A Study of the Neurotropic Tendency in Strains of the Virus of Epidemic Influenza
The demonstration by Stuart-Harris that the W.S. strain of epidemic influenza virus can induce a fatal nervous disease in mice has been confirmed. In contrast, however, no previous period of adaptation to chick embryonic brain was required. By serial brain to brain passages in mice originally inoculated with the virus cultivated in the usual chick embryo culture medium a fatal disease, essentia...
متن کاملModeling competition between two influenza strains
We use spatial and non spatial models to argue that competition alone may explain why two influenza strains do not usually coexist during a given flu season. The more virulent strain is likely to crowd out the less virulent one. This can be seen as a consequence of the Exclusion Principle of Ecology. We exhibit, however, a spatial model for which coexistence is possible.
متن کاملEmergence and dynamics of influenza super-strains
BACKGROUND Influenza super-strains can emerge through recombination of strains from birds, pigs, and humans. However, once a new recombinant strain emerges, it is not clear whether the strain is capable of sustaining an outbreak. In certain cases, such strains have caused major influenza pandemics. METHODS Here we develop a multi-host (i.e., birds, pigs, and humans) and multi-strain model of ...
متن کاملQuantitative Aspects of Homologous and Heterologous Active Immunity to Strains of the Virus of Epidemic Influenza
When mice are immunized by one intraperitoneal inoculation with active or inactive influenza virus (strain PR8, W.S., and Melbourne) the quantity required for protection against heterologous strains is about 10 times the homologous minimal immunizing dose. Three injections increase the immunity to all strains, but the ratio between the homologous and heterologous minimal immunizing dose is not ...
متن کاملDetermination of Predominance of Influenza Virus Strains in the Americas
During 2001-2014, predominant influenza A(H1N1) and A(H3N2) strains in South America predominated in all or most subsequent influenza seasons in Central and North America. Predominant A(H1N1) and A(H3N2) strains in North America predominated in most subsequent seasons in Central and South America. Sharing data between these subregions may improve influenza season preparedness.
