Abstract: Methods of detecting influenza, including differentiating between type and subtype are disclosed, for example to detect, type, and/or subtype an influenza infection. A sample suspected of containing a nucleic acid of an influenza virus, is screened for the presence or absence of that nucleic acid. The presence of the influenza virus nucleic acid indicates the presence of influenza virus. Determining whether the influenza virus nucleic acid is present in the sample can be accomplished by detecting hybridization between an influenza specific probe, influenza type specific probe, and/or subtype specific probe and an influenza nucleic acid. Probes and primers for the detection, typing and/or subtyping of influenza virus are also disclosed. Kits and arrays that contain the disclosed probes and/or primers also are disclosed.

TL;DR: Among the 59 reported patients, no evidence of H5N1 virus infection was found; none had had direct contact with poultry, but 42% had evidence of human influenza A.
Abstract: We reviewed reports to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of US travelers suspected of having avian influenza A H5N1 virus infection from February 2003 through May 2006. Among the 59 reported patients, no evidence of H5N1 virus infection was found; none had had direct contact with poultry, but 42% had evidence of human influenza A.

TL;DR: The presente invention concerne des procedes de detection de la grippe, comprenant the differenciation entre un type and un sous-type as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: La presente invention concerne des procedes de detection de la grippe, comprenant la differenciation entre un type et un sous-type, par exemple pour detecter, definir le type et/ou le sous-type d'une infection par la grippe Un echantillon suspecte de contenir un acide nucleique d'un virus de la grippe est crible a la recherche de la presence ou de l'absence de cet acide nucleique La presence de l'acide nucleique du virus de la grippe indique la presence du virus de la grippe La determination de la presence de l'acide nucleique du virus de la grippe dans l'echantillon peut etre realisee en detectant une hybridation entre une sonde specifique a la grippe, une sonde specifique a un type de grippe et/ou une sonde specifique a un sous-type et un acide nucleique de la grippe L'invention concerne egalement des sondes et des amorces pour la detection, la definition du type et/ou du sous-type du virus de la grippe, ainsi que des trousses et des jeux ordonnes d'echantillons qui contiennent les sondes et/ou les amorces decrites
