Novel Reassortant Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N8) Virus in Zoos, India
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N8) viruses were detected in waterfowl at 2 zoos in India in October 2016. Both viruses were different 7:1 reassortants of H5N8 viruses isolated in May 2016 from wild birds in the Russian Federation and China ...

Nomenclature updates resulting from the evolution of avian influenza A(H5) virus clades 2.1.3.2a, 2.2.1, and 2.3.4 during 2013-2014. [PDF]
AIM: The A/goose/Guangdong/1/96-like hemagglutinin (HA) genes of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) viruses have continued to rapidly evolve since the most recent update to the H5 clade nomenclature by the WHO/OIE/FAO H5N1 Evolution Working ...

Senegalese sole transcriptomic profiles in response to different betanodavirus RGNNV/SJNNV reassortant strains [PDF]
Betanodaviruses are the causative agents of viral nervous necrosis (VNN), a disease that has been reported in more than 40 marine and freshwater fish species worldwide, including Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis). Based on the variable region T4 (RNA2)

The NS segment of H5N1 avian influenza viruses (AIV) enhances the virulence of an H7N1 AIV in chickens [PDF]
Some outbreaks involving highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV) of subtypes H5 and H7 were caused by avian-to-human transmissions. In nature, different influenza A viruses can reassort leading to new viruses with new characteristics.

Tuberculosis and gender: exploring the patterns in a case control study in Malawi. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In many populations there is an excess of tuberculosis in young women and older men. We explored possible explanations for these patterns, concentrating on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status, pregnancy, smoking, cooking smoke exposure,

Elicitation of protective immune responses using a bivalent H5N1 VLP vaccine [PDF]
Background Currently licensed human vaccines are subtype-specific and do not protect against pandemic H5N1 viruses. Previously, our group has reported on the construction of an influenza virus-like particle (VLP) as a new generation candidate vaccine.

Development of reassortant viruses between pathogenic hantavirus strains
Segment reassortment of negative strand viruses is an important mechanism for the development of new virus strains with altered pathogenicity. This study reports on in vitro generation of reassortants between Andes (ANDV) and Sin Nombre (SNV) viruses.

Trends and measurement of HIV prevalence in northern Malawi.
BACKGROUND: Most data on HIV prevalence in Malawi come from antenatal clinic (ANC) surveillance and are, therefore, subject to bias. OBJECTIVES: HIV prevalence and risk factors were measured using population-based data to assess the accuracy of ANC ...
