USA:n ihmisissä ilmennyt A H5N1 influenssavirus infektio. Virusten riskien arvioimisesta IRAT

Results of Influenza Risk Assessment Tool
At a glance
- The Influenza Risk Assessment Tool (IRAT) is a CDC evaluation tool developed with assistance from global animal and human health influenza experts.
- The IRAT is used to assess the potential pandemic risk of influenza A viruses that are not currently circulating in people.
- This latest IRAT assessed two recent clade 2.3.4.4b avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses: A/California/147/2024 and A/Washington/239/2024.
- These viruses scored in the "moderate risk" category for potential emergence and public health impact, similar to previous assessments of earlier clade 2.3.4.4b avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses. These results validate the proactive, coordinated U.S. government response.
- The IRAT does not assess the immediate risk to the public's health, which is unchanged and remains low, and it does not predict future pandemics.

Influenza A in Bovine Species: A Narrative Literature Review
jatkoa...(2) perustavaa olennaista yleistietoa influenssoista
Influenza viruses belong to Orthomyxoviridae family and are negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses causing acute respiratory disease in a multitude of hosts all over the world. Influenza viruses were recognized as early as the 16th century and the first pandemic officially documented was in 1580 [1].
Influenza viruses evolved to form mainly four types: alphainfluenza virus (influenza A), betainfluenza (influenza B), gammainfluenza (influenza C), and deltainfluenza (influenza D) which again diverged to subtypes and lineages, affecting multiple mammalian species worldwide, including humans.
Influenza viruses undergo antigenic drift—acquiring frequent mutations in HA and NA, which enables the virions to evade the pre-existing immunity to cause seasonal epidemics/epizootics, and antigenic shift—undergoing gene reassortments causing pandemics.
The most important IAV human pandemics: 1918 Spanish flu (H1N1), 1957–1958 Asian flu (H2N2), 1968 Hong Kong flu (H3N2), and 2009 swine-origin H1N1 emerged during the last century [1].
Structurally, IAV and IBV genomes have eight RNA segments, whereas ICV and IDV have only seven segments. IAV has hemagglutinin (HA), neuraminidase (NA), matrix proteins (M1, M2), and NP (ribonucleoprotein) as structural proteins; 3 subunits of the RNA polymerase complex, polymerase basic protein 1 (PB1), polymerase basic protein 2 (PB2), and polymerase acidic protein (PA); and 3 nonstructural proteins, NS1, NS2/NEP (nuclear export protein), and PB1-F2.
Studies have shown that NS2 and M1 protein form complexes that can be detected in purified virions and cell lysates of virus-infected cells [2,3]. Hence, NS2 and (probably) NS1 of IAV are not considered as non-structural proteins, as these proteins can be detected in virions [4].
IBV possesses six structural proteins, HA, NA, NB, M2, M1, NP and NS2; 3 subunits of RNA polymerase complex, PA, PB1, and PB2; and nonstructural protein NS1 [5].
ICV and IDV have 4 structural proteins, M2, M1, NP, and the hemagglutinin–esterase fusion (HEF) protein that replaces the HA and NA of IAV or IBV; 3 subunits of RNA polymerase complex, P3, PB1, and PB2; and 2 nonstructural proteins, NS1 and NS2.
IAV has several subtypes based on the HA and NA proteins. Currently, there are 18 HA and 11 NA subtypes, of which H1 to H16 and N1 to N9 have been isolated from birds; the subtypes H17, H18, N10, and N11 have been identified in bats [6,7]. Out of these, only three HA (H1, H2, H3) and two NA (N1, N2) subtypes have been associated with human epidemics and are capable of sustained transmission [8]. KTS. lähdeartikkeli:

Influenza A in Bovine Species: A Narrative Literature Review
It is quite intriguing that bovines were largely unaffected by influenza A, even though most of the domesticated and wild animals/birds at the human–animal interface succumbed to infection over the past few decades. Influenza A occurs on a very infrequent basis in bovine species and hence bovines were not considered to be susceptible hosts for influenza until the emergence of influenza D. This review describes a multifaceted chronological review of literature on influenza in cattle which comprises mainly of the natural infections/outbreaks, experimental studies, and pathological and seroepidemiological aspects of influenza A that have occurred in the past. The review also sheds light on the bovine models used in vitro and in vivo for influenza-related studies over recent years. Despite a few natural cases in the mid-twentieth century and seroprevalence of human, swine, and avian influenza viruses in bovines, the evolution and host adaptation of influenza A virus (IAV) in this species suffered a serious hindrance until the novel influenza D virus (IDV) emerged recently in cattle across the world. Supposedly, certain bovine host factors, particularly some serum components and secretory proteins, were reported to have anti-influenza properties, which could be an attributing factor for the resilient nature of bovines to IAV. Further studies are needed to identify the host-specific factors contributing to the differential pathogenetic mechanisms and disease progression of IAV in bovines compared to other susceptible mammalian hosts.

Sars-1 Covid-19 osoittaa kohonneita ilmenemisiään paikoitellen maapallolla viime viikkoina
WHO tiedottaa:
SARS-CoV-2 reported cases: Last 28 days
In the 28-day period from 19 May 2025 to 15 June 2025, 87 countries across five WHO regions reported new COVID-19 cases. During this 28-day period, a total of 346,183 new cases were reported, which is an increase compared to the 141,796 new cases reported from 93 countries in the previous 28-day period (Table 2). Overall, 50 countries from Africa, the Americas, Europe, and South-East Asia showed an increase in new cases of over 10%.

SARS-CoV-2 variant circulation: Last 28 days
WHO is currently tracking several SARS-CoV-2 variants:
- Variants of Interest: JN.1
- Variants Under Monitoring: LP.8.1, NB.1.8.1, XFG, XEC, KP.3.1.1, and KP.3
The most prevalent variant, LP.8.1, accounted for 26% of all submitted sequences in the week ending on 15 June 2025 which is a decrease from 28% in the week ending on 18 May 2025. NB.1.8.1 accounted for 24% of all submitted sequences in the week ending on 15 June 2025, a slight increase from 23% in the week ending on 18 May 2025. XFG accounted for 19% of all submitted sequences in the week ending on 15 June 2025, a significant increase from 10% in the week ending on 18 May 2025 (Table 3).
During this reporting period, all other variants showed a decreasing or stable trend. Available evidence suggests that LP.8.1, NB.1.8.1, and XFG do not pose additional public health risks relative to other currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants. Due to proportionally low detections (less than 1%) for consecutive weeks, LB.1 has been deescalated from being a VUM.
At the regional level, in the week ending on 15 June 2025 compared to the week ending on 18 May 2025, LP.8.1 declined in the European Region, the Western Pacific Region, and the Americas, which were the regions with sufficient data. NB.1.8.1 declined in the Americas but increased in the European Region and the Western Pacific Region. XFG increased in all regions with sufficient data. Additionally KP.3.1.1 increased in the Western Pacific Region and JN.1 increased in the Americas.
