Influenza virusAlthough seasonal influenza viruses circulate globally, prevention and treatment occur at the level of regions, cities, and communities. At these scales, the timing, duration and magnitude of epidemics vary substantially, but the underlying causes of this variation are poorly understood. ...
Seasonal influenzais an acute viral infection that spreads easily from person to person. These viruses circulate worldwide and can affect anybody in any age group. Seasonal influenza is an acute viral infection caused by an influenza virus. There are 3 types of seasonal influenza viruses – A, ...
The most common factors that made healthcare workers unwilling to be vaccinated were lack of time, lack of knowledge about the vaccine and influenza virus, unawareness of availability of the vaccine and concerns about its side-effects. On the other hand, being vaccinated was significantly ...
The 2024–25 seasonal influenza vaccine doesn’t prevent H5N1 bird flu but could play a pivotal role in preventing a pandemic, the CDC says.
June 13, 2024 – The CDC has detected two human cases of influenza that are resistant to the most commonly used antiviral flu drug, known by the brand name Tamiflu. Laboratory tests showed that two U.S. samples of influenza virus carried two major mutations that came from the most common ...
East, South, and Southeast Asia (together referred to as Southeastern Asia hereafter) have been recognized as critical areas fuelling the global circulation of seasonal influenza. However, the seasonal influenza migration network within Southeastern Asia
The 11 proteins of influenza A and B viruses are en- coded by eight gene segments. Haemagglutinin and neuraminidase are expressed on the surface of the virus and are, respectively, required for entry to and release from the host cells.[2,9,13] The influenza A virus can infect a wide ...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, levels of seasonal influenza virus circulation were unprecedentedly low, leading to concerns that a lack of exposure to influenza viruses, combined with waning antibody titres, could result in larger and/or more severe post-
