«The influenza field is largely fixated on studying pandemic or potential pandemic viruses, but those viruses only infect a few dozen people every year whereas seasonal flu infects millions — and yet we don't study human influenzas closely enough.»

Using virus histochemical analysis, the investigators looked at the pattern of attachment of two genetically engineered emerging H7 viruses (containing the hemagglutinin (HA) of either influenza virus A / Shanghai / 1 / 13 or A / Anhui / 1 / 13) to fixed human respiratory tract tissues and compared the findings to attachment patterns seen with human influenza viruses with high transmissibility but low virulence (seasonal H3N2 and pandemic H1N1) and highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses with low transmissibility and high virulence (H5N1 and H7N7).

Currently, seasonal flu vaccines are designed to induce high levels of protective antibodies against hemagglutinin (HA), a protein found on the surface of the influenza virus that enables the virus to enter a human cell and initiate infection.

The vaccines targeted an influenza A H1N1 seasonal flu strain as well as A (H7N9), a virus considered to have the potential to trigger a human pandemic.

Using X-ray crystallography, performed at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, Cusack and colleagues were able to determine the atomic structure of the whole polymerase from two strains of influenza: influenza B, one of the strains that cause seasonal flu in humans, but which evolves slowly and therefore isn't considered a pandemic threat; and the strain of influenza A — the fast - evolving strain that affects humans, birds and other animals and can cause pandemics — that infects bats.

Four influenza virus lineages co-circulate in the human population to cause seasonal epidemics.

Seasonal influenza is a serious respiratory disease that causes annual epidemics in humans worldwide, resulting in about three to five million cases of severe illness and about 250,000 to 500,000 deaths, according to the World Health Organization.

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.

A trivalent inactivated seasonal influenza vaccine (TIV) used in humans will be compared directly in mice, ferrets and pigs.

Influenza A virus (IAV) and influenza B virus (IBV) are responsible for seasonal epidemics of respiratory illness amonInfluenza A virus (IAV) and influenza B virus (IBV) are responsible for seasonal epidemics of respiratory illness amoninfluenza B virus (IBV) are responsible for seasonal epidemics of respiratory illness among humans.

Sinovac Biotech Ltd. is biopharmaceutical company that focuses on research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of vaccines that protect against human infectious diseases including hepatitis A and B, seasonal influenza, H5N1 pandemic influenza and mumps, as well as animal rabies vaccine.

Canine H3N2 influenza virus is different than the human H3N2 influenza virus that is a common seasonal flu virus in people.

You should note that canine influenza is not seasonal, like the human flu, and can be contracted year - round.

«Unlike human influenza, this virus is not seasonal, so it can be contracted at any time of the year,» Nelson said in a university news release.
