Live attenuated influenza virus vaccine reduces virus shedding of newborn piglets in the presence of maternal antibody
This study indicates that intranasal vaccination with a truncated NS1 live attenuated IAV‐S vaccine of newborn piglets with maternal antibodies can be a valuable tool for reducing the prevalence of heterologous H1N2 and H3N2 IAV‐S in pig herds. (Source: Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses)

Standardisation of inactivated influenza vaccines —Learning from history
The single radial immunodiffusion assay has been the accepted method for determining the potency of inactivated influenza vaccines since 1978. The worldwide adoption of this assay for vaccine standardisation was facilitated through collaborative studies that demonstrated a high level of reproducibility and its applicability to the different types of influenza vaccine being produced at that time. Clinical evidence indicated the relevance of SRID as a potency assay. Unique features of the SRID assay are likely responsible for its longevity even as newer technologies for vaccine characterisation have been developed and refine...

Containing influenza outbreaks with antiviral use in long ‐term care facilities in Taiwan, 2008‐2014
ConclusionsEarly initiation of antiviral treatment may reduce the magnitude of influenza outbreaks. Clinicians should identify patients with influenza and start antiviral use early to prevent large outbreaks in LTCFs. (Source: Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses)

1918 pandemic morbidity: the first wave hits the poor, the second wave hits the rich
ConclusionsFor the first time it is documented a crossover in the role of socioeconomic status in 1918 pandemic morbidity. The poor came down with influenza first, while the rich with less exposure in the first wave had the highest morbidity in the second wave. The study suggest that socioeconomically disadvantaged should be prioritized if vaccines are of limited availability in a future pandemic.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Epidemiology and molecular characterization of influenza viruses in Burkina Faso, sub ‐Saharan Africa
ConclusionsInfluenza A and B viruses were detected in a substantial number of ILI and SARI cases in Burkina Faso.

Rapid risk assessment during the early weeks of the 2015 ‐2016 influenza season in Ukraine
ConclusionsThe first weeks of the 2015/16 influenza season were more severe than previous seasons, with an earlier and steeper increase in severe cases and deaths, particularly in younger adults. Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 was the predominant strain and was closely related to the seasonal vaccine strain with no evidence of resistance to antiviral drugs.
