Bibliometric analysis of publication trends and topics of influenza ‐related encephalopathy from 2000 to 2022
ConclusionsThe research progress, hotspots, and frontiers on influenza-related encephalopathy after 2000 were described through the visualization of bibliometrics. The findings will lay the groundwork for future studies and provide a reference for influenza-related encephalopathy. Research on influenza-related encephalopathy is basically at a stable stage, and the number of research results is related to outbreaks of the influenza virus.

Efficient trapping and destruction of SARS-CoV-2 using PECO-assisted Molekule air purifiers in the laboratory and real-world settings
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2023 Sep 18;264:115487. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115487. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is transmitted human-to-human via aerosols and air-borne droplets. Therefore, capturing and destroying viruses from indoor premises are essential to reduce the probability of human exposure and virus transmission. While the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems help in reducing the indoor viral load, a targeted approach is required to effectively remove SARS-CoV-2 from indoor air to address human exposure concerns. The present study...

Evaluation the effect of dietary vitamin E, sesamin and thymoquinone bioactive compounds on immunological response, intestinal traits and MUC-2 gene expression in broiler Japanese quails ( < em > Coturnix japonica < /em > )
Anim Biotechnol. 2023 Sep 20:1-11. doi: 10.1080/10495398.2023.2259437. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe current study was performed to determine the effect of dietary vitamin E, sesamin and thymoquinone bioactive lignans derived from sesame and black seed on immunological response, intestinal traits and Mucin2 gene expression in broiler quails. Three hundred and fifty (one days-old) quails were allotted to seven dietary treatments with five replicates as an experimental randomized design study. Treatments were basal diet as a control, control +100 and +200 mg of vitamin E, sesamin and thymoquinone per each kg of diet resp...

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1956: The Influenza B Virus Victoria and Yamagata Lineages Display Distinct Cell Tropism and Infection-Induced Host Gene Expression in Human Nasal Epithelial Cell Cultures
n Andrew Pekosz Understanding Influenza B virus infections is of critical importance in our efforts to control severe influenza and influenza-related diseases. Until 2020, two genetic lineages of influenza B virus&amp;mdash;Yamagata and Victoria&amp;mdash;circulated in the population. These lineages are antigenically distinct, but the differences in virus replication or the induction of host cell responses after infection have not been carefully studied. Recent IBV clinical isolates of both lineages were obtained from influenza surveillance efforts of the Johns Hopkins Center of Excellence in Influenza Resear...

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1955: Seasonal Occurrence of African Swine Fever in Wild Boar and Domestic Pigs in EU Member States
Sauter-Louis Since 2007, African swine fever (ASF) has spread widely within Europe and beyond. Most affected countries recorded outbreaks in domestic pigs and cases in wild boar. Outbreak data from 2014 to 2021 were used to investigate the seasonal pattern of ASF in domestic pigs and wild boar across affected member states of the European Union, since knowledge of seasonal patterns may provide the potential to adapt prevention, surveillance and control during times of increased risk. In domestic pigs, a yearly peak was observed in many European countries in summer (predominantly in July and August). In wild boar, the p...

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1959: Fitness Determinants of Influenza A Viruses
ins Influenza A (IAV) is a major human respiratory pathogen that causes illness, hospitalizations, and mortality annually worldwide. IAV is also a zoonotic pathogen with a multitude of hosts, allowing for interspecies transmission, reassortment events, and the emergence of novel pandemics, as was seen in 2009 with the emergence of a swine-origin H1N1 (pdmH1N1) virus into humans, causing the first influenza pandemic of the 21st century. While the 2009 pandemic was considered to have high morbidity and low mortality, studies have linked the pdmH1N1 virus and its gene segments to increased disease in humans and animal mod...

Interleukin-17 producing cells in swine induced by microbiota during the early postnatal period - a brief research report
Interleukin-17A (IL-17) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in the immune response to many pathogens playing also a role in certain chronic and autoimmune diseases. The presented study focused on the early postnatal development of IL-17 producing cells in swine. In agreement with previous studies, αβ T-helper (CD3+CD4+) and γδ T (CD3+TCRγδ+) cells were found to be the major producers of IL-17. In newborn conventional piglets, αβ T-helper cells positive for IL-17 were almost undetectable, but their frequency increased markedly with age in all issues examined, i.e., blood, spleen, and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN)...
