Influenza viruses have threatened animals and public health systems continuously. Moreover, there are many subtypes of influenza viruses, which have brought great difficulties to the classification of influenza viruses during any influenza outbreak. So it is crucial to develop a rapid and accurate method for detecting and subtyping influenza viruses. In this work, we reported a rapid method for simultaneously detecting and subtyping multiple influenza viruses (H1N1, H3N2 and H9N2) based on nucleic acid hybridization on a microfluidic chip integrated with controllable micro-magnetic field. H1N1, H3N2 and H9N2 could be simultaneously detected in 80min with detection limits about 0.21nM, 0.16nM, 0.12nM in order. Moreover, the sample and reagent consumption was as low as only 3μL. The results indicated that this approach possessed fast analysis and high specificity. Therefore, it is expected to be used to simultaneously subtype and detect multiple targets, and may provide a powerful technique platform for the rapid detection and subtyping analysis of influenza viruses.

Migratory water birds are considered to be carriers of high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs). In Japan, mallards are often observed during winter, and HPAIV-infected mallards often shed viruses asymptomatically. In this study, we focused on mallards as potential carriers of HPAIVs and investigated whether individual wild mallards are repeatedly infected with HPAIVs and act as HPAIV carriers multiple times within a season.

Background: The morbidity and mortality associated with influenza viruses are a significant public health challenge. Annual vaccination against circulating influenza strains reduces hospitalisations and increases survival rates but requires a yearly redesign of vaccines against prevalent subtypes. The complex genetics of influenza viruses with high antigenic drift create an ongoing challenge in vaccine development to address dynamic influenza epidemiology.

Background: Vaccination is a key measure in influenza control, yet global coverage rates remain low, although previous research reported an increase in influenza vaccination coverage rates (VCR) after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to assess whether these changes were sustained over time by analyzing VCR trends from 2012 to 2023 in the countries included in the FluCov project.
Methods: Data on influenza VCR from 2012 to 2023 for different age and risk groups were extracted from national health organizations and international sources for countries included in the FluCov project.

Non-canonical nucleic acid structures play significant roles in cellular processes through selective interactions with proteins. While both natural and artificial G-quadruplexes have been extensively studied, the functions of i-motifs remain less understood. This study investigates the artificial aptamer BV42, which binds strongly to influenza A virus hemagglutinin and unexpectedly retains its i-motif structure even at neutral pH.

A/Vietnam/1203/2004 replicated most efficiently, followed by A/Texas/37/2024, then A/bovine/Ohio/B24OSU-342/2024. Induction of interferon-stimulated genes was lower with A/Texas/37/2024 and A/bovine/Ohio/B24OSU-342/2024, which may indicate a reduced disease severity of those viruses.
