Journal ArticleDOI
The ferret as a model organism to study influenza A virus infection
TL;DR: This work compares the advantages and limitations of the mouse, ferret and guinea pig models for research with influenza A viruses, emphasizing the multifarious uses of the ferret in the assessment of influenza viruses with pandemic potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Analysis of sequences from 232 patients sampled over 7 months in Sierra Leone, along with 86 previously released genomes from earlier in the epidemic, confirms sustained human-to-human transmission within Sierra Leone and finds no evidence for import or export of EBOV across national borders after its initial introduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocular Tropism of Respiratory Viruses
TL;DR: The anatomical proximity and cellular receptor distribution between ocular and respiratory tissues and Identification of shared receptor-binding preferences, host responses, and laboratory modeling protocols among these viruses provides a needed bridge between clinical and laboratory studies of virus tropism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogenesis of emerging avian influenza viruses in mammals and the host innate immune response.
Taronna R. Maines,Kristy J. Szretter,Lucy A. Perrone,Jessica A. Belser,Rick A. Bright,Hui Zeng,Terrence M. Tumpey,Jacqueline M. Katz +7 more
TL;DR: Influenza A viruses of avian origin represent an emerging threat to human health as the progenitors of the next influenza pandemic as well as their induction of host innate immune responses in mammalian species, and the contribution of these responses to the disease process.
