This virus becomes the dominant flu virus in U. June The first nasal spray flu vaccine is licensed. Government National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza is published The entire genome of the H1N1 pandemic influenza virus is sequenced CDC stops recommending adamantanes during the season after high levels of resistance among influenza A viruses. In the US, resistance increased from 1. The document outlines U. These tests can detect influenza with high specificity that enhances diagnosis and treatment options.
CDC begins working to develop a virus called a candidate vaccine virus that could be used to make vaccine to protect against this new virus. Even though eggs continue to be the primary means of production, cell culture emerges as an alternative method for producing influenza vaccines. The project produces right-size calculators; statistical tools that help states determine the optimal amount of influenza testing needed for desired confidence levels of surveillance.
It is the first IV flu medication. The researchers described the case of a year-old man who arrived in Melbourne from China on 19 January and was admitted to hospital on 24 January with symptoms of fever, cough, and progressive shortness of breath. A second study of 31 cases suggests that corticosteroid treatment has no effect on virus clearance time, length of hospital stay, and duration of symptom.
Electron microscopy of the supernatant confirmed the presence of virus particles displaying morphology characteristic of the family Coronaviridae. The ability to propagate SARS-CoV-2 and rapidly share the isolate globally represents an important step in collaborative scientific efforts to diagnose, prevent and treat this public health emergency. Isolating a virus means taking a pure sample of a virus from an infected being so it can be studied.
There are numerous reports of the virus being isolated by teams around the world. The original four criteria are:. The microorganism must be found in the diseased animal, and not found in healthy animals. The microorganism must be extracted and isolated from the diseased animal and subsequently grown in culture. Zhao Su, head of respiratory medicine at Wuhan Central Hospital, to request the clinical data of the relevant patient.
And so, I had two suggestions: that we should take some emergency public measures to protect against this disease; also, clinics should develop antiviral treatments. Afterward, Zhang returned to Shanghai and prepared to travel to Beijing for more meetings. On the morning of Jan. A few minutes later, Zhang was strapped in for takeoff and still on the phone—then Holmes asked permission to release the genome publicly.
By the time Zhang touched down in Beijing, his discovery was headline news. Officials swooped on his laboratory to demand an explanation. To many observers, it seemed that furious officials scrambling to snuff out evidence of the outbreak were punishing Zhang simply for sharing the SARS-CoV-2 genome—and in the meanwhile, slowing down the release of this key information. Yet Zhang denies reports in Western media that his laboratory suffered any prolonged closure, and instead says it was working furiously during the early days of the outbreak.
And, in fact, Zhang insists he first uploaded the genome to the U. But it can take days or even weeks for the NCBI to look at a submission, and given the gravity of the situation and buoyed by the urging of colleagues, Zhang chose to expedite its release to the public, by publishing it online. Zhang, 55, is keen to downplay the bravery of his actions. Several whistleblower doctors were detained early in the pandemic.
According to a Jan.
