Diversifying T-cell responses: safeguarding against pandemic influenza with mosaic nucleoprotein
Structurally convergent antibodies derived from different vaccine strategies target the influenza virus HA anchor epitope with a subset of VH3 and VK3 genes
Abstract H1N1 influenza viruses are responsible for both seasonal and pandemic influenza. The continual antigenic shift and drift of these viruses highlight the urgent need for a universal influenza vaccine to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). Identification and characterization of bnAbs elicited in natural infection and immunization to influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) can provide insights… Continue reading Structurally convergent antibodies derived from different vaccine strategies target the influenza virus HA anchor epitope with a subset of VH3 and VK3 genes
TWiV 1188: Clinical update with Dr. Daniel Griffin
In his weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin and Vincent Racaniello discuss changes in access to public health information, the Marburg and Ebola outbreaks in Africa, the largest tuberculosis outbreak in the US ever, the politicization of polio vaccine campaigns in Pakistan, effect of high pathogenic influenza in animals and on the economy before Dr. Griffin… Continue reading TWiV 1188: Clinical update with Dr. Daniel Griffin
The role of viral interaction in household transmission of symptomatic influenza and respiratory syncytial virus
Abstract The role of viral interaction—where one virus enhances or inhibits infection with another virus—in respiratory virus transmission is not well characterized. This study used data from 4029 total participants from 957 households who participated in a prospective household cohort study in Southeast Michigan, U.S.A to examine how viral coinfection and cocirculation may impact transmission… Continue reading The role of viral interaction in household transmission of symptomatic influenza and respiratory syncytial virus

[Newsdesk] Raw milk, bird flu, and the politicisation of public health
The US FDA announced an investigation into the presence of avian influenza virus in raw milk products as human infections rise and one death is reported. Cahal McQuillan reports.
Pasteurisation temperatures effectively inactivate influenza A viruses in milk
Abstract In late 2023 an H5N1 lineage of high pathogenicity avian influenza virus (HPAIV) began circulating in American dairy cattle Concerningly, high titres of virus were detected in cows’ milk, raising the concern that milk could be a route of human infection. Cows’ milk is typically pasteurised to render it safe for human consumption, but… Continue reading Pasteurisation temperatures effectively inactivate influenza A viruses in milk
Differences in clinical characteristics between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and influenza: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic has brought major challenges to the global health system, and influenza is also a problem that cannot be ignored. We aimed to explore and compare the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 and influenza to deepen the understanding of these two diseases and provide some guidance for clinicians to make… Continue reading Differences in clinical characteristics between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and influenza: a systematic review and meta-analysis
