T18 |
0-368 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Of the three genera of IVs, alpha IVs (IAVs), beta IVs (IBVs) and gamma IVs (ICVs), that infect humans, eight segmented (−)ssRNA-containing IAVs (A/H3N2/68 and A/H1N1/09 variants) and IBVs (B/Yamagata and B/Victoria lineage-like viruses) with hemagglutinin (HA) spikes cause seasonal influenza epidemics that spread rapidly and cause mild to severe or fatal illnesses. |
T19 |
369-568 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Seasonal influenza vaccines and anti-influenza drugs against IAVs and IBVs are available, but seasonal influenza still causes up to 5 million severe illnesses and up to 650,000 deaths each year [12]. |
T20 |
569-642 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Thus, epidemics of IAVs and IBVs are important public health issues [12]. |
T21 |
643-864 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Seven segmented (−)ssRNA-containing ICVs with hemagglutinin-esterase-fusion (HEF) spikes usually cause mild upper respiratory disease but can cause lower respiratory disease in children and severe illness in infants [13]. |
T22 |
865-984 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Other seven segmented (−)ssRNA-containing IDVs with HEF spikes mainly infect cattle and cause respiratory illness [14]. |
T23 |
985-1114 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These IDVs seem to have a zoonotic potential to infect humans, but whether they can cause illness in humans remains unknown [15]. |
T24 |
1115-1258 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Among all known influenza viruses, only IAVs are subtyped according to their HAs (H) and neuraminidase (NA or N) spikes into H1–H18 and N1–N11. |
T25 |
1259-1453 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Several subtypes of IAVs, including H1N1, H3N2 and H5N1, have crossed the species barrier to infect a variety of birds and mammals including humans, indicating that they have zoonotic potential. |
T26 |
1454-1548 |
Sentence |
denotes |
IAVs not only mutate quickly but also prefer to reassort with other IAVs to form a new strain. |
T27 |
1549-1636 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Due to these properties, IAVs have caused four pandemics in the past 102 years [10,16]. |
T28 |
1637-1695 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These viruses continued to threat human health seasonally. |
T29 |
1696-1948 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, the first recorded pandemic virus, A/H1N1/1918-derived virus, disappeared from human circulation after the appearance of the A/H2N2/1957 pandemic virus containing five gene segments (PB2, PA, NP, M and NS) from human A/H1N1/1918-derived virus. |
T30 |
1949-2143 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Similarly, A/H2N2/1957-derived virus disappeared after the appearance of A/H3N2/1968 pandemic virus containing six gene segments (PB2, PA, NP, NA, M and NS) from human A/H2N2/1957-derived virus. |
T31 |
2144-2415 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In 1977, A/H1N1/1918-derived virus reemerged, probably due to accidental release from a laboratory, as a low-grade A/H1N1/1977 pandemic virus that primarily affected young immunologically naïve people [17,18] who were born after the end of the H1 period (1957 and later). |
T32 |
2416-2529 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This resulted in two subtypes of IAVs circulating in humans, A/H1N1/1977-derived and A/H3N2/1968-derived viruses. |
T33 |
2530-2886 |
Sentence |
denotes |
After the appearance of the A/H1N1/2009 pandemic virus containing one human gene segment (PB1) from A/H3N2/1968-derived virus and three gene segments (H1, NP and NS) from classical swine A/H1N1 virus believed to have been transmitted from A/H1N1/1918-derived virus between 1918 and 1920, A/H1N1/1977-derived virus disappeared from human circulation [4,19]. |
T34 |
2887-3023 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The disappearance of that virus resulted in only A/H1N1/2009-derived and A/H3N2/1968-derived viruses remaining in circulation in humans. |
T35 |
3024-3226 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Thus, IAVs are important not only because human IAVs cause seasonal influenza but also because nonhuman IAVs cause farm animal diseases, sporadic zoonotic outbreaks and periodic unpredictable pandemics. |
