Influenza virus is a seasonal respiratory pathogen that produces global pandemics by genome reassortments. This rapid evolution creates difficulty in producing vaccines. Although several anti-influenza drugs have been developed, acquisition of drug resistance viruses common. Therefore, it important to develop novel therapeutic and prophylactic strategies. In this study, we evaluated the antivir...

Background: The H9N2 subtype of influenza A viruses is considered to be widespread in poultry industry. Adamantane is a group of antiviral agents which is effective both in prevention and treatment of influenza A virus infections. These drugs inhibit M2 protein ion channel which has role on viral replication. OBJECTIVES: The main objective of this study is to evaluate M gene of avian influenza ...

BACKGROUND: Avian influenza (AI) viruses have been isolated from a wide diversity of free-living avian species representing several orders. Since 1998, H9N2 AI outbreaks have been one of the major problems in Iranian poultry industry. In 2006, H5N1 was reported in swans in the north of Iran first , but until now there has been no official report from commercial flocks in Iran. OBJECTIVES: The...
