  • Influenza Virus Infections in Humans October 2018
    Influenza virus infections in humans October 2018 This note is provided in order to clarify the differences among seasonal influenza, pandemic influenza, and zoonotic or variant influenza. Seasonal influenza Seasonal influenza viruses circulate and cause disease in humans every year. In temperate climates, disease tends to occur seasonally in the winter months, spreading from person-to- person through sneezing, coughing, or touching contaminated surfaces. Seasonal influenza viruses can cause mild to severe illness and even death, particularly in some high-risk individuals. Persons at increased risk for severe disease include pregnant women, the very young and very old, immune-compromised people, and people with chronic underlying medical conditions. Seasonal influenza viruses evolve continuously, which means that people can get infected multiple times throughout their lives. Therefore the components of seasonal influenza vaccines are reviewed frequently (currently biannually) and updated periodically to ensure continued effectiveness of the vaccines. There are three large groupings or types of seasonal influenza viruses, labeled A, B, and C. Type A influenza viruses are further divided into subtypes according to the specific variety and combinations of two proteins that occur on the surface of the virus, the hemagglutinin or “H” protein and the neuraminidase or “N” protein. Currently, influenza A(H1N1) and A(H3N2) are the circulating seasonal influenza A virus subtypes. This seasonal A(H1N1) virus is the same virus that caused the 2009 influenza pandemic, as it is now circulating seasonally. In addition, there are two type B viruses that are also circulating as seasonal influenza viruses, which are named after the areas where they were first identified, Victoria lineage and Yamagata lineage.

Phylogenetic analysis shows that CIV isolates are related to equine influenza virus of the Florida Clade 1 sublineage. However, sustained transmission of CIV among dogs and further genetic evolution of the virus has established CIV as a canine-specific influenza A virus (IAV). During the early years after emergence, studies determining the impact of CIV on dog populations were scarce. The few published findings were also alarming, with case fatality rates as high as 36% and seropositivity as high as 97% in certain dog populations. Despite these reports, the prevalence of CIV infection in dogs, the transmission dynamics among dog populations, risk factors for CIV infection, and how the virus was evolving within the canine host had yet to be examined.

Daly Received: 22 December 2016; Accepted: 22 January 2017; Published: 8 February 2017 Abstract: Equine influenza viruses (EIV) are a major cause of acute respiratory disease in horses worldwide and occasionally also affect vaccinated animals. Like other influenza A viruses, they undergo antigenic drift, highlighting the importance of both surveillance and virus characterisation in order for vaccine strains to be kept up to date. The aim of the work reported here was to monitor the genetic and antigenic changes occurring in EIV circulating in the UK from 2013 to 2015 and to identify any evidence of vaccine breakdown in the field. Virus isolation, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and sequencing were performed on EIV-positive nasopharyngeal swab samples submitted to the Diagnostic Laboratory Services at the Animal Health Trust (AHT). Phylogenetic analyses were completed for the haemagglutinin-1 (HA1) and neuraminidase (NA) genes using PhyML and amino acid sequences compared against the current World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE)-recommended Florida clade 2 vaccine strain.

  • In Vitro Efficacies of Oseltamivir Carboxylate and Zanamivir Against Equine Influenza a Viruses
    NOTE Virology In Vitro Efficacies of Oseltamivir Carboxylate and Zanamivir against Equine Influenza A Viruses Takashi YAMANAKA1), Koji TSUJIMURA1), Takashi KONDO1) and Tomio MATSUMURA1) 1)Epizootic Research Center, Equine Research Institute, Japan Racing Association, 1400–4 Shiba, Shimotsuke, Tochigi 329–0412, Japan (Received 29 September 2005/Accepted 20 December 2005) ABSTRACT. To investigate the possibilities of two NA inhibitors [oseltamivir carboxylate (OC) and zanamivir (ZA)] as the clinical agents for equine nifluenza A virus (EIV) infection, we examined the efficacies of these inhibitors against twelve EIVs in vitro. OC and ZA inhibited NA activities of all EIVs with 50% inhibitory concentrations with ranging from 0.017 to 0.130 and from 0.010 to 0.074 μM, respectively. OC and ZA inhibited plaque-forming of all EIVs in MDCK cells with 50% effective concentrations with ranging from 0.015 to 0.097 and from 0.016 to 0.089 μM, respectively, except for one strain (13.328 μM and 6.729 μM). These results suggest that these inhibitors are effective against most EIVs and might be useful for treatment of EI in horses. KEY WORDS: equine, equine influenza A virus, neuraminidase inhibitor. J.

  • Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza
    Importance Avian Influenza Avian influenza viruses are highly contagious, extremely variable viruses that are widespread in birds. Wild birds in aquatic habitats are thought to be their natural Fowl Plague, Grippe Aviaire reservoir hosts, but domesticated poultry are readily infected. Most viruses cause only mild disease in poultry, and are called low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) viruses. Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses can develop from certain LPAI Last Updated: September 2014 viruses, usually while they are circulating in poultry flocks. HPAI viruses can kill up to 90-100% of the flock, and cause epidemics that may spread rapidly, devastate the poultry industry and result in severe trade restrictions. Infection of poultry with LPAI viruses capable of evolving into HPAI viruses also affects international trade. Avian influenza viruses occasionally affect mammals, including humans, usually after close contact with infected poultry. While many human cases are limited to conjunctivitis An enhanced version of or mild respiratory disease, some viruses tend to cause severe illness.

At least 16 hemagglutinins (H1 to H16), and 9 neuraminidases (N1 to N9) have been found in viruses from birds, while two additional HA and NA types have been identified, to date, only in bats.

  • Influenza Importance Influenza Viruses Are Highly Variable RNA Viruses That Can Affect Birds and Mammals Including Humans
    Influenza Importance Influenza viruses are highly variable RNA viruses that can affect birds and mammals including humans. There are currently three species of these viruses, Flu, Grippe, Avian Influenza, designated influenza A, B and C. A new influenza C-related virus recently detected in Grippe Aviaire, Fowl Plague, livestock has been proposed as “influenza D.”1-6 Swine Influenza, Hog Flu, Influenza A viruses are widespread and diverse in wild aquatic birds, which are Pig Flu, Equine Influenza, thought to be their natural hosts. Poultry are readily infected, and a limited number of Canine Influenza viruses have adapted to circulate in people, pigs, horses and dogs. In the mammals to which they are adapted, influenza A viruses usually cause respiratory illnesses with Last Full Review: February 2016 high morbidity but low mortality rates.7-29 More severe or fatal cases tend to occur mainly in conjunction with other diseases, debilitation or immunosuppression, as well as during infancy, pregnancy or old age; however, the risk of severe illness in healthy Author: humans can increase significantly during pandemics.7,9,11,12,14,20,30-47 Two types of Anna Rovid Spickler, DVM, PhD influenza viruses are maintained in birds. The majority of these viruses are known as low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) viruses. They usually infect birds asymptomatically or cause relatively mild clinical signs, unless the disease is 7,46,48-56 exacerbated by factors such as co-infections with other pathogens. However, some LPAI viruses can mutate to become highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses, which cause devastating outbreaks of systemic disease in chickens and turkeys, with morbidity and mortality rates as high as 90-100%.50-52 Although influenza A viruses are host-adapted, they may occasionally infect other species, and on rare occasions, a virus will change enough to circulate in a new host.
