Genetic analysis of human and swine influenza A viruses isolated in Northern Italy during 2010–2015 [PDF]

, 2017
Summary Influenza A virus (IAV) infection in swine plays an important role in the ecology of influenza viruses. The emergence of new IAVs comes through different mechanisms, with the genetic reassortment of genes between influenza viruses, also ...

High Public‐Health Impact in an Influenza‐B‐Mismatch Season in Southern Italy, 2017‐2018

BioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Background. Yearly influenza epidemics have considerable effects on public health worldwide. The 2017‐2018 influenza season in Italy was of greater severity than previous seasons. The aim of this study was to describe the 2017‐2018 influenza season in Southern Italy and the molecular characteristics of the circulating viral strains. Methods.

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses Involved in Severe Acute Respiratory Disease in Northern Italy during the Pandemic and Postpandemic Period (2009–2011)

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Since 2009 pandemic, international health authorities recommended monitoring severe and complicated cases of respiratory disease, that is, severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We evaluated the proportion of SARI/ARDS cases and deaths due to influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 infection and the impact of other ...

Co-circulation of the two influenza B lineages during 13 consecutive influenza surveillance seasons in Italy, 2004-2017 [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND: Since 1985, two antigenically distinct lineages of influenza B viruses (Victoria-like and Yamagata-like) have circulated globally. Trivalent seasonal influenza vaccines contain two circulating influenza A strains but a single B strain and ...

Molecular characterization of emerging Echovirus 11 (E11) shed light on the recombinant origin of a variant associated with severe hepatitis in neonates

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 96, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Echovirus 11 (E11) has gained attention owing to its association with severe neonatal infections. Due to the limited data available, the World Health Organization (WHO) considers public health risk to the general population to be low. The present study investigated the genetic variation and molecular evolution of E11 genomes collected from May
