Molecular characterization of influenza viruses circulating in Northern Italy during two seasons (2005/2006 and 2006/2007) of low influenza activity.

30 Oct 2008 The influenza activity and circulation of influenza viruses in Lombardy (the most populous Italian region) were observed during two consecutive seasons (2005/2006 and 2006/2007) characterized by low influenza activity by the Italian Influenza ... Read more...

Lack of cross-immune reactivity against influenza H5N1 from seasonal influenza vaccine in humans.

30 Oct 2008 In a small pilot study, sera from 10 healthy human volunteers were taken pre-vaccine, then 1, 3, and 6 months post-seasonal influenza immunization (using the 2005/2006 Northern hemisphere vaccine: A/New Caledonia/20/99(H1N1)-like, ... Read more...

Rurality and pandemic influenza: geographic heterogeneity in the risks of infection and death in Kanagawa, Japan (1918-1919).

15 Oct 2008 AIM: To characterise the impact of rurality on the spread of pandemic influenza by exploring both the numbers of cases and deaths in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, from October 1918 to April 1919 inclusive. METHOD: In addition to the numbers of ... Read more...
