Alternative Reassortment Events Leading to Transmissible H9N1 Influenza Viruses in the Ferret Model
17 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Influenza A H9N2 viruses are common poultry pathogens that occasionally infect swine and humans. It has been shown previously with H9N2 viruses that reassortment can generate novel viruses with increased transmissibility. Here, we demonstrate the modeling power of a novel transfection-based inoculation system to select reassortant viruses under in vivo selective pressure. Plasmids containing the genes from an...
