Genesis of pandemic influenza.
During the last decade the number of reported outbreaks caused by highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in domestic poultry has drastically increased. At the same time, low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) strains, such as H9N2 in many parts of the Middle East and Asia and H6N2 in live bird markets in California, have become endemic. Each AI outbreak brings the concomitant possibility of po...
متن کاملThe Genesis of a Pandemic Influenza Virus
Pandemic influenza viruses pose a significant threat to public health worldwide. In a recent Nature paper, Taubenberger et al. (2005) now report remarkable similarities between the polymerase genes of the influenza virus that caused the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic and those of avian influenza viruses. Meanwhile, Tumpey et al. (2005) reporting in Science show that the reconstructed 1918 Span...
متن کاملGenesis and pathogenesis of the 1918 pandemic H1N1 influenza A virus.
The source, timing, and geographical origin of the 1918-1920 pandemic influenza A virus have remained tenaciously obscure for nearly a century, as have the reasons for its unusual severity among young adults. Here, we reconstruct the origins of the pandemic virus and the classic swine influenza and (postpandemic) seasonal H1N1 lineages using a host-specific molecular clock approach that is demo...
متن کاملPandemic Influenza
Influenza viruses cause annual epidemics and occasional pandemics that have claimed the lives of millions. The emergence of novel strains continues to challenge the public health and scientific communities. Recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza A virus infections (including those of the H5N1 subtype) in poultry and in humans (through contact with infected birds), since 2003, hav...
متن کاملSurveillance for pandemic influenza.
Concerns that a new influenza strain may arise that would exhibit similar properties to the 1918-1919 pandemic virus prompted the decision in 1947 to establish a World Health Organization global program for influenza surveillance. This program has contributed greatly to understanding of the epidemiology of influenza and provides the basis for the timely updating of influenza vaccine formulation...
