TL;DR: It is demonstrated that T helper type 1 and regulatory T cells are induced against the same epitopes on the core protein during HCV infection.

TL;DR: A new method of molecular clock analysis, called Site Stripping for Clock Detection (SSCD), which allows selection of nucleotide sites evolving at an equal rate in different lineages, and is able to date exactly the ‘known’ origin of the infection of HIV‐1 group M.

TL;DR: Increased expression of CD81 on innate B cells, a population that is expanded in the livers and peripheral blood of chronic HCV-infected patients, suggests a role in viral specific activation and clonal proliferation in chronicHCV infection.

TL;DR: A one-step allelic discrimination assay which rapidly (2h) detects this resistance mutation and is capable of detecting the antiviral resistance mutation in a mixture of wild type H275 and mutant H275Y targets.

TL;DR: Control measures included oseltamivir treatment for cases and prophylaxis for contacts, standard and droplet infection control precautions, active surveillance for early detection and isolation of potential cases, and vaccination of residents and staff of such facilities remains the key influenza prevention strategy.
