Characterization of the reconstructed 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic virus

TL;DR: Reverse genetics was used to generate an influenza virus bearing all eight gene segments of the pandemic virus to study the properties associated with its extraordinary virulence, and confirmed that the coordinated expression of the 1918 virus genes most certainly confers the unique high-virulence phenotype observed with this pandemicirus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly pathogenic avian influenza.

TL;DR: Control programmes, which imply allowing a low incidence of infection, are not an acceptable method for managing HPAI, but have been used during some outbreaks of MPAI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic analysis of increased host immune and cell death responses induced by 1918 influenza virus

TL;DR: It is found that mice infected with a virus containing all eight genes from the pandemic virus showed marked activation of pro-inflammatory and cell-death pathways by 24 h after infection that remained unabated until death on day 5, in contrast with smaller host immune responses as measured at the genomic level.
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.
