cross-reactivity to highly pathogenic avian influenza h5n1 viruses after vaccination with nonadjuvanted and mf59-adjuvanted influenza a/duck/singapore/97 (h5n3) vaccine: a potential priming strategy.	antigenically well-matched vaccines against highly pathogenic avian influenza h5n1 viruses are urgently required. human serum samples after immunization with mf59 or nonadjuvanted a/duck/singapore/97 (h5n3) vaccine were tested for antibody to 1997-2004 human h5n1 viruses. antibody responses to 3 doses of nonadjuvanted vaccine were poor and were higher after mf59-adjuvanted vaccine, with seroconversion rates to a/hongkong/156/97, a/hongkong/213/03, a/thailand/16/04, and a/vietnam/1203/04 of 100% ...	2005	15776364
molecular characterization of low pathogenic avian influenza viruses, isolated from food products imported into singapore.	we have completed the genetic characterization of all eight gene segments for four low pathogenic avian influenza (lpai) viruses. the objective of this study was to detect the presence of novel signatures that may serve as early warning indicators of the conversion of lpai viruses to high pathogenic avian influenza (hpai) viruses. this study included three h5n2 and one h5n3 viruses that were isolated from live poultry imported into singapore as part of the national avian influenza virus (aiv) su ...	2009	19464126
