simultaneously detect and discriminate influenza A virus subtypes, including novel H1N1 (2009) and seasonal H3N2 virus, influenza B virus, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in a single test tube, with detection sensitivity and specificity of 99% and 100%, respectively, for the four

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 ...
