| antigenic analysis of influenza viruses isolated in thailand between 1991 and 1994. | we studied the epidemiology of influenza viruses in thailand by isolating them and comparing their antigenic features with those of japanese isolates. between 1991 and 1994, 32 strains were isolated from 186 throat swab specimens. twenty-one of the 32 isolates were of type a, subtype h3n2, and 11 strains were type b. it was suggested that the isolates of type a, subtype h3n2, drifted antigenically from a/beijing/352/89-like to a/kitakyusyu/159/93-like variants used as reference strains for compa ... | 1997 | 9258939 |
| amantadine- and oseltamivir-resistant variants of influenza a viruses in thailand. | amantadine and oseltamivir are used to treat influenza a virus infections; however, resistance to these drugs has been widely reported throughout the world. in this study, the frequency and genetic characteristics of the drug-resistant influenza a viruses that circulated in thailand from 2006 to 2008 were investigated. the nucleotide sequences of the na and m2 genes were elucidated in order to identify mutations that confer oseltamivir- and amantadine-resistant phenotypes, respectively. a total ... | 2009 | 19850010 |
| influenza virus contamination of common household surfaces during the 2009 influenza a (h1n1) pandemic in bangkok, thailand: implications for contact transmission. | rational infection control guidance requires an improved understanding of influenza transmission. we studied households with an influenza-infected child to measure the prevalence of influenza contamination, the effect of hand washing, and associations with humidity and temperature. | 2010 | 20879867 |
| serological response to the 2009 pandemic influenza a (h1n1) virus for disease diagnosis and estimating the infection rate in thai population. | individuals infected with the 2009 pandemic virus a(h1n1) developed serological response which can be measured by hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) and microneutralization (micront) assays. | 2011 | 21283570 |
