Influenza virus susceptibility and resistance to oseltamivir.
Oseltamivir phosphate is a prodrug of oseltamivir carboxylate, a highly specific inhibitor of influenza virus neuraminidases. Given that oseltamivir carboxylate binds to highly conserved, essential amino acids in the catalytic site of the enzyme, and that the activity of neuraminidase is critical for virus release from infected cells and subsequent virus spread, the drug was expected to have a ...
متن کاملThe Susceptibility of Swine to the Virus of Human Influenza
Swine inoculated intranasally with human influenza virus alone develop an ill defined, mild, and usually afebrile illness of short duration. At postmortem the anterior lobes of the lungs of such animals contain scant, scattered areas of lobular atelectasis. Transmission of the virus for 5 serial passages through two groups of swine failed noticeably to enhance its pathogenicity for this species...
متن کاملHigh Temperature (30°C) Blocks Aerosol but Not Contact Transmission of Influenza Virus
Influenza causes significant morbidity in tropical regions; however, unlike in temperate zones, influenza in the tropics is not strongly associated with a given season. We have recently shown that influenza virus transmission in the guinea pig model is most efficient under cold, dry conditions, which are rare in the tropics. Herein, we report the lack of aerosol transmission at 30°C and at all ...
متن کاملInhibition of influenza C virus replication by actinomycin D, alpha-amanitin, and UV irradiation.
Actinomycin D and alpha-amanitin caused similar reductions in the yields of influenza A/WSN and influenza C/JBH/1/66 viruses in a chicken kidney cell culture system. Irradiation of host cells with UV light before virus infection also produced a similar reduction in yields of the two viruses. The results indicate a close similarity between the replication processes of influenza C and other ortho...
متن کاملReview of Aerosol Transmission of Influenza A Virus
In theory, influenza viruses can be transmitted through aerosols, large droplets, or direct contact with secretions (or fomites). These 3 modes are not mutually exclusive. Published findings that support the occurrence of aerosol transmission were reviewed to assess the importance of this mode of transmission. Published evidence indicates that aerosol transmission of influenza can be an importa...
