Diagnostic and Immunologic Testing for Varicella in the Era of High-Impact Varicella Vaccination: An Evolving Problem.
TL;DR: The clinical presentation of varicella in unvaccinated persons, with skin vesicles and scabs, has facilitated the use of rapid diagnostic methods for confirming disease, and PCR is highly sensitive and specific in confirming modified disease if adequate samples are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection and discrimination of influenza B Victoria lineage deletion variant viruses by real-time RT-PCR.

TL;DR: A real-time RT-PCR assay for detection and discrimination of influenza B/VIC lineage variant viruses with two or three amino acid deletions in the haemagglutinin protein that detects and distinguishes these influenza B variant viruses during surveillance.

Compositions and methods for detection and discrimination of influenza viruses
Bo Shu,Stephen Lindstrom,Kai-Hui Wu,LaShondra Berman,Shannon L. Emery,Christine Warnes,Catharine Mccord +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, compositions and methods for detecting presence of an influenza virus in a sample, such as a biological sample obtained from a subject or an environmental sample, are presented. But none of the methods can be used to identify particular subtypes of influenza virus (such as seasonal or variant influenza subtype H3, influenza sub type H5, Eurasian influenza sub-type H7, North American influenza subtypes H7 and/or influenza sub types H9) present in the sample.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analyses of evolutionary and virulence divergency of Hong Kong H5N1 influenza A viruses isolated from humans
TL;DR: A series of experimental infections revealed that the marked differences in neurovirulence among viruses could be attributed to whether or not viruses were transmitted from the lung to the brain.

Minimal transmission in an influenza A (H3N2) human challenge-transmission model with exposure events in a controlled environment

TL;DR: In-depth review by an expert panel, proof-of-concept study, and an international workshop concluded that human challenge-transmission studies in well-controlled environments would be the most promising approach to fill this critical knowledge gap.
