  • The humoral immune response plays an important role in the defense against these viruses, providing protection mainly by producing antibodies directed against the hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein. (distantreader.org)

  • Antiviral medications with activity against influenza viruses are useful adjuncts in the prevention of influenza, and effective when used early in the course of illness for treatment. (web.app)
  • Neuraminidase inhibitors are again recommended as the first-line antiviral agents for the prevention of influenza rather than amantadine. (canada.ca)
  • The emergence of resistance to antiviral drugs in recent years further limits the options available for the control of influenza. (distantreader.org)
  • In immunocompromised persons, vaccinia may disseminate and cause severe disease. (medscape.com)
  • RNA-Seq analysis revealed that more severe disease in line W was associated with significant up-regulation of pathways involved in inflammation, cytoskeletal regulation by Rho GTPases, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor signaling, and Wnt signaling in the bursa compared to line 15I.

  • The unique property of some avian H10 viruses, particularly the ability to cause severe disease in mink without prior adaptation, enabled our study. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The Although all 8 RNA segments of the Spanish influenza factors that determine the interspecies transmission and virus have been sequenced, these sequences offer no pathogenicity of influenza viruses are still poorly under- explanation for the high virulence. (cdc.gov)
  • however, the HA protein plays an important role in exemplifies how the magnitude of a pandemic can be overcoming the interspecies barrier and in virulence in determined by the pathogenicity of the virus. (cdc.gov)
  • rize current knowledge of viral factors that determine host range restriction and pathogenicity of influenza A viruses. (cdc.gov)
  • Here we evaluated the replicative ability and pathogenicity of authentic infectious BA.2 isolates in immunocompetent and human ACE2-expressing mice and hamsters. (nature.com)
