Whole Genome Sequencing and Genetic Diversity of Respiratory Viruses Detected in Children With Acute Respiratory Infections: A One-Year Cross-Sectional Study in Senegal. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are a health priority, especially in countries with limited resources. They are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, especially among children and the elderly. In Senegal, the endemic circulation of respiratory viruses other than influenza has been demonstrated.

Addressing the Dual Threat of Dengue and Influenza in Bangladesh: A Perspective on the Prevention and Preparedness Strategies. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aim In Bangladesh, dengue fever and influenza pose serious public health risks due to their high rates of morbidity and fatality. Frequent outbreaks have been caused by dengue, a virus spread by mosquitoes that causes flu‐like symptoms, particularly during the monsoon season.

Detection of a Reassortant Swine- and Human-Origin H3N2 Influenza A Virus in Farmed Mink in British Columbia, Canada. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction In December 2021, influenza A viruses (IAV) were detected in a population of farmed mink in British Columbia, Canada. Circulation of IAVs in farmed mink populations has raised public health concerns due to similarities between mustelid and human respiratory physiology, potentially facilitating spillover of zoonotic influenzas from

Ribonucleoprotein transport in Negative Strand RNA viruses
The genome replication of Negative‐sense, single‐stranded RNA viruses most‐often segregate in membrane‐less environments called inclusion bodies (IBs). These “organelles” usually locate far from the cell surface from where new virions are released. Here, for each viral family, we discuss how the genome progeny is transported from the IBs to reach the ...

MicroRNA‐205‐5p: A potential therapeutic target for influenza A
Abstract We are committed to finding host targets for influenza A therapeutics. The nucleoprotein (NP) plays an important role in influenza A virus replication and is an indispensable part of viral transcription and replication. Exploring endogenous substances that can modulate NP is critical for finding host targets.

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.

Characterization of the viral microbiome in patients with severe lower respiratory tract infections, using metagenomic sequencing. [PDF]
The human respiratory tract is heavily exposed to microorganisms. Viral respiratory tract pathogens, like RSV, influenza and rhinoviruses cause major morbidity and mortality from respiratory tract disease.

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
