ANP32 proteins from ticks and vertebrates are key host factors for replication of Bourbon virus across species [PDF]
Bourbon virus (BRBV) is a tick-borne virus in the genus Thogotovirus in the Orthomyxoviridae family. BRBV was initially identified as the presumptive causative agent of a fatal human infection in 2014 and has since been identified in ticks in the Midwest,

Reassortant Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 Virus in Elderly Woman, Denmark, January 2021
A case of human infection with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus containing a nonstructural gene highly similar to Eurasian avian-like H1Nx swine influenza virus was detected in Denmark in January 2021. We describe the clinical case and report testing results

Severe Human Case of Zoonotic Infection with Swine-Origin Influenza A Virus, Denmark, 2021
During routine surveillance at the National Influenza Center, Denmark, we detected a zoonotic swine influenza A virus in a patient who became severely ill. We describe the clinical picture and the genetic characterization of this variant virus, which is

Melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) is involved in the innate immune response to Paramyxoviridae infection in vivo. [PDF]
The early host response to pathogens is mediated by several distinct pattern recognition receptors. Cytoplasmic RNA helicases including RIG-I and MDA5 have been shown to respond to viral RNA by inducing interferon (IFN) production.

Protective mechanism of quercetin and its derivatives in viral-induced respiratory illnesses
Globally, acute respiratory illnesses are the most commonly manifesting illness in all age group. The disease mostly affects the upper respiratory tract (URT) and is self-limiting.

Recombination Resulting in Virulence Shift in Avian Influenza Outbreak, Chile
Influenza A viruses occur worldwide in wild birds and are occasionally associated with outbreaks in commercial chickens and turkeys. However, avian influenza viruses have not been isolated from wild birds or poultry in South America. A recent outbreak in
