H5N1 avian flu strain jumps to seals in Quebec, raising zoonotic fears

In a recent early-release article published in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researchers investigate and describe the unusual mortality of a cohort of gray (Halichoerus grypus) and harbor (Phoca vitulina) seals infected by a highly pathogenic strain (clade 2.3.4.4b) of the avian influenza (HPAI) A (H5N1) virus. The mortality […]

New vaccine approach shows promise in targeting less variable region of influenza virus

Duke researchers have opened a new avenue in the attack against influenza viruses by creating a vaccine that encourages the immune system to target a portion of the virus surface that is less variable. Their approach worked well in experiments with mice and ferrets and may lead to more broadly-protective influenza vaccines and less reliance […]

Previously unrecognized class of antibodies can broadly neutralize multiple virus strains

Researchers have identified a previously unrecognized class of antibodies-;immune system proteins that protect against disease-;that appear capable of neutralizing multiple forms of flu virus. These findings, which could contribute to development of more broadly protective flu vaccines, will publish December 21st by Holly Simmons of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, US, and colleagues […]

New insights into why obesity puts individuals at risk for severe influenza

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers used blood and airway sampling of morbidly obese individuals and murine models to elucidate the mechanisms underpinning severe cases of influenza among the obese population. Study: Obesity dysregulates the pulmonary antiviral immune response. Image Credit: Jarun Ontakrai/Shutterstock.com Background Their findings reveal that obesity induces deficits in […]
