This report summarizes U.S. influenza activity* during October 2, 2016-February 4, 2017, and updates the previous summary (1). Influenza activity in the United States began to increase in mid-December, remained elevated through February 4, 2017, and is expected to continue for several more weeks. To date, influenza A (H3N2) viruses have predominated overall, but influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 and influenza B viruses have also been identified.

Analysis of spatial and temporal aggregation of influenza cases in Quzhou before and after COVID-19 pandemic.

Infectious disease Control Department, Quzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.
Background: The global seasonal influenza activity has decreased during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), such as reducing gatherings and wearing masks, can have varying impacts on the spread of influenza. We aim to analyse the basic characteristics, epidemiology and space-time clustering of influenza in Quzhou city before and after the COVID-19 pandemic based on five years of surveillance data.

Maternal gut microbiota composition contributes to the status of the neonatal immune system and could influence the early life higher susceptibility to viral respiratory infections. Using a novel protocol of murine maternal probiotic supplementation, we report that perinatal exposure to () or () increases the influenza A/PR8 virus (IAV) clearance in neonates. Following either supplementation, type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1) were amplified in the lymph nodes leading to an enhanced IAV antigen-experienced IFN-γ producing effector CD8 T cells in neonates and IAV-specific resident memory CD8 T cells in adulthood.

Ecosystem Change and Population Health Research Group, School of Public Health and Social Work, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia. Electronic address:
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, seasonal influenza virus circulation was heavily suppressed worldwide. In Australia, since the virus re-emerged in 2022, shifts in seasonal influenza patterns have been observed. Both the 2022 and 2023 seasons started earlier than pre-pandemic norms and were categorised as moderate to severe, highlighting the renewed importance of prevention strategies for seasonal influenza.

Department of Ophthalmology, University of Health Sciences, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Purpose: To evaluate the role of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, Serratia marcescens, and Moraxella catarrhalis in the nasal and ocular surface flora, along with their metabolic activities in children with unilateral congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO).
Methods: Swabs were taken from the bilateral inferior meatus and ocular surface of 26 children with unilateral CNLDO before probing. Nasal and ocular surface swabs from non-operated eyes of children who underwent unilateral blepharoptosis or strabismus surgery formed the control group.

The investigation of new strategies to prevent acute viral respiratory infections(ARI) is essential for reducing the global disease burden. Genetic association studies are valuable in identifying the susceptibility risk factors for diseases, and genetic evidence can expedite drug approval. To date, few studies have been conducted to reveal the susceptibility risks of ARI and identify novel drug targets through multi-omics genetic association analysis.
