Influenza Virus Respiratory Infection and Transmission Following Ocular Inoculation in Ferrets
While influenza viruses are a common respiratory pathogen, sporadic reports of conjunctivitis following human infection demonstrates the ability of this virus to cause disease outside of the respiratory tract. The ocular surface represents both a potential site of virus replication and a portal of entry for establishment of a respiratory infection. However, the properties which govern ocular tr...
متن کاملStreptococcus Infection Occurring in Ferrets Inoculated with Human Influenza Virus *
The recovery of a filtrable virus from children with influenza has been described in other papers" T,the virus was isolated by means of the intranasal inoculation of ferrets with nasopharyngeal washings. The ferrets reacted to the washings with an acute respiratory infection, followed by recovery. After the virus had been transmitted in series through ferrets for' several generations, the react...
متن کاملThe Infection of Ferrets with Swine Influenza Virus
The experiments described confirm the earlier observation of Smith, Andrewes, and Laidlaw that the swine influenza virus is pathogenic for ferrets when administered intranasally. A disease that is clinically more severe and pathologically more extensive than that described by the above workers is obtained if inoculation with the virus is performed under ether anesthesia. Animals infected in thi...
متن کاملLow pH gel intranasal sprays inactivate influenza viruses in vitro and protect ferrets against influenza infection
BACKGROUND Developing strategies for controlling the severity of pandemic influenza is a global public health priority. In the event of a pandemic there may be a place for inexpensive, readily available, effective adjunctive therapies to support containment strategies such as prescription antivirals, vaccines, quarantine and restrictions on travel. Inactivation of virus in the intranasal enviro...
متن کاملCytokine Production in Hymenolepis Nana Infection
Background: Although many experimental studies provide convincing evidence that type II immunity is protective against helminths, recent data in mice demonstrate that Th1 is also impor-tant in some cestodes like Hymenolepis nana. Objective: To identify the role of Th1 and Th2 lymphocytes in immunity against H. nana, the levels of IL-12, IFNγ, IL-5, and IL-13 were de-termined in serum of humans ...
