Influenza virus is an infectious agent belonging to the virus family Orthomyxoviridae that causes a respiratory tract infection (influenza or 'flu') in vertebrates. There are three main species, and of these, influenza A viruses cause the most virulent infections in humans and are also a common ...
Virusesareinfectious, meaning they often cause symptoms that allow fluids with copies of thevirusto spread to other organisms. For example, if you have the flu and cough on another person, yourvirus-containing saliva and mucus will enter the other person’s body and allow thevirusto infect the...
Influenza (often abbreviated to flu) is a highlyinfectious airborne diseasecaused by the influenza virus. There are four genus's of influenza virus, of which three genus's (A, B and C) can infect humans (Paules and Subbarao, 2017). Influenza virus D genus has never been reported...
Recombinant protein and VLP-based subunit vaccines have a large and consolidated track record of being safe and efficacious in all population segments, ranging from newborns (hepatitis B) to the elderly (flu), and the production of flavivirus-like particles (FVLPs) has been widely investigated ...
Interestingly, when using bacterially produced VLPs to immunize human subjects in a Phase I clinical trial, non-adjuvanted VLPs conferred a similar level of immunogenicity and safety profile comparable to that of commercialized vaccines, whereas adjuvanted vaccines failed to meet the pre-determined ...
Is Zika Similar to Other Mosquito-Borne Illnesses, Such as Dengue Fever, Chikungunya, or West Nile Virus? All can cause a variety of flu-like symptoms that range in severity and can last from a few days to more than a week. As with Zika, few people infected with dengue or West Nile ...
infected cells[5]. To date 16 HA subtypes and nine NA subtypes have been identified (Figure 1), and the different reassorted combinations are used to name the viruses, for example, the common seasonal fluviruses H1N1,H2N2,H3N2, and the sporadic human infections withH5N1and the recentH7N9[9...
Harry is a flu virus and he is a dangerous little guy. Besides, Sam ate all his vegetables today. He’s exercising, and he’s getting eight hours of sleep every night. His body is too strong for me. Thursday, January 24thI tried to infect Sam again today, but be washed his hands ...
The adaptive immune response to influenza virus infection is multifaceted and complex, involving antibody and cellular responses at both systemic and mucosal levels. Immune responses to natural infection with influenza virus in humans are relatively broad and long-lived, but influenza viruses can escape...
Human beings will face similar challenges in the future, because a pandemic could break out in any country or region at any time. In order to more smoothly contain a pandemic in the future, the world needs to learn valuable lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic. ...
