FLUPIG investigates the role of pigs in the transmission of influenza viruses to humans, focusing on how avian viruses adapt in pigs. The project aims to understand genetic changes necessary for this adaptation and to evaluate cross-protection among different influenza strains.
FLUPIG aims at a better understanding of the role of pigs in influenza pandemics.
Pandemic influenza viruses come from wild birds, but they must adapt to efficient replication and transmission in humans to cause a pandemic.
Pigs are considered important intermediate hosts in which avian viruses adapt to mammals before they transmit to humans.
However, the exact role of pigs is unclear, as is the nature of the genetic changes that are required for (a) efficient replication of an avian virus in pi…
