Strategies for Using Antigen Rapid Diagnostic Tests to Reduce Transmission of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Mathematical Modelling Study Applied to Zambia

TL;DR: Testing symptomatic individuals yields greater benefits than any asymptomatic community testing strategy until most symptomatic Individuals who sought testing have been tested, and excess tests to proactively screen for asymPTomatic infections among household members yields the largest additional infections averted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenotypic Effects of Substitutions within the Receptor Binding Site of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 Virus Observed during Human Infection.

TL;DR: The functional impact of substitutions that were detected during H5N1 virus infection investigated, finding that accumulation of multiple amino acid substitutions within a single hemagglutinin during human infection is rare, thus reducing the risk of virus adaptation to humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular reproduction number, generation time and growth rate differ between human- and avian-adapted influenza strains

TL;DR: It is suggested that the in vitro reproduction number, generation time and growth rate differ between human- Adapted and avian-adapted influenza strains, and thus could be used to assess host adaptation of internal proteins to inform pandemic risk assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Will there ever be a new influenza pandemic and are we prepared

TL;DR: Before an avian influenza virus becomes a pandemic virus, it will rst have to see its binding position switch in the human upper espiratory tract, says Colin Russell from Cambridge Univerity, UK.
