 JGV Direct - Review: Origin of the 1918 influenza pandemic (A. H. Reid and J. K. Taubenberger)
Until recently, it was thought that reassortment between avian and human strains would be unlikely to take place in humans because there was no evidence that humans could be infected by a wholly avian influenza virus.
The hypothesis that reassortment between avian and human strains is the likely mechanism for the generation of new pandemic strains has become well accepted.
It seems likely that the 1957 and 1968 pandemic strains originated in the reassortment of avian and human strains.

  Your response to Dr. Stephens focused on the fact that a reassortment with the circulating strains would just present the same neuraminidase and hemagglutinin antigens that everybody is seeing anyway, which is fine.
YOUNG:   Yeah, with respect to reassortment, there's really two different situations you need to consider when you think about reassortment.
STEPHENS:   This is a clarification regarding the reversion rate, which you suggest is low, less than minute ten to the minus 20.

 Patent 4571385: Genetic reassortment of rotaviruses for production of vaccines and vaccine precursors
This invention relates to processes which are used to produce, isolate, and characterize human rotavirus/animal rotavirus reassortants and to produce live attenuated vaccines and vaccine precursors.
Initially, as is set out in the Greenberg article, selection of the desired viral reassortants was achieved by exposing progeny from mixed infection to potent specific bovine rotavirus antiserum that did not neutralize human rotavirus.
Both the genotype and phenotype of the reassortants studied had previously been determined.

 AI update: Implications of H5N1 infections in pigs in China
In addition, laboratory experiments would be required to shed some light on the probability for virus reassortment, the possible pathogenicity of a reassorted virus, and the chance that pigs will act as a pathway for the emergence of a potential pandemic strain.
Because the findings remain preliminary and are not necessarily indicative for widespread infection among pigs, assessing the consequences of this information for public health is difficult.
These results will help national and international public health authorities not only to assess the role pigs and humans play in the emergence of a new influenza pandemic virus from H5N1, but to structure the necessary public health interventions.

 Swine influenza: a zoonosis - (c) Veterinary Sciences Tomorrow
The involvement of reassortment in at least the human pandemics of 1957 and 1968 shows that it is a successful event from the virus' point of view and therefore can be expected to underlie the next possible human pandemic.
The amount of virus that reaches the deeper airways and the resulting production of infectious virus in the lungs determine the severity of illness.
Only the HA was derived from the human H1N1 virus, phylogenetic analysis of which has suggested it had been circulating in pigs since the early 1980s.

Scientists from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control will soon begin experiments designed to see how likely it is for the H5N1 avian influenza virus to ignite a human flu pandemic.
Some skeptics have pointed to the fact H5N1 hasn't yet reassorted to argue it may not be able to do so outside of the artificial confines of a laboratory.

 Influenza Virus Spead - swine and human zoonotic infections
This could lead to the generation of new strains of influenza some of which may be able to transmit to other species including humans.
Genetic analysis of two strains of H1N1 virus isolated from pigs in Japan revealed that the HA and NA genes were most closely related to those of human H1N1 viruses circulating in the human population at that time (Katsuda et al 1995a).
This concept is supported by the detection of human-avian reassortant viruses in European pigs with some evidence for subsequent transmission to the human population.

This may in part be due to an assumption that it does not occur and therefore few experiments have been attempted.
Viruses which are of the same serotype will also be of the same serogroup.
Attempts to generate reassortant progeny between members of even some of the closely related serogroups have failed (for example, EHDV, BTV and Eubenangee; Mertens et al., 1984).

Although H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes have co-circulated in the human population since 1977, reassortant combinations of HA and NA subtypes are rare.
Reassortant H1N2 viruses have previously been isolated from sporadic cases in humans and were not maintained in circulation in humans ( 9).
H1N2 viruses continued to be isolated from the patients in the community and in hospitalized patients throughout the U.K. until the end of March 2002.

 CIDRAP >> Pandemic Influenza
It is also not clear if reassortment in another animal host is necessary or whether an avian strain could directly cause a global pandemic in humans (see References : Webster 1997).
Some scientists believe that reassortment between an avian and a human strain could occur in the human population without an intermediary host; if this proves true, as more humans become exposed and infected, the potential for reassortment with a human strain may also increase.
Reassortment with human strain(s) would be necessary for the current virus to acquire this attribute.

 Apocalyptic Church » Experts Alarmed At How H5N1 Bird Flu Is Evolving
However, the news was not news because the concept that a pandemic strain will evolve from H5N1 via reassortment with a human influenza doesn't make sense.
One maintains that dramatic changes (shifts) are caused by reassortment and the other maintains that small changes are caused by new mutations (drifts).
WHO has been relying on two basic tenents of influenza genetics, but both are incorrect.

 Emerging Viral Diseases.
Alternatively, an avian virus may become adapted in pigs to the extent that it would not require reassortment with a human virus for efficient replication in humans.
In addition to virus genetic variation (mutation, recombination, and reassortment), environmental factors (including ecological, social, health care, and behavioral influences) can play important roles.

WHO has the right idea, but the wrong mechanism.
This reassorted virus would be able to be transmistted from human to human, but most humans have antibodies to H3 (from H3N2 infections or vaccines), so there wouldn't be much of a pandemic.

"The only way to answer this question is to mimic reassortment in a laboratory under appropriate biosafety conditions," he wrote.
The Centers for Disease Control recently announced that it will conduct such experiments, mating the Avian Influenza A (H5N1) virus and human flu viruses to monitor the resulting viruses' severity, and ability to infect and be transmitted.
"It could be that reassortment has occurred (naturally in Asia) but has resulted in viruses that are not viable, not pathogenic, or not more easily transmitted among humans than H5N1 currently is. If so, this news would be very good."

Pandemic strains arise when a new type of haemagglutinin is introduced into humans.
Pigs may act as a mixing vessel for reassortment by supporting growth of both avian and human viruses, or a human might be co-infected with both avian and human strains.
The greatest concern is that there will be reassortment between the current avian H5N1 strain and circulating human or porcine influenza viruses, producing a novel, virulent human strain.

 The mechanisms for genetic variation in RNA viruses
Although there is no direct proof that natural reassortment is responsible for the antigenic shift of influenza A, the process has been seen in the laboratory.
The new subtype is thought to arise from the reassortment between animal and human influenza viruses in an animal host such as the pig, so that the haemagglutinin and perhaps the neuraminadase gene from the animal stain is introduced into the human strain.
Reassortment of the individual pieces of RNA may occur in a dual infection leading to the production of new genotypes.

 Asian Bird Flu Became Highly Pathogenic Through Continued Circulation And Gene Swapping
If this gene were passed on to a human flu virus during reassortment in an animal infected with both avian and human influenza viruses, the resulting virus would be resistant to an important family of drugs.
The fact that the M2 resistance mutation is arising in different viruses suggests that it can be readily acquired, according to the researchers.
In addition, the researchers found that genotype Z viruses in Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia carried a specific mutation in a protein called M2, known to cause resistance to a family of antiviral drugs used to treat human influenza.

 Guidelines for the use of seasonal influenza vaccine in humans at risk of H5N1 infection
The pandemic viruses of 1957 and 1968 were reassortants of human and avian subtypes of influenza A. Genetic reassortment of human and avian influenza viruses could occur in humans co-infected with current human H1 or H3 subtypes of influenza A and an avian influenza virus acquired from poultry.
Vaccination with current inter-pandemic vaccine will not protect humans from infection with avian H5N1 influenza — rather, it minimizes the risk of co-infection and genetic reassortment of human and avian influenza viruses in humans.
Targeted vaccination with the current seasonal influenza vaccine for humans is being recommended, in countries currently experiencing outbreaks of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza in poultry, as one of several measures for reducing opportunities for the simultaneous infection of humans with avian and human influenza viruses.

This phenomenon of genome segment reassortment was analyzed in detail in studies of the progeny of pairs of the three reovirus serotypes, the genomes of each of which are homologous genome segment sets( 7, 8).
Thus some genome segment complements are very much more successful than others, at least with respect to their ability to maintain their identity during multiplication in cultured cells.

 Influenza A viruses reported in variety of species - humans, pigs, horses, sea mammals, mustelids, & birds
The leading theory is that the pig represents the `mixing vessel' where this genetic reassortment may occur.
Genetic analysis of the isolates demonstrated that `new' strains most certainly emerged after reassortment of genes of viruses of avian and human origin in a permissive host.
In the 20th century the sudden emergence of antigenically different strains transmissible in humans, termed antigenic shift, has occurred on four occasions, each time an influenza pandemic occurred.

Furthermore, the a reassortant swine H1N1 virus was isolated from a person in Wisconsin in 1998, and reassortant swine H1N2 and H3N2 viruses have been isolated from turkeys in the U.S. Classical swine influenza viruses can also be directly transmitted to humans as zoonotic infections, sometimes with fatal consequences.
In the human influenza pandemics of 1957 and 1968, it is clear that an avian virus reassorted with a pre-existing human virus to create the new variant virus.
Pigs, however, are uniquely susceptible to infection with both avian and human viruses, as well as their own swine viruses, and are thus thought to serve as the intermediary for human/avian virus reassortment.

This all must seem totally irrelevant, but there's a kicker: After a shift or a reassortment, the human immune system will have no antibodies to the new strain, and therefore no power to fight it.
Even more drastic is a process called "reassortment," the mixing of genes from different flu strains.
That's what probably happened in 1918 (we'd know for sure if good viral samples were available).

This dramatic change in the genotype is called antigenic shift to distinguish it from the more minor changes that occur due to mutation or poor fidelity RNA copying, which are called antigenic drift.
Such genetic mixing might occur in pigs, since a pig might be infected by both strains and then pass the new virus on to humans.

In contrast, gene reassortment was not observed in inter-serogroup crosses between EHD 1 and BTV-10, BTV-10 and Pata virus, and between EHD 1 and Pata virus.
RNA-RNA blot hybridization data, however, suggest that Pata virus is not a member of the Eubenangee serogroup.
