[HealthMap Global Disease Alerts] PRO/AH/EDR> Influenza pandemic (H1N1 - Main ProMED-mail: Avian influenza has long been known to jump into swine, as well as people. Perhaps the question will come down to how we name the virus, .

[virology blog] Swine-origin influenza H1N1 as of now: Four deaths out of ten cases (from early in the recent Ukraine outbreak) all of which showed positive for the G225D mutation whilst the SIX SURVIVORS FROM THIS SAMPLE WERE NEGATIVE FOR THIS CHANGE is strong evidence of a putative causative relationship between increased virulence and viruses containing the G225D mutation. Your good at maths: what's the statistical probability that such an outcome would occur by chance alone?

[Monotreme's Blog] The polymerase basic protein 1 (PB1) gene of pandemic H1N1: N40 is a newly described protein of influenza A virus from the PB1 gene (Wise et al., 2009). It does not appear to be necessary for replication, but failure to produce it appears to impair the replication, under certain conditions.

[Latest articles from JAAPA: Official Journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants Clinical Watch] H1N1 in perspective: The clinical impact of a novel influenza A ...: On April 29, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a human influenza pandemic. The pandemic is the result of an influenza A virus that originated in pigs and has been categorized as a novel swine-origin influenza A(H1N1) virus (S-OIV).4 Although swine H1N1 viruses and human H1N1 viruses have been documented in the past, the term novel refers to a genetically unique influenza virus that transmitted from pig to human and is now able to transmit rapidly from human to human.5 The first cases of this novel S-OIV were discovered in Mexico and the United States in March and April 2009;

Perhaps it's better not to get the shot, one may think, because if everybody else is vaccinated, the virus will be wiped out before it reaches me.

There were at least 27 outbreaks in poultry of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza in Riau province Indonesia in 2008, and no information has been submitted to OIE on the H5N1 situation in 2009 -- see .

An -increased wave of infections such as one might expect at this time of year would—or indeed will—pose a challenge to the (limited) high-tech intensive care facilities in our healthcare system too, and one such as it has never seen before.

About 10,000 Americans have died from it, including 1,140 children, since April.

[virology blog] The D225G change in 2009 H1N1 influenza virus is not a concern: Based on these considerations, it could be hypothesized that the D225G change would allow the 2009 H1N1 virus to replicate deeper in the respiratory tract. But 2009 H1N1 virus without this amino acid change can already replicate deep in the respiratory tract of ferrets, and probably also in humans.

FSO Editorial ...: The man with the nickname “Dr Flu”, Professor Albert Osterhaus, of the Erasmus University in Rotterdam Holland has been named by Dutch media researchers as the person at the center of the worldwide Swine Flu H1N1 Influenza A 2009 pandemic hysteria. Not only is Osterhaus the connecting person in an international network that has been described as the Pharma Mafia, he is THE key advisor to WHO on influenza and is intimately positioned to personally profit from the billions of euros in vaccines allegedly aimed at H1N1.

RESULTS: Human H1N1-type IV, highly pathogenic avian IV (HPAIV) of the H5- and H7-types, as well as swine origin IV (S-OIV, H1N1), were all inactivated in cell culture assays by the EF preparation at concentrations ranging from the recommended dose for oral consumption to several orders of magnitude lower.

A subsequent study using an RP vaccine expressing the HA gene of a clade IV H3N2 SIV isolate confirmed that influenza HA RP vaccines given to swine are not only able to induce an antibody response, but also provide significant protection against a homologous viral challenge.
