    Author : Goran Orozovic; Björn Olsen; Johan Lennerstrand; Sigvard Olofsson; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; influenza; mallards; neuraminidase; PCR; sequencing; mutation; oseltamivir; zanamivir; resistance; NAI; antivirals; pandemic; Virology; Virologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Zoonotisk ekologi; Zoonotic Ecology; Virology; Virologi; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Influenza A virus belongs to the Orothomyxoviridae family of viruses and is one of the most common pathogens that cause infections of the respiratory tract. The aim of this thesis was to investigate if neuraminidase inhibitor (NAI) Tamiflu® (oseltamivir, OC) and Relenza® (zanamivir, ZA) - related resistance mutations exist in the neuraminidase (NA) gene of viruses collected from wild birds.

  4. 2. Prescription – Pollution – Poo – Pandemics - Priorities : Neuraminidase Inhibitors from an Environmental Resistance Development Perspective

    Author : Marie Nykvist; Josef D. Järhult; Mikael Leijon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Influenza A virus; neuraminidase inhibitor; resistance; environmental; Mallard; zanamivir; avian influenza;

    Abstract : The natural Influenza A virus (IAV) host is waterfowl. Human IAV is treated with neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs), which are stockpiled worldwide in case of an IAV pandemic. As the drugs escape regular waste water treatment, they can be detected in river waters. READ MORE

  5. 3. Tamiflu in the Water : Resistance Dynamics of Influenza A Virus in Mallards Exposed to Oseltamivir

    Author : Anna Gillman; Josef D Järhult; Björn Olsen; Shaman Muradrasoli; Elena Govorkova; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Influenza A virus; avian influenza; oseltamivir; neuraminidase inhibitors; resistance; environmental; Mallard; waterfowl; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : The natural reservoir of influenza A virus (IAV) is wild waterfowl, and all human IAVs have their genetic origins from avian viruses. Neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) are currently the best drugs for treatment of human influenza; therefore, the orally available NAI oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) has been stockpiled worldwide as part of pandemic preparedness planning.

  6. 4. Tamiflu® - Use It and Lose It?

    Author : Josef D. Järhult; Björn Olsen; Hanna Söderström; Jonas Waldenström; Robert G. Webster; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; influenza; oseltamivir; Tamiflu; resistance development; H274Y; environment; pharmaceuticals; mallard; dabbling duck; avian influenza; influensa; resistensutveckling; miljö; läkemedel; gräsand; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

    Abstract : Influenza A viruses cause seasonal and pandemic outbreaks that range from mild infections to the disastrous Spanish Flu. Resistance to neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) is a growing problem as these drugs constitute a vital part of treatment strategies and pandemic preparedness plans worldwide. Oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) is the mostly used NAI. READ MORE
