TL;DR: A ferret model was used to evaluate the infectivity and transmissibility of A/Shanghai/2/2013 (SH2), a human H7N9 virus isolate, which showed limited capacity for airborne infectivity but efficiently transmitted between ferrets via direct contact, but less efficiently by airborne exposure.
Book ChapterDOI
Evolution and ecology of influenza A viruses.
TL;DR: In a relatively stable host-pathogen interaction in aquatic birds, antigenic and genetic evolution of influenza A viruses often accompanies interspecies transmission as the virus adapts to a new host.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathobiological features of a novel, highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) virus
Young-Il Kim,Philippe Noriel Q. Pascua,Hyeok-il Kwon,Gyo-Jin Lim,Eun-Ha Kim,Sun-Woo Yoon,Su-Jin Park,Se Mi Kim,Eun-Ji Choi,Young-Jae Si,Ok-Jun Lee,Woo-Sub Shim,Si-Wook Kim,In-Pil Mo,Yeonji Bae,Yong Taik Lim,Moon-Hee Sung,Chul-Joong Kim,Richard J. Webby,Robert G. Webster,Young Ki Choi +20 more
TL;DR: It is found that MDk/W452(H5N8), which originated from the reassortment of wild bird viruses harbored by migratory waterfowl in eastern China, replicated systemically and was lethal in chickens, but appeared to be attenuated, albeit efficiently transmitted, in ducks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outbreak of African Swine Fever, Vietnam, 2019.
Van Phan Le,Dae Gwin Jeong,Sun-Woo Yoon,Hye-Min Kwon,Thi Bich Ngoc Trinh,Thi Lan Nguyen,Thi Nga Bui,Jinsik Oh,Joon Bae Kim,Kwang Myun Cheong,Nguyen Van Tuyen,Eun-Hye Bae,Thi Thu Hang Vu,Minjoo Yeom,Woonsung Na,Daesub Song +15 more
TL;DR: The 2019 outbreak in Vietnam was confirmed by real-time reverse transcription PCR and the causative strain belonged to p72 genotype II and was 100% identical with viruses isolated in China and Georgia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Acid Stability of the Hemagglutinin Protein Enhances H5N1 Influenza Virus Growth in the Upper Respiratory Tract but Is Insufficient for Transmission in Ferrets

TL;DR: Overall, a single, acid-stabilizing mutation was found to enhance the growth of an H5N1 influenza virus in the mammalian upper respiratory tract, and yet it was insufficient to enable contact transmission in ferrets in the absence of additional mutations that confer α(2,6) receptor binding specificity and remove a critical N-linked glycosylation site.
