TL;DR: It is shown that H7 viruses probably transferred from domestic duck to chicken populations in China on at least two independent occasions and subsequently reassorted with enzootic H9N2 viruses to generate the H7N9 outbreak lineage, and a related previously unrecognized H7n7 lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A ferret model was used to evaluate the infectivity and transmissibility of A/Shanghai/2/2013 (SH2), a human H7N9 virus isolate, which showed limited capacity for airborne infectivity but efficiently transmitted between ferrets via direct contact, but less efficiently by airborne exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammatory Cytokine Expression Is Associated with Chikungunya Virus Resolution and Symptom Severity

TL;DR: Investigation of serum levels of 13 cytokines/chemokines during the acute phase of Chikungunya disease and 6- and 12-month post-infection follow-up from patients of the Italian outbreak gives insight into Chikundya disease establishment and subsequent convalescence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial contamination of raw meat and its environment in retail shops in Karachi, Pakistan.
TL;DR: The data confirm the circulation of antibiotic resistant and biofilm forming pathogens in raw meat and its environment in retail shops in Pakistan, which could play a role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance amongst food-borne bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synergistic Antimicrobial Activity of Camellia sinensis and Juglans regia against Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria
Amber Farooqui,Adnan Khan,Ilaria Borghetto,Shahana Urooj Kazmi,Salvatore Rubino,Bianca Paglietti +5 more
TL;DR: Novel information is provided about antimicrobial and synergistic activity of Camellia sinensis and Juglans regia against MDR pathogens and the changes in bacterial cell morphology indicating the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria as possible target of action is explored.
