Pathogenicity and transmissibility of reassortant H9 influenza viruses with genes from pandemic H1N1 virus
9 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
Both H9N2 avian influenza and 2009 pandemic H1N1 viruses (pH1N1) are able to infect humans and swine, which has raised concerns that novel reassortant H9 viruses with pH1N1 genes might be generated in these hosts by reassortment. Although previous studies have demonstrated that reassortant H9 viruses with pH1N1 genes show increased virulence in mice and transmissibility in ferrets, the virulence and...
