Influenza Virus and Vaccination [PDF]
Pathogens, 2020 Influenza virus infections represent a serious public health problem causing contagious respiratory disease and substantial morbidity and mortality in humans, resulting in a considerable economic burden worldwide. Notably, the number of deaths due to influenza exceeds that of any other known pathogen.

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.

The Influenza Virus Enigma [PDF]
Cell, 2009 Both seasonal and pandemic influenza continue to challenge both scientists and clinicians. Drug-resistant H1N1 influenza viruses have dominated the 2009 flu season, and the H5N1 avian influenza virus continues to kill both people and poultry in Eurasia.

The native structure of assembled influenza A virus M1 matrix protein
Nature, 2020 Influenza A virus causes millions of severe cases of disease during annual epidemics. The most abundant protein in influenza virions is matrix protein 1 (M1), which mediates virus assembly by forming an endoskeleton beneath the virus membrane1.

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 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 ...

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 ...
