... In addition, CA04 replicates efficiently in non-human primates, causes more severe pathological lesions in the lungs of infected mice, ferrets and non-human primates than a currently circulating human H1N1 virus, and transmits among ferrets. In specific-pathogen-free miniature pigs, CA04 replicates without clinical symptoms.

... . On day 6 after infection, virus titres followed a similar trend and the lungs of CA04-infected mice showed bronchitis and alveolitis with viral antigen, although signs of regeneration were apparent (Supplementary Figure A5-7c)
From page 158...
... . Collec tively, these findings demonstrate that CA04 causes more severe lung lesions in non-human primates than does a contemporary human influenza virus.

... Antiviral compounds are the first line of defence against pandemic influenza viruses. Sequence analysis suggests that S-OIVs are resistant to ion channel inhibitors such as amantadine and rimantadine (Novel Swine-Origin Influenza A (H1N1)

... . Three mice per group were killed on days 3 and 6 after infection and the virus titres in lungs were determined by plaque assays in MDCK cells; results are reported as means ± s.d.
From page 163...
... Our findings indicate that S-OIVs are more pathogenic in mammalian ­models than seasonal H1N1 influenza viruses. In fact, the ability of CA04 to replicate in the lungs of mice, ferrets and non-human primates, and to cause appreciable pathology in this organ, is reminiscent of infections with highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza viruses (Peiris et al., 2004)
From page 164...
... All experiments with S-OIVs were performed in approved enhanced biosafety level 3 (BSL3) containment laboratories.
