hVIVO is the new name of Retroscreen Virology! (from 15 April 2015). hVIVO is a rapidly growing UK life sciences company pioneering a technology platform which uses human challenge models of disease involving healthy volunteers to study new drugs and investigate disease in a safe, controlled, clinical environment. Our belief is that the best way to understand human disease is by studying it in humans, not laboratory models.

In a follow up to a 4 Jul 2013 report, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) says 2 new human infections with influenza A
(H3N2) variant (H3N2v) virus were reported to CDC during week 29, one
in Indiana and one in Ohio. This brings the total cases this year
[2013] to 14, with Indiana reporting 13 cases.
The CDC reports no hospitalizations or deaths have occurred. In
addition, no ongoing human-to-human transmission has been identified,
and all 14 cases have reported close contact with swine in the week
prior to illness onset. CDC officials add: "Additional cases may be
identified as the investigation continues." The Ohio Department of
Health reminded its citizens to practice good hygiene when visiting
livestock exhibits this summer [2013], in a recent new release.
"Individuals should always wash hands with soap and water before and
after petting or touching any animal. Never eat, drink, or put
anything in your mouth in animal areas. Parents and caregivers are
encouraged to leave strollers outside the animal exhibits and carry
small children. Older adults, pregnant women, young children, and
people with weakened immune systems should consider avoiding animal
areas," health officials said.
Type A influenza viruses, including H3N2 and H3N2v, commonly infect
swine, causing outbreaks among swine herds. Most of the type A
influenza viruses that infect swine are genetically very different
from human (seasonal) influenza viruses. While these variant influenza
viruses seldom infect humans, such infections can and do occur. In
fact, influenza viruses can spread both from swine to humans and from
humans to swine.
Out of the 2012 total of 309 H3N2v cases, Indiana and Ohio accounted
for the bulk of the cases with 138 (45 percent) and 107 (35 percent)
cases, respectively.

[It is clear that the A/H3N2v virus is still widespread in swine in
the states of Indiana and to a lesser extent Ohio. However, the number
of infections occurring as a consequence of visits to livestock fairs
appears to have declined, indicating that previous warnings are being
heeded. No instance of human-to-human transmission has been recorded
so far. - Mod.CP
