Transmission and Pathogenesis of Swine-Origin 2009 A(H1N1) Influenza Viruses in Ferrets and Mice

TL;DR: In this paper, selected 2009 A(H1N1) influenza isolates were assessed for their ability to cause disease in mice and ferrets and compared with a contemporary seasonal H 1N1 virus for the ability to transmit to naive ferrets through respiratory droplets.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Two-Amino Acid Change in the Hemagglutinin of the 1918 Influenza Virus Abolishes Transmission

TL;DR: These findings confirm an essential role of hemagglutinin receptor specificity for the transmission of influenza viruses among mammals and suggest that a predominant human α-2,6 sialic acid binding preference is essential for optimal transmission of this pandemic virus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of H5N1 avian influenza viruses in Asia

Jean Thierry Aubin, +93 more
TL;DR: Human infections were from a virus clade undergoing antigenic drift that showed resistance to adamantanes but sensitivity to neuraminidase inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lack of transmission of H5N1 avian–human reassortant influenza viruses in a ferret model

TL;DR: It is suggested that H5N1 viruses may require further adaptation to acquire this essential pandemic trait, and the complexity of the genetic basis of influenza virus transmissibility is highlighted.
