Journal ArticleDOI
Optimizing Surveillance for South American Origin Influenza A Viruses Along the United States Gulf Coast Through Genomic Characterization of Isolates from Blue‐winged Teal (Anas discors)
Andrew M. Ramey,Andrew M. Ramey,Patrick Walther,Paul Link,Rebecca L. Poulson,Benjamin R. Wilcox,George M. Newsome,Erica Spackman,Justin C. Brown,David E. Stallknecht +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors genomically characterized 45 viruses isolated from blue-winged teal (Anas discors) along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast during March of 2012 and 2013, coincident with northward migration of this species from Neotropical wintering areas to breeding grounds in the United States and Canada.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do crocodilians get the flu? Looking for influenza A in captive crocodilians
Lisa Marie Davis,Erica Spackman +1 more
TL;DR: Viable virus could not be recovered from RT‐PCR‐positive samples, although this is consistent with previous attempts at viral isolation in embryonated chicken eggs with crocodilian viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving risk assessment of the emergence of novel influenza A viruses by incorporating environmental surveillance.
Kim M. Pepin,Matthew W. Hopken,Matthew W. Hopken,Susan A. Shriner,Erica Spackman,Zaid Abdo,Colin R. Parrish,Steven Riley,James O. Lloyd-Smith,Antoinette J. Piaggio +9 more
TL;DR: Coupling quantitative disease models and natural transmission studies with new molecular technologies, such as deep-mutational scanning and single-virus sequencing of environmental samples, should dramatically improve the understanding of viral co-occurrence and reassortment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antigenic characterization of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses with chicken and ferret antisera reveals clade-dependent variation in hemagglutination inhibition profiles.
Diep T. Nguyen,Samuel S. Shepard,David F. Burke,Joyce Jones,Sharmi Thor,Long Van Nguyen,Tho Dang Nguyen,Amanda Balish,Dang Nguyen Hoang,Thanh Long To,Munir Iqbal,David E. Wentworth,Erica Spackman,H. Rogier van Doorn,C. Todd Davis,Juliet E. Bryant +15 more
TL;DR: The results establish the feasibility and utility of HPAI A(H5N1) antigenic characterization using chicken antisera and support further experimental and modeling studies to investigate quantitative relationships between genetic variation, antigenic drift and correlates of poultry vaccine protection in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-Protection by Inactivated H5 Prepandemic Vaccine Seed Strains against Diverse Goose/Guangdong Lineage H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Viruses.
Miria Ferreira Criado,Mariana Sá e Silva,Dong-Hun Lee,Dong-Hun Lee,Carolina Salge,Erica Spackman,Ruben O. Donis,Xiu-Feng Wan,David E. Swayne +8 more
TL;DR: Virus diversity, immune response complexity, and the importance of strain selection for vaccine development to control H5N1 HPAIV in the agricultural sector and for human prepandemic preparedness are highlighted and the engineering of specific antigenic sites can improve the immunogenicity of H5 vaccines are suggested.
