#Origin, #pathogenicity, and #transmissibility of a #human isolated #influenza A(#H10N3) virus from #China, Emerg Microbes Infect.: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10

Human isolated H10N3 also showed respiratory #droplet #transmissibility in #ferrets. Considering continuous circulation in avian populations and repeated transmission to humans, strengthened #surveillance of H10 subtype viruses in poultry should be put into effect.

#Influenza A(#H5N1) shedding in #air corresponds to #transmissibility in #mammals

Source: Nature Microbiology, AbstractAn increase in spillover events of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses to mammals suggests selection of viruses that transmit well in mammals. Here we use air-sampling devices to continuously sample infectious influenza viruses expelled by experimentally infected ferrets. The resulting quantitative virus shedding kinetics data resembled…

Dual #receptor-binding, #infectivity, and #transmissibility of an emerging #H2N2 low pathogenicity avian #influenza virus

Source: Nature Communications, AbstractThe 1957 H2N2 influenza pandemic virus has disappeared from humans since 1968, while H2N2 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) are still circulating in birds. It is necessary to reveal the recurrence risk and potential cross-species infection of these AIVs from avian to mammals. We find that H2 AIVs circulating in…

#Pathogenicity and #transmissibility of #bovine #H5N1 #influenza virus, Nature: nature.com/articles/s41586-024

Importantly, bovine HPAI H5N1 virus bound to #sialic acids expressed in #human upper #airways and inefficiently transmitted to exposed ferrets (one of four exposed ferrets seroconverted without virus detection). Bovine HPAI H5N1 virus thus possesses features that may facilitate #infection and #transmission in #mammals.

#Characterization of a #human #H3N8 #influenza virus pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/384083

-- INTERPRETATION: Our data demonstrate that reverse genetics-generated A/Henan/2022 virus is a low pathogenic influenza virus (of #avian influenza virus descent) with some #antigenic resemblance to older human #H3N2 viruses and limited respiratory #droplet #transmissibility in #ferrets.

Outright, undeniable lies by #JeaninePirro (aka Judge Box-Wine). It is an objective fact that the #COVID #vaccine is effective at reducing the severity of a COVID #infection, and reducing the #transmissibility of the #virus. That's what the empirical data shows. For her to claim otherwise is an overt and intentional lie made to advance a particular political #agenda, and without regard for the consequences of spreading malinformation on a consequential platform.

People aren’t taking this seriously’: experts say US Covid surge is big risk

In the fourth #year of the pandemic, #Covid-19 is once again spreading across #America and being driven by the recent holidays, fewer precautions and the continuing evolution of Omicron #subvariants of the virus.
New sub-variants are causing concern for their #increased #transmissibility.

''#BQ1 and #XBB are new #subvariants of #Omicron which have become the dominant strains in some overseas countries and regions for their increased #transmissibility and immune escape capacity. ''
