Neonatal influenza infection causes pathological changes in the mouse brain
Influenza A virus infections have been proposed to be associated with a broad spectrum of central nervous system complications that range from acute encephalitis/encephalopathy to neuropsychiatric disorders in humans. In order to study early influenza virus exposure in the brain, we created an influenza-infection model in neonatal mice to investigate infection route and resulting pathological c...
متن کاملMaternal influenza infection causes marked behavioral and pharmacological changes in the offspring.
Maternal viral infection is known to increase the risk for schizophrenia and autism in the offspring. Using this observation in an animal model, we find that respiratory infection of pregnant mice (both BALB/c and C57BL/6 strains) with the human influenza virus yields offspring that display highly abnormal behavioral responses as adults. As in schizophrenia and autism, these offspring display d...
متن کاملPathological changes in a patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome and H7N9 influenza virus infection
There are very few data regarding pathological changes in patients with severe pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) from avian influenza A (H7N9) virus. We present the case of a 73-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and prior cerebrovascular accident who was admitted to the hospital complaining of dyspnea, cough with scant hemoptysis, and fever. A history of live ...
متن کاملDecreased Na+ influx lowers hippocampal neuronal excitability in a mouse model of neonatal influenza infection
Influenza virus infection is one of common infectious diseases occurring worldwide. The human influenza virus can infect the central nervous system and cause brain dysfunctions affecting cognition and spatial memory. It has been previously shown that infection with the influenza viral protein within the hippocampus decreases Ca(2+) influx and reduces excitatory postsynaptic currents. However, t...
متن کاملExperimental Infection of Snakes with Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola Causes Pathological Changes That Typify Snake Fungal Disease
UNLABELLED Snake fungal disease (SFD) is an emerging skin infection of wild snakes in eastern North America. The fungus Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola is frequently associated with the skin lesions that are characteristic of SFD, but a causal relationship between the fungus and the disease has not been established. We experimentally infected captive-bred corn snakes (Pantherophis guttatus) in the la...
