    Description: In March and early April 2009, a new swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus (S-OIV) emerged in Mexico and the United States. During the first few weeks of surveillance, the virus spread worldwide to 30 countries (as of May 11) by human-to-human transmission, causing the World Health Organization to raise its pandemic alert to level 5 of 6. This virus has the potential to develop into the first influenza pandemic of the twenty-first century. Here we use evolutionary analysis to estimate the timescale of the origins and the early development of the S-OIV epidemic. We show that it was derived from several viruses circulating in swine, and that the initial transmission to humans occurred several months before recognition of the outbreak. A phylogenetic estimate of the gaps in genetic surveillance indicates a long period of unsampled ancestry before the S-OIV outbreak, suggesting that the reassortment of swine lineages may have occurred years before emergence in humans, and that the multiple genetic ancestry of S-OIV is not indicative of an artificial origin. Furthermore, the unsampled history of the epidemic means that the nature and location of the genetically closest swine viruses reveal little about the immediate origin of the epidemic, despite the fact that we included a panel of closely related and previously unpublished swine influenza isolates. Our results highlight the need for systematic surveillance of influenza in swine, and provide evidence that the mixing of new genetic elements in swine can result in the emergence of viruses with pandemic potential in humans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Smith, Gavin J D -- Vijaykrishna, Dhanasekaran -- Bahl, Justin -- Lycett, Samantha J -- Worobey, Michael -- Pybus, Oliver G -- Ma, Siu Kit -- Cheung, Chung Lam -- Raghwani, Jayna -- Bhatt, Samir -- Peiris, J S Malik -- Guan, Yi -- Rambaut, Andrew -- BB/E009670/1/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- HHSN266200700005C/PHS HHS/ -- Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2009 Jun 25;459(7250):1122-5. doi: 10.1038/nature08182.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉State Key Laboratory of Emerging Infectious Diseases & Department of Microbiology, Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong, 21 Sassoon Road, Pokfulam, Hong Kong SAR, China.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19516283" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Swine influenza A viruses (SwIV) cause significant economic losses in animal husbandry as well as instances of human disease and occasionally give rise to human pandemics, including that caused by the H1N1/2009 virus. The lack of systematic and longitudinal influenza surveillance in pigs has hampered attempts to reconstruct the origins of this pandemic. Most existing swine data were derived from opportunistic samples collected from diseased pigs in disparate geographical regions, not from prospective studies in defined locations, hence the evolutionary and transmission dynamics of SwIV are poorly understood. Here we quantify the epidemiological, genetic and antigenic dynamics of SwIV in Hong Kong using a data set of more than 650 SwIV isolates and more than 800 swine sera from 12 years of systematic surveillance in this region, supplemented with data stretching back 34 years. Intercontinental virus movement has led to reassortment and lineage replacement, creating an antigenically and genetically diverse virus population whose dynamics are quantitatively different from those previously observed for human influenza viruses. Our findings indicate that increased antigenic drift is associated with reassortment events and offer insights into the emergence of influenza viruses with epidemic potential in swine and humans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Vijaykrishna, Dhanasekaran -- Smith, Gavin J D -- Pybus, Oliver G -- Zhu, Huachen -- Bhatt, Samir -- Poon, Leo L M -- Riley, Steven -- Bahl, Justin -- Ma, Siu K -- Cheung, Chung L -- Perera, Ranawaka A P M -- Chen, Honglin -- Shortridge, Kennedy F -- Webby, Richard J -- Webster, Robert G -- Guan, Yi -- Peiris, J S Malik -- HHSN26600700005C/PHS HHS/ -- MC_G0902096/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2011 May 26;473(7348):519-22. doi: 10.1038/nature10004.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉State Key Laboratory of Emerging Infectious Diseases & Department of Microbiology, Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong, 21 Sassoon Road, Pokfulam, Hong Kong, China.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21614079" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The global spread of dengue virus (DENV) infections has increased viral genetic diversity, some of which appears associated with greater epidemic potential. The mechanisms governing viral fitness in epidemiological settings, however, remain poorly defined. We identified a determinant of fitness in a foreign dominant (PR-2B) DENV serotype 2 (DENV-2) clade, which emerged during the 1994 epidemic in Puerto Rico and replaced an endemic (PR-1) DENV-2 clade. The PR-2B DENV-2 produced increased levels of subgenomic flavivirus RNA (sfRNA) relative to genomic RNA during replication. PR-2B sfRNA showed sequence-dependent binding to and prevention of tripartite motif 25 (TRIM25) deubiquitylation, which is critical for sustained and amplified retinoic acid-inducible gene 1 (RIG-I)-induced type I interferon expression. Our findings demonstrate a distinctive viral RNA-host protein interaction to evade the innate immune response for increased epidemiological fitness.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Manokaran, Gayathri -- Finol, Esteban -- Wang, Chunling -- Gunaratne, Jayantha -- Bahl, Justin -- Ong, Eugenia Z -- Tan, Hwee Cheng -- Sessions, October M -- Ward, Alex M -- Gubler, Duane J -- Harris, Eva -- Garcia-Blanco, Mariano A -- Ooi, Eng Eong -- R01 AI089526/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM087405/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Oct 9;350(6257):217-21. doi: 10.1126/science.aab3369.

    Notes: Summary Chlorophyll mutations in two varieties (‘ML-5’ and ‘K-851’) of mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) were studied severally and in combination following treatment with gamma rays and EMS. Frequencies, spectra and inheritance patterns are reported and discussed. Genotypic differences were observed with regard to frequency and spectrum. Combined treatments produced higher mutation frequencies than individual treatments. Albina and xantha appeared more frequently, relative to other chlorophyll mutations. Inheritance of albina, chlorina, xantha and virescens types in different generations revealed that each of them was monogenically controlled and was recessive in nature.
