"Human-Swine Influenza: A Growing Concern for Cross-Species Transmission"

A study has found that the strain of influenza A responsible for the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, known as pdm09, has passed from humans to swine approximately 370 times since 2009. The circulation of pdm09 among swine has led to the evolution of variants that can then jump back to infect humans. The analysis also revealed that controlling influenza A infection in humans can help prevent transmission to pigs and reduce the risk of spread back to humans.

Unveiling the Zoonotic Threat: BTN3A3 Evasion Boosts Influenza A Virus Potential

A study has found that BTN3A3 evasion promotes the zoonotic potential of influenza A viruses. The researchers analyzed alignments and raw phylogenetic data related to the study, which can be found in a GitHub repository. They also provided source data for the animal experiments conducted. The study highlights the importance of understanding viral factors and host immune responses in assessing the risk of influenza pandemics.
