Oseltamivir and antiviral agents are frequently used for the prevention and treatment of influenza infection. However, resistance to oseltamivir has been reported globally due to a mutation in the Influenza virus neuraminidase gene. Such resistance will be detected by genotyping and phenotyping studies of viral isolates. The recent study aimed to determine the genetic mutation of neuraminidase gene in influenza A (H1N1) viruses isolated from children referred to Shiraz tertiary hospitals during 1 year (2015-2016) with influenza-like symptoms. A total of 300 patients were registered and throat samples were taken. The throat swabs were used for viral RNA extraction. Detection of influenza A (H1N1) was performed using the one-step real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) method. From positive isolates for H1N1, 51 random samples were evaluated for neuraminidase gene mutation with the nested PCR-sequencing method. Of 300 cases, 102 (34%) isolates were detected as influenza A (H1N1) pdm09. Based on sequencing results, 2 of the 44 sequenced isolates exhibited H275Y substitution, which presented oseltamivir resistance. In comparison with reference strain, the phylogenetic analysis of sequenced isolates was classified in genogroup 6B. While this result is the first report of emerging oseltamivir-resistant in the southwest of Iran, it is highly recommended to perform these evaluations on the different geographical regions in any prevalence area to plan treatment strategies for influenza.

Currently, immunization with inactivated influenza virus vaccines is the most prevalent method to prevent infections. However, licensed influenza vaccines provide only strain-specific protection and need to be updated and administered yearly; thus, new vaccines that provide broad protection against multiple influenza subtypes are required. In this study, we demonstrated that intradermal immunization with gp96-adjuvanted seasonal influenza monovalent H1N1 split vaccine could induce cross-protection against both group 1 and group 2 influenza A viruses in BALB/c mice models.

Newcastle disease is a highly contagious viral infection affecting many species of birds that can spread fast between poultry houses and cause a heavy economic burden on the poultry industry all around the world. Fusion and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein are important in the pathogenesis of the Newcastle disease virus (NDV). The HN protein is a critical viral protein with multiple functions and plays a key role in the formation of the virulence of NDV. Read More

Recombinant influenza A viral (IAV) vectors are potential to stimulate systemic and mucosal immunity, but the packaging capacity is limited and only one or a few epitopes can be carried. Here, we report the generation of a replication-competent IAV vector that carries a full-length HIV-1 gene linked to the 5'-terminal coding region of the segment via a protease cleavage sequence (IAV-p24). IAV-p24 was successfully rescued and stably propagated, and P24 protein was efficiently expressed in infected mammalian cells. Read More

TLR4 activates two distinct signaling pathways involving adaptors MyD88 and TRIF to produce proinflammatory cytokines and type-I interferon respectively. How suppresses these pathways is not well studied. We earlier reported, TLR4 is hypersialylated due to reduced membrane-bound neuraminidase (Neu1) on infected-macrophages. Read More
