Despite decades of surveillance and pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions,
seasonal influenza viruses continue to cause epidemics around the world each year. The …

Most mathematical models used to study the dynamics of influenza A have thus far focused
on the between-host population level, with the aim to inform public health decisions …

Avian A/H5N1 influenza viruses pose a pandemic threat. As few as five amino acid
substitutions, or four with reassortment, might be sufficient for mammal-to-mammal …

Influenza accounts for 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness and up to 300,000 deaths
annually. Cardiovascular involvement in acute influenza infection can occur through direct …

Biological membranes define the boundaries of cells and compartmentalize the chemical
and physical processes required for life. Many biological processes are carried out by …

Background Many details in cell culture-derived influenza vaccine production are still poorly
understood and approaches for process optimization mainly remain empirical. More insights …

Influenza A virus is an important respiratory pathogen that poses a considerable threat to
public health each year during seasonal epidemics and even more so when a pandemic …

Avian influenza viruses have adapted to human hosts, causing pandemics in humans. The
key host-specific amino acid mutations required for an avian influenza virus to function in …

Although the influenza A virus has been extensively studied, a quantitative understanding of
the infection dynamics is still lacking. To make progress in this direction, we designed …

Rapid and simultaneous detection of multiple potential pathogens by portable devices can
facilitate early diagnosis of infectious diseases, and allow for rapid and effective …
