Investigation of Swine Influenza Virus Genetic Diversity and Evolution
<p>Influenza A exists primarily in a waterfowl reservoir and readily infects numerous avian and mammalian species. In swine, numerous subtypes and antigenic lineages of swine influenza virus (SIV) co-circulate. The reassortment of viral RNA segments in cells infected by multiple viruses can lead to …

Epidemiology of Swine Influenza Virus in Cattle (Respiratory Diseases)
Various strains of influenza viruses have been isolated from ruminants and antibody responses detected by serological tests. The widespread occurrence of swine influenza virus (SIV) justifies studies to assess the importance of other animals that cohabitate with swine as potential reservoirs.

A porcine model for polymicrobial respiratory infections with swine influenza virus and Staphylococcus aureus
Influenza A virus (IAV) is a significant problem worldwide, and respiratory disease is further complicated by secondary bacterial infection. The emergence of highly pathogenic strains of IAV in conjunction with the increase of antibiotic-resistant bacteria threatens human health. A large-animal …

Influenza A Virus PB1-F2 Protein: its Role in Pathogenesis
Influenza A virus (IAV) causes annual seasonal epidemics and occasional pandemics resulting in significant levels of mortality and socio-economic costs worldwide. PB1-F2 is a small non-structural protein encoded by an alternate +1 open reading frame in the PB1 gene. PB1-F2 is considered to play …

The development of a novel vaccine against avian influenza H7N9 virus
Influenza A viruses (IAV) are classified into the Orthomyxoviridae family and are composed of segmented, negative-sense, single-stranded ribonucleic acid (ssRNA) genomes in an enveloped particle. IAV is capable of infecting a wide variety of species, including but not limited to humans, birds, …

Novel insights in the serodiagnosis and pathogenesis of swine influenza
Het varkensinfluenza virus veroorzaakt wereldwijd een respiratoire aandoening bij varkens die sterke gelijkenissen vertoont met influenza bij de mens. De belangrijkste doelstellingen van dit proefschrift waren ten eerste om in detail de respons van cytokines en acute fase eiwitten na een …
