  1. Highly pathogenic avian #influenza #H5 virus exposure in #goats and #sheep biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/

    We conducted a serological #survey for binding #antibodies to flu A & B in goats (n=452) & sheep (n=329) in #Pakistan & found high seropositive rates for HA of avian influenza A #H5 (23.9-34.0%), #H7 (13.9-37.1%), & #H9 (17.0-34.7%). In contrast, there were low levels of seropositivity against HA of human & swine pandemic #H1N1/pdm09 (0.9-1.8%) in goats and against swine H3 (0.6%) in sheep.

  2. Proposal for a #Global #Classification and #Nomenclature #System for A/ #H9 #Influenza Viruses, Emerg Infect Dis.: wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/8

    ...an international group of experts from animal and public health laboratories, endorsed by the #WOAH/FAO Network of Expertise on Animal Influenza, has created a practical lineage classification and nomenclature system based on the analysis of 10,638 #hemagglutinin #sequences from A/H9 AIVs sampled worldwide.

    We collected pooled fecal swabs from 225 farms and tested the samples for the AIV matrix gene followed by #H5, #H7, and #H9 subtyping using rRT-PCR. We found that 39.6% of chicken farms were AIV positive, with 13% and 14% being positive for subtypes H5 and H9, respectively.

  4. #Influenza #antibody breadth and effector functions are immune correlates from acquisition of #pandemic #infection of #children pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/386150

    Prospective baseline antibody profiles after seasonal #vaccination, prior to #pH1N1 infection, show that unvaccinated uninfected children have elevated ADCC effector function, FcγR3a and FcγR2a binding antibodies to multiple pH1N1 proteins, past seasonal and avian (#H5, #H7 and #H9) strains
