Containing the Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Virus

2009 H1N1 Influenza Virus Seroepidemiology

cns involvement by novel influenza virus type a (h1n1), the first report from iran

objective this is the first report of cns involvement by the new influenza virus (influenza a [h1n1]) in iran. the patient was a 10-year-old boy with chief complaints of fever, malaise, and cranial nerve involvement, resulting in respiratory muscle paralysis and intubation. this shows that the new influenza virus, as well as the seasonal flu, can cause neurologic complications; however, the sev...

Polyclonal Antibody against Recombinant Nucleoprotein of the Influenza A Virus (H1N1); Production and Purification

Background and Aims: Influenza is an acute respiratory illness that is caused by a virus belonging to Orthomyxoviridae family. This virus spreads rapidly every year in cold season and leads to morbidities and mortalities especially in adults and children, which causes billions of dollars of economic losses. Accordingly, development of a rapid, sensitive and inexpensive laboratory diagnosis base...

Design, Production, and Evaluation of Virosomes from H1N1 Influenza Virus

Background: The last two decades witnessed the spread of the first generation of influenza viruses. Influenza virosomes are promising tools in vaccine and immunotherapy programs because of their applications in various medical fields. The aim of the present study was to construct cationic virosomes derived from influenza virus using dialyzable detergent (DCPC) and cationic lipid (DOTAP) in vit...

The novel swine-origin H1N1 influenza A virus riddle: is it a domestic bird H1N1-derived virus?

To understand the role of domestic birds in the 2009 H1N1 influenza A outbreak, a phylogenetic analysis of hemagglutinin, neuraminidase and matrix protein genes from human, avian and swine H1N1 viruses was carried out. Analysis of the H1 sequences revealed that the virus evolved most likely from American swine as well as intermixing between Asian swine and American domestic bird H1N1 viruses. N...
