Orthohantaviruses, Emerging Zoonotic Pathogens

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
Orthohantaviruses give rise to the emerging infections such as of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in Eurasia and the Americas, respectively.

GC B Cells, Tfh Cells, and Influenza bnAbs: Insights for Improving Universal Vaccine Design

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, Volume 341, Issue 1, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Antibodies are crucial for providing protection against influenza virus infection; however, protective humoral immunity is limited by antigenic drift and shift. Hence, the discovery of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) targeting conserved epitopes on hemagglutinin protein evokes the hope of developing a universal influenza vaccine ...

Genetic characterization of 2008 reassortant influenza A virus (H5N1), Thailand

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2010
In January and November 2008, outbreaks of avian influenza have been reported in 4 provinces of Thailand. Eight Influenza A H5N1 viruses were recovered from these 2008 AI outbreaks and comprehensively characterized and analyzed for nucleotide identity ...

Organization of the Influenza A Virus Genomic RNA in the Viral Replication Cycle—Structure, Interactions, and Implications for the Emergence of New Strains

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
The influenza A virus is a human pathogen causing respiratory infections. The ability of this virus to trigger seasonal epidemics and sporadic pandemics is a result of its high genetic variability, leading to the ineffectiveness of vaccinations and ...

The Wells–Riley Model Revisited II: Parameter Uncertainty and Population Heterogeneity

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In this work, we revisit the Wells–Riley model, which has been widely used to estimate airborne infection risk in indoor settings. In particular, we consider a probabilistic (i.e., “stochastic”) framework of the Wells–Riley model which allows one to quantify infection risk in terms of the per‐capita probability of infection for each ...

Reverse Genetics System for Shuni Virus, an Emerging Orthobunyavirus with Zoonotic Potential

open access: yesViruses, 2020
The genus Orthobunyavirus (family Peribunyaviridae, order Bunyavirales) comprises over 170 named mosquito- and midge-borne viruses, several of which cause severe disease in animals or humans. Their three-segmented genomes enable reassortment with related

A comprehensive analysis of reassortment in influenza A virus [PDF]

open access: yesBiology Open, 2012
Summary Genetic reassortment plays a vital role in the evolution of the influenza virus and has historically been linked with the emergence of pandemic strains. Reassortment is believed to occur when a single host - typically swine - is simultaneously infected with multiple influenza strains.

Ecological implications and lessons from high pathogenicity avian influenza H5N1 2.3.4.4b in Antarctica

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
HPAI H5N1 was confirmed in 22 South Polar Skuas and one Kelp Gull on Dismal and Horseshoe Islands, Marguerite Bay, Western Antarctic Peninsula in early 2025, with high mortalities consistent with global trends. Rapid antigen tests showed 90% agreement with rRT‐PCR, supporting their utility for early detection in remote environments.

Interspecific Reassortment of Genomic Segments in the Evolution of Cucumoviruses

open access: yes, 1995
Segmented genomes of RNA viruses are thought to evolve and be maintained in analogy to sexual recombination and reassortment in eukaryotic systems. If reassortment among genomes is an important event in cucumoviral evolution, then such events should be ...
