Serological Evidence and Risk Factors for Swine Influenza Infections among Chinese Swine Workers in Guangdong Province. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
During July to September 2014, we performed a controlled, cross-sectional, seroepidemiologic study among 203 swine workers and 115 control subjects in Guangdong Province. Sera were tested using a hemagglutination inhibition assay against locally-isolated

Vocal Outcomes After Cell‐Based Outer Vocal Fold Implant in Porcine Bilateral Vocal Fold Resection

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Cell‐based outer vocal fold replacement (COVR) was evaluated in a porcine model of bilateral vocal fold injury using longitudinal acoustic analysis and histologic assessment. COVR implantation resulted in recovery of the nonperiodic acoustic parameter Q50 to preoperative levels by 6 months, with implanted human adipose‐derived stem cells detected in 7 ...

Africa and Swine Influenza Virus [PDF]

Croatian Medical Journal, 2009
Just after the first cases of H1N1 (swine flu) had been confirmed in Mexico, a newspaper reporter wrote me an email asking whether the government of Malawi was prepared to deal with the current threat of the influenza.

Ion Activation Methods for Top‐Down Proteomics

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a premier method used to characterize the sequences of proteins. Top‐down proteomics aims to capture the multiple sources of structural diversity reflected in proteins, such as those that arise from alternative RNA splicing events or the addition of post‐translational modifications. Tandem MS (i.e., MS/MS)

Human Case of Swine Influenza A (H1N1) Triple Reassortant Virus Infection, Wisconsin

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Zoonotic infections with swine influenza A viruses are reported sporadically. Triple reassortant swine influenza viruses have been isolated from pigs in the United States since 1998.

Pasteurella lipoprotein E interacts with host ABCF2 to facilitate adhesion and cell apoptosis

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Pasteurella multocida can cause serious diseases in many animal species and humans, yet the mechanisms of its pathogenesis remain to be elucidated. In this study, we found that the lipoprotein E (PlpE) of P. multocida contributed to bacterial adhesion to host cells.

Rapid Genotyping of Swine Influenza Viruses [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
The emergence of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus highlighted the need for enhanced surveillance of swine influenza viruses. We used real-time reverse-transcription PCR-based genotyping and found that this rapid and simple genotyping method may identify reassortants derived from viruses of Eurasian avian-like, triple reassortant-like, and pandemic (H1N1 ...

Epistatically interacting substitutions are enriched during adaptive protein evolution. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2014
Most experimental studies of epistasis in evolution have focused on adaptive changes-but adaptation accounts for only a portion of total evolutionary change. Are the patterns of epistasis during adaptation representative of evolution more broadly?

Toward Predicting Pandemic Potential: A Comparative Analysis of Virus‐Host Interactions Between Diverse Influenza A Viruses and the Human Innate Immune System

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Zoonotic infections caused by influenza A viruses (IAVs) of animal origin are a major public health concern, as they may represent the initial step toward the emergence of a pandemic strain. The host range of IAVs is shaped by species‐specific virus‐host interactions, and several host barriers have been identified that restrict the adaptation ...

Mechanistic Models of Influenza Transmission in Commercial Swine Populations: A Systematic Review

Pathogens
Influenza in commercial swine populations leads to reduced gain in fattening pigs and reproductive issues in sows. This literature review aims to analyze the contributions of mathematical modeling in understanding influenza transmission and control among
