Antigenic and Genetic Characteristics of Swine-Origin 2009 A(H1N1) Influenza Viruses Circulating in Humans

Rebecca Garten, +62 more
- 10 Jul 2009 - 
TL;DR: The lack of similarity between the 2009 A(H1N1) virus and its nearest relatives indicates that its gene segments have been circulating undetected for an extended period as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transmission and Pathogenesis of Swine-Origin 2009 A(H1N1) Influenza Viruses in Ferrets and Mice

TL;DR: In this paper, selected 2009 A(H1N1) influenza isolates were assessed for their ability to cause disease in mice and ferrets and compared with a contemporary seasonal H 1N1 virus for the ability to transmit to naive ferrets through respiratory droplets.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Two-Amino Acid Change in the Hemagglutinin of the 1918 Influenza Virus Abolishes Transmission

TL;DR: These findings confirm an essential role of hemagglutinin receptor specificity for the transmission of influenza viruses among mammals and suggest that a predominant human α-2,6 sialic acid binding preference is essential for optimal transmission of this pandemic virus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human HA and polymerase subunit PB2 proteins confer transmission of an avian influenza virus through the air

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the adaptation of the HA and PB2 proteins are critical for the development of pandemic influenza strains from avian influenza viruses.
