Complications of any flu virus infection, although relatively rare, may resemble severe viral pneumonia or the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by a coronavirus strain) outbreak in 2002-2003, in which the disease spread to about 10 countries with over 7,000 cases, over 700 deaths,...
LPAI can mutate into highly pathogenic strains, making prompt outbreak management vital. 1.2 Transmission Recently, more wild bird and mammal species have been affected by HPAI viruses, which now show signs of adapting to mammals. Animal-to-human transmission has occurred occasionally, but no human...

Our focus in the following analyses is on estimation of influenza VE against hospitalizations associated with: (1) influenza A(H3N2) in the period November 2023 through March 2024; (2) influenza A(H1N1) in the period February 2024 through June 2024; (3) influenza B during the overall study...

"Influenza" is commonly known as "flu" caused by a single-stranded RNA virus. There are four types of Influenza viruses A, B, C and D, of which type A and B are mainly known to cause respiratory tract infection in humans, especially during the winter and post-monsoon season...
The global outbreak of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 highly pathogenic influenza A virus (HP H5N1) has had an unprecedented impact on wild birds including raptors, but long-term population impacts have not been addressed. To determine if raptors survive infections with HP H5N1, raptors from the upper ...
