Visualizing real-time influenza virus infection, transmission and protection in ferrets
Influenza transmission efficiency in ferrets is vital for risk-assessment studies. However, the inability to monitor viral infection and transmission dynamics in real time only provides a glimpse into transmissibility. Here we exploit a replication-competent influenza reporter virus to investigate dynamics of infection/transmission in ferrets. Bioluminescent imaging of ferrets infected with A/C...
متن کاملSwine Influenza Virus (H1N2) Characterization and Transmission in Ferrets, Chile
Phylogenetic analysis of the influenza hemagglutinin gene (HA) has suggested that commercial pigs in Chile harbor unique human seasonal H1-like influenza viruses, but further information, including characterization of these viruses, was unavailable. We isolated influenza virus (H1N2) from a swine in a backyard production farm in Central Chile and demonstrated that the HA gene was identical to t...
متن کاملInfluenza 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 کاملVisualizing influenza virus infection in living mice
Preventing and treating influenza virus infection remain a challenge because of incomplete understanding of the host-pathogen interactions, limited therapeutics and lack of a universal vaccine. So far, methods for monitoring the course of infection with influenza virus in real time in living animals are lacking. Here we report the visualization of influenza viral infection in living mice using ...
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...
