Influenza A virus is transmissible via aerosolized fomites
Nature Communications, 2020 Influenza viruses are presumed, but not conclusively known, to spread among humans by several possible routes. We provide evidence of a mode of transmission seldom considered for influenza: airborne virus transport on microscopic particles called ...

Hemagglutinin Receptor Binding of a Human Isolate of Influenza A(H10N8) Virus
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015 Three cases of influenza A(H10N8) virus infection in humans have been reported; 2 of these infected persons died. Characterization of the receptor binding pattern of H10 hemagglutinin from avian and human isolates showed that both interact weakly with ...

Trends in Microbiology, 2018 This infographic briefly summarises the natural history, replication cycle, and pathogenesis of influenza viruses, the cause of seasonal influenza and of influenza pandemics. Influenza viruses infect many vertebrates, with Influenza A, B and C viruses (IAV, IBV, and ICV) infecting humans. High mutation rates allow the evasion of immunity.

Oseltamivir Prescribing in Pharmacy-Benefits Database, United States, 2004–2005
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 We reviewed information from a US pharmacy benefits manager database from 2004 through 2005 during periods with little influenza activity. We calculated rates of oseltamivir prescriptions to enrollees. Prescription rates increased significantly from 27.3/

Influenza Pandemics: Past, Present and Future
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2006 Influenza A virus is well known for its capability for genetic changes either through antigen drift or antigen shift. Antigen shift is derived from reassortment of gene segments between viruses, and may result in an antigenically novel virus that is ...

Influenza A and B Virus Attachment to Respiratory Tract in Marine Mammals
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 Patterns of virus attachment to the respiratory tract of 4 marine mammal species were determined for avian and human influenza viruses. Attachment of avian influenza A viruses (H4N5) and (H7N7) and human influenza B viruses to trachea and bronchi of ...

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Clade 2.3.4.4b Virus in Wild Birds, Chile
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 In December 2022, highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b virus emerged in Chile. We detected H5N1 virus in 93 samples and obtained 9 whole-genome sequences of strains from wild birds.

Impact of Obesity on Influenza A Virus Pathogenesis, Immune Response, and Evolution
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 With the rising prevalence of obesity has come an increasing awareness of its impact on communicable disease. As a consequence of the 2009 H1N1 influenza A virus pandemic, obesity was identified for the first time as a risk factor for increased disease ...
