Sentences with phrase «human influenza h1n1»

Nelson and her colleagues found that flu in pigs «follows long - distance swine movements from the southern U.S. to the Midwest,» with most of the human - origin H1N1 arriving at Midwest hog farms coming from the Southeast, and most of the swine - origin H1N2 coming from the south - central U.S. And that means the Midwest, as the final destination for many of these pigs, is «likely to provide a reservoir for multiple genetically distinct variants to co-circulate and exchange segments via re-assortment because of the continual importation of swine influenza viruses from other regions,» the researchers noted.

All influenza viruses ultimately come from birds, and the paper begins the somewhat operatic and knotty story of this outbreak's origins with an H1N1 first isolated in swine in 1930, which itself was a close relative of the virus that caused the 1918 pandemic in humans.

When they delivered this virus into the noses of mice and ferrets, the animals» epithelial cells produced the desired antibodies; they then «challenged» the animals with a range of dangerous influenza viruses that no single vaccine can outwit, including H5N1, which kills both birds and humans, and the H1N1 that caused the infamous 1918 pandemic.

Unfortunately, we have already seen certain trading partners implement trading restrictions based of the detection of H1N1 influenza virus in humans.

The virus, the result of a reassortment of four strains of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 (one endemic in humans, one in birds, and two in pigs), has claimed around a hundred lives and been reported in over 50 countries.

The virus did not appear to spread from human to human but once again proved that the triple - reassortant swine influenzas — a family the novel H1N1 belongs to — are unusually promiscuous and need to be watched carefully.

At the outset, no one could predict that the novel H1N1 virus — a recombination of human, pig, and avian influenza genes — would turn out to be more wimp than monster.

The never - before - described virus did not involve the novel H1N1 but instead picked up the surface genes from the seasonal human H1N1 virus that has long infected humans and combined them with what's known as the triple - reassortant swine influenza.

But a new report from Hong Kong, which conducts the world's most comprehensive surveillance of influenza viruses in pigs, has described the first instance of a swine virus picking up a gene from the novel H1N1 circulating in humans.

Chiu pointed to a number of serious and unexpected animal - to - human disease transmissions over the last 10 years, including SARS in 2003, the H1N1 influenza in 2009, and the current outbreak of H7N9 avian influenza, which already has resulted in more than 20 deaths in China.

The human influenza virus H1N1 that caused the 2009 flu pandemic, and H9N2, an avian influenza virus that is endemic in bird populations in Asia, are close cousins — close enough that they can swap genes if they find themselves in the same cell, resulting in new viruses that are a patchwork of the parent strains.

CDC researchers took ferrets never infected with an influenza virus and injected them with this year's vaccine, which has an H1N1 component of human, not swine, origin.
