| | 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. |

 | | 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. |

 | | 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. |
