TL;DR: Nanoimmunity by design can help to design materials for immune modulation, either stimulating or suppressing the immune response, which would find applications in the context of vaccine development for SARS-CoV-2 or in counteracting the cytokine storm, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Avian influenza: recent developments.
Ilaria Capua,Dennis J. Alexander +1 more
TL;DR: The human health implications have now gained importance, both for illness and fatalities that have occurred following natural infection with avian viruses, and for the potential of generating a reassortant virus that could give rise to the next human influenza pandemic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in the haemagglutinin and the neuraminidase genes prior to the emergence of highly pathogenic H7N1 avian influenza viruses in Italy.
Jill Banks,E S Speidel,E.H. Moore,L. Plowright,Alessandra Piccirillo,Ilaria Capua,Paolo Cordioli,A. Fioretti,D. J. Alexander +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the Italian HPAI viruses arose from low pathogenicity strains, and that a deletion in the NA stalk followed by the acquisition of additional glycosylation near the receptor binding site of HA1 may be an adaptation of H7 viruses to a new host species i.e. domestic poultry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Replication and Transmission of H9N2 Influenza Viruses in Ferrets: Evaluation of Pandemic Potential
Hongquan Wan,Erin M. Sorrell,Haichen Song,Jaber Hossain,Gloria Ramirez-Nieto,Isabella Monne,James Stevens,Giovanni Cattoli,Ilaria Capua,Li-Mei Chen,Ruben O. Donis,Julia Busch,James C. Paulson,Christy Brockwell,Richard J. Webby,Jorge Blanco,Mohammad Q. Al-Natour,Daniel R. Perez +17 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the establishment and prevalence of H9N2 viruses in poultry pose a significant threat for humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Newcastle disease outbreaks in recent years in Western Europe were caused by an old (VI) and a novel genotype (VII)

TL;DR: NDV strains isolated from outbreaks during epizootics between 1992 and 1996 in Western European countries, were compared by restriction enzyme cleavage site mapping of the fusion (F) protein gene between nucleotides 334 and 1682 and by sequence analysis, revealing that NDV strains belong to two distinct genotypes.
