This report describes the pattern of the spread of the pandemic H1N1 2009 and compares 3 monitoring tools until the 57th week or January 31, 2010. The 1st week was from December 28th, 2008 to January 3rd, 2009. A total of 740,835 patients were reported to be infected with pandemic H1N1 2009 and 225 patients were reported to have died of pandemic H1N1 2009. The number of patients aged from 7 to 12 was the largest (183,363 patients in total) but the virus spread and then was suppressed most quickly among the children between 13 and 18. The region-determinant incidence of patients showed diverse patterns according to regions. The peak of the ILI per thousand was at the 45th week, the number of antiviral prescriptions reached its peak at the 44th week, and the peak based on reported patients was the 46th week. As of February 3 2010, the outbreak passed through the peak and has gradually subsided. Now it is time for the government and the academic world to review this outbreak, efficacy of vaccination, and further preparation and response for the next pandemic.

Swine influenza virus (SIV) is a highly contagious pathogen that poses significant economic challenges to the swine industry and carries zoonotic potential, underscoring the need for vigilant surveillance. In this study, we performed a comprehensive genetic and molecular analysis of H3N2 SIV isolates obtained from 372 swine samples collected in Shandong Province, China. Phylogenetic analysis revealed two distinct genotypes.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Severe influenza, marked by excessive cytokine production, is a major contributor to death in hospitalized individuals. Fuzheng Jiedu decoction (FZJDD), an effective traditional Chinese herbal recipe, has demonstrated promising results in combating the COVID-19 pandemic by reducing mortality and improving Symptoms, and has exhibited anti-inflammatory properties in both clinical trials and laboratory research. Given that pneumonia is a common outcome of SARS-CoV-2 and H1N1 virus infections, we hypothesized that FZJDD may also have therapeutic effects on influenza-related pneumonia and acute lung injury (ALI).

Identifying broadly reactive B precursor cells and conserved epitopes is crucial for developing a universal flu vaccine. In this study, using influenza neuraminidase (NA) mutant probes, we find that human pre-existing NA-specific memory B cells (MBCs) account for ∼0.25% of total MBCs, which are heterogeneous and dominated by class-unswitched MBCs.

Influenza, a highly contagious respiratory infectious disease caused by an influenza virus, is a threat to public health worldwide. Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) have the potential to cause the next pandemic by crossing the species barrier through mutation of viral genome. Here, we investigated the pathogenicity of AIVs obtained from South Korea and Mongolia during 2018-2019 by measuring viral titers in the lungs and extrapulmonary organs of mouse models.

This report explores the potential of novel 6-aryloxy-2-aminopyrimidine-benzonitrile scaffolds as promising anti-infective agents in the face of the increasing threat of infectious diseases. Starting from 2-amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine, a series of 24 compounds inspired from the antiviral drugs dapivirine, etravirine, and rilpivirine were designed and synthesized via a two-step reaction sequence in good yields. Biological testing of synthetic analogs revealed potent inhibition against both viral and tuberculosis targets.
