Isolation and Genetic Characterization of Influenza A (Subtype H5N1) Virus from Crows in India [PDF]

Advances in Animal and Veterinary Sciences, 2014
We isolated two influenza A (subtype H5N1) viruses from crows in India, in 2011 and 2012. Nucleotide sequence of all eight genome segments of both the viruses (A/crow/India/ 11TI07/2011 and A/crow/India/01TR01/2012) was determined and used for analysis. The two iso - lates shared >99% nucleotide sequence identity in all the eight genes.

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus Infection in Feral Raccoons, Japan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
Although raccoons (Procyon lotor) are susceptible to influenza viruses, highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H5N1) infection in these animals has not been reported.

Adaptive molecular evolution of virulence genes of avian influenza - A virus subtype H5N1: An analysis of host radiation [PDF]

Bioinformation, 2006
The phenomenon of host radiation is strongly influenced by the rates of mutation of their virulence genes. We have studied the molecular evolution of virulence genes (HA, NS, PB2) of the Avian Influenza Virus H5N1 from avian to human hosts. We used a site-specific comparison of synonymous (silent) and non-synonymous (amino acid altering) nucleotide ...

Targets of influenza human T-cell response are mostly conserved in H5N1

mBio
Frequent recent spillovers of subtype H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus into poultry and mammals, especially dairy cattle, including several human cases, increased concerns over a possible future pandemic.

Predicting Hotspots for Influenza Virus Reassortment

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
The 1957 and 1968 influenza pandemics, each of which killed ≈1 million persons, arose through reassortment events. Influenza virus in humans and domestic animals could reassort and cause another pandemic.

Llama-derived single domain antibodies to build multivalent, superpotent and broadened neutralizing anti-viral molecules.

PLoS ONE, 2011
For efficient prevention of viral infections and cross protection, simultaneous targeting of multiple viral epitopes is a powerful strategy. Llama heavy chain antibody fragments (VHH) against the trimeric envelope proteins of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (

Direct Comparison of an Inactivated Subvirion Influenza A Virus Subtype H5N1 Vaccine Administered by the Intradermal and Intramuscular Routes [PDF]

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2012
Direct comparisons of similar doses of a novel influenza virus antigen administered by the intradermal route and the intramuscular route have not been reported.A total of 227 healthy adults aged 18-49 years were randomized to receive 2 doses 1 month apart of a subvirion inactivated influenza A virus subtype H5N1 (rgA/Vietnam/1203/2004) vaccine ...

Detection and Genomic Characterization of an Avian Influenza Virus Subtype H5N1 (Clade 2.3.4.4b) Strain Isolated from a Pelican in Peru

Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2023
Surveillance helps us identify and monitor strains with zoonotic potential. A tracheal swab from a pelican on a Peruvian beach was H5N1 positive (clade 2.3.4.4b) using Oxford Nanopore’s MinION platform. The near-complete genome sequence of strain VFAR-140 will aid us in understanding avian influenza epidemiology and spread.

Timing of Influenza A(H5N1) in Poultry and Humans and Seasonal Influenza Activity Worldwide, 2004–2013

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
Co-circulation of influenza A(H5N1) and seasonal influenza viruses among humans and animals could lead to co-infections, reassortment, and emergence of novel viruses with pandemic potential. We assessed the timing of subtype H5N1 outbreaks among poultry,

Pathogenicity of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1) in Adult Mute Swans

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Adult, healthy mute swans were experimentally infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus A/Cygnus cygnus/Germany/R65/2006 subtype H5N1. Immunologically naive birds died, whereas animals with preexisting, naturally acquired avian influenza ...
