Animal influenza virus surveillance.

چکیده
Influenza surveillance studies in humans and animals performed for many years have provided a wealth of data on the ecology and evolution of influenza viruses and their public health related and economical impact. Here we provide a brief overview of some of the data from the past and give our view on how the continued and intensified animal influenza virus surveillance may aid in the early recognition and management of outbreaks in the future.

The humoral immunization potential of panax ginseng polysaccharide (GPS) against H9N2 avian influenza virus (H9N2 AIV) in chickens was investigated. The effects of GPS treatment before and during H9N2 AIV infection were determined in chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) by MTT (3(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 3-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assays and quantitative RT-PCR analysis of MHC and cytokine...
متن کاملWeighing serological evidence of human exposure to animal influenza viruses − a literature review
Assessing influenza A virus strains circulating in animals and their potential to cross the species barrier and cause human infections is important to improve human influenza surveillance and preparedness. We reviewed studies describing serological evidence of human exposure to animal influenza viruses. Comparing serological data is difficult due to a lack of standardisation in study designs an...
