#Hanta virus is, I think, not very infectious, comparted to #Measles #Chickenpox #Influenza #COVID *

In a previous emergency I was dubious about #vapes , as they emit a cloud of cool droplets from the lungs which goes a long way.

How far can someone blow a smoke ring, except without smoke - a vortex ring?

Just revisited these 2018 Cochrane systematic reviews on the efficacy of influenza vaccines. They are still current, perhaps because they were able to achieve moderate certainty on the estimated effects.

#Human #Infection with Highly Pathogenic Avian #Influenza #H5N5 Virus, https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2518178?af=R&rss=currentIssue

Influenza A virus genome sequencing of BAL specimen... confirmed HPAI H5N5 virus, Eurasian lineage clade 6 (EA6). Viral segment sequences had approximately 99% identity to contemporary HPAI A(H5N5) viruses without evidence of reassortment.

Serum #neutralisation of #H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b #influenza is largely mediated by #neuraminidase-directed #antibodies, https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(26)00086-8/fulltext

2/3 of adults tested had antibodies neutralising H5N1 suggesting that they could protect vs this virus. ... this cross-neutralising activity was mediated by N1 NA-directed abs, suggesting importance of NA in the design of future influenza vaccines.

#Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses Research #References (by AMEDEO, May 9 '26), https://etidiohnew.blogspot.com/2026/05/influenza-and-other-respiratory-viruses_9.html

Forscher der Universität São Paulo in Brasilien haben herausgefunden, dass hochfrequente Ultraschallwellen #Viren wie SARS-CoV-2 und H1N1 unschädlich machen können, ohne menschliche Zellen zu schädigen.

In einem in „Scientific Reports“ veröffentlichten Artikel beschreiben sie, wie dieses als akustische Resonanz bezeichnete Phänomen strukturelle Veränderungen an Viruspartikeln hervorruft, bis diese zerbrechen und inaktiviert werden.
