The Novel Human Influenza A(H7N9) Virus Is Naturally Adapted to Efficient Growth in Human Lung Tissue
UNLABELLED A novel influenza A virus (IAV) of the H7N9 subtype has been isolated from severely diseased patients with pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome and, apparently, from healthy poultry in March 2013 in Eastern China. We evaluated replication, tropism, and cytokine induction of the A/Anhui/1/2013 (H7N9) virus isolated from a fatal human infection and two low-pathogenic avian...
متن کاملRisk for worldwide pandemic of the new H7N9 influenza infection
Dear Editor: The recent report on the “Risk assessment on the epidemics of human infection with a novel avian in fluenza A (H7N9) virus” is very interesting. Liu et al. concluded that “it is highly unlikely that a pandemic of human infection with avian influenza A (H7N9) virus will happen in Jiangsu Province in the near future.” This result is concordant with a pre vious report by Nishiura et...
متن کاملDetection of Human Influenza Viruses in Nasopharyngeal Samples by RT-PCR vs Tissue Culture
Background and Aims: Influenza virus is a major pathogen involved in respiratory illnesses during winter seasons. A variety of diagnostic methods have been developed to identify influenza viruses in clinical specimen. Methods: Nasal and pharyngeal samples taken from patients were inoculated into Madin-Darby canine kidney (MOCK) cells and embryonated chicken eggs (ECEs). The culture media was a...
متن کاملThe Potential Effect of Glycyrrhiza Glabra on Early Step of Influenza Virus Replication
Background and Aims: The emergence of drug-resistant influenza viruses has become a serious threat for human and animal populations. Glycyrrhiza glabra (Gg) is a traditional medicine clinically used for the treatment of viral respiratory infection symptoms in most countries. We evaluated the effects of the herb on influenza virus replication in human lung cultured cells (A549) following the det...
متن کاملHuman H7N9 influenza A viruses replicate in swine respiratory tissue explants.
Recently, novel H7N9 influenza viruses have caused an unprecedented outbreak in humans. Pigs are an important intermediate host for influenza; thus, we assessed the replication ability of three human H7N9 viruses (A/Anhui/1/2013, A/Shanghai/1/2013, A/Shanghai/2/2013) in swine tissue explants. All viruses tested replicated efficiently in explants from tracheas and bronchi, with limited replicati...
