Gaultheria procumbens L. is a polyphenolic-rich medicinal and food plant. Its leaves, stems, and fruits are traditional anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antioxidant, and antimicrobial herbal ...
Influenza virus neuraminidase (NA) can act as a receptor-binding protein, a role commonly attributed to hemagglutinin (HA). In influenza A(H3N2) viruses, three NA amino acid residues have pr...
Vaccination for influenza is strongly recommended for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to their immunocompromised state. Identifying risk factors for not receiving an influenza v...
Influenza vaccination is recommended for healthcare workers (HCWs). However, in a 1500-bed tertiary care university hospital in France, influenza vaccine coverage among HCWs was 23% in 2017....
Schlafen (SLFN) proteins are a subset of interferon-stimulated early response genes with antiviral properties. An antiviral mechanism of SLFN11 was previously demonstrated in human immunodef...
Increasing immunization assessments and influenza vaccination at community-based adult services centers would benefit older adults at higher risk for severe infection. “Medicare-Med...
Survival and pulmonary recuperation following Influenza A (IAV) infection requires a well-orchestrated balance between pro-inflammatory and regulatory cells of the immune response. IL-18, a ...
For pregnant women, vaccination with inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) and tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) is recommended. In Peru, uptake is nonetheless low. A stu...
Exchange of viral segments between one or more influenza virus subtypes can contribute to a shift in virulence and adaptation to new hosts. Among several influenza subtypes, H9N2 is widely c...
The prevalence and contribution of cardiotropic viruses to various expressions of heart failure are increasing, yet primarily underappreciated and underreported due to variable clinical synd...
Serological surveys are used to ascertain influenza infection and immunity, but evidence for the utility of mucosal immunoglobulin A (IgA) as a correlate of infection or protection is limite...
The Australian black swan (Cygnus atratus) is an iconic species with contrasting plumage to that of the closely related northern hemisphere white swans. The relative geographic isolation of ...
Zoonotic diseases have huge livestock and public health burden worldwide, including India. Prioritizing zoonotic diseases is one of the important tasks under 'One Health' as it facilitates e...
Vaccine-related medication errors can occur at each step of the vaccination process: prescribing, dispensing, preparation, administration, monitoring, transport, and storage. We aimed to des...
Influenza A virus (IAV) is the most widespread pathogen causing human respiratory infections. Although polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods are currently the mostcommonly used tools...
All seasonal influenza vaccines for 2021-2022 in the US were quadrivalent and the market continues to be dominated by intramuscular delivery of non-adjuvanted, virion-derived antigens grown ...
Molecular mechanisms of the non-structural protein 1 (NS1) in influenza A-induced pathological changes remain ambiguous. This study explored the pathogenesis of human infection by influenza ...
The influenza M2 protein forms a drug-targeted tetrameric proton channel to mediate virus uncoating and carries out membrane scission to mediate virus release. While the proton channel funct...
Sendai virus (SeV, formally murine respirovirus) is a membrane-enveloped, negative sense RNA virus in the Paramyxoviridae family, and is closely related to human parainfluenza viruses. SeV h...
Previous studies have established that patients aged 65 and older with COPD are at elevated risk for influenza-associated complications, such as hospitalization, ICU admissions, and death. G...
