Abstract submitted by kickingbird at 18 hours ago from Vet Microbiol. 2021 Jan 6;254:108978 During our routine surveillance, we isolated seven H6 avian influenza virus (AIV) strains, including three H6N1 strains, three H6N2 strains, and one H6N8 strain, from 3667 fresh fecal samples that were ... Shih PW, Chan TC, King CC. Risk Mapping of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5 during 2012-2017 in Taiwan with Spatial Bayesian Modeling: Implications for Surveillance and Control Policies. Transbound Emerg Dis. 2021 Jan 16. Abstract submitted by kickingbird at 2 days ago from Transbound Emerg Dis. 2021 Jan 16 During 2012-2017, a total of 1,144 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5 outbreaks were reported in Taiwan. We conjectured the current 3-km radius of the post-outbreak containment policy could fail ... Ashar HK, Pulavendran S, Rudd JM, Maram P, Achanta. Administration of a CXCR2 antagonist, SCH527123, together with oseltamivir suppresses NETosis and protects mice from lethal influenza and piglets from swine-influenza infection. Am J Pathol. 2021 Jan 13:S0002-9440(21)00002-X. Abstract submitted by kickingbird at 2 days ago from Am J Pathol. 2021 Jan 13:S0002-9440(21)00002-X Excessive neutrophil influx, their released neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and extracellular histones are associated with disease severity in influenza-infected patients. Neutrophil chemokine receptor ... Liu S, Huang Z, Deng X, Zou X, Li H, Mu S, Cao B. Identification of key candidate biomarkers for severe influenza infection by integrated bioinformatical analysis and initial clinical validation. J Cell Mol Med. 2021 Jan 14. Abstract submitted by kickingbird at 3 days ago from J Cell Mol Med. 2021 Jan 14 One of the key barriers for early identification and intervention of severe influenza cases is a lack of reliable immunologic indicators. In this study, we utilized differentially expressed genes screening ... Vousden N, Bunch K, Knight M; UKOSS Influenza Co-I. Incidence, risk factors and impact of seasonal influenza in pregnancy: A national cohort study. PLoS One. 2021 Jan 15;16(1):e0244986. Abstract submitted by kickingbird at 3 days ago from PLoS One. 2021 Jan 15;16(1):e0244986 Background: Pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to severe infection from influenza resulting in poor neonatal outcomes. The majority of evidence relates to pandemic 2009 A/H1N1 influenza. The objective ... | |
