Influenza A (H3) illness and viral aerosol shedding from symptomatic naturally infected and experimentally infected cases (2020)
Journal Article
Bueno de Mesquita, P. J., Nguyen‐Van‐Tam, J., Killingley, B., Enstone, J., Lambkin‐Williams, R., Gilbert, A. S., …Milton, D. K. (2021). Influenza A (H3) illness and viral aerosol shedding from symptomatic naturally infected and experimentally infected cases. Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, 15(1), 154-163. https://doi.org/10.1111/irv.12790

Background It has long been known that nasal inoculation with influenza A virus produces asymptomatic to febrile infections. Uncertainty persists about whether these infections are sufficiently similar to natural infections for studying human‐to‐hum...

Minimal transmission in an influenza A (H3N2) human challenge-transmission model within a controlled exposure environment (2020)
Journal Article
Nguyen-Van-Tam, J. S., Killingley, B., Enstone, J., Hewitt, M., Pantelic, J., Grantham, M. L., …for the EMIT Consortium. (2020). Minimal transmission in an influenza A (H3N2) human challenge-transmission model within a controlled exposure environment. PLoS Pathogens, 16(7), Article e1008704. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1008704

Uncertainty about the importance of influenza transmission by airborne droplet nuclei generates controversy for infection control. Human challenge-transmission studies have been supported as the most promising approach to fill this knowledge gap. Hea...

Deposition of respiratory virus pathogens on frequently touched surfaces at airports (2018)
Journal Article
Ikonen, N., Savolainen-Kopra, C., Enstone, J. E., Kulmala, I., Pasanen, P., Salmela, A., …Ruutu, P. (2018). Deposition of respiratory virus pathogens on frequently touched surfaces at airports. BMC Infectious Diseases, 18, Article 437. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-018-3150-5

BACKGROUND: International and national travelling has made the rapid spread of infectious diseases possible. Little information is available on the role of major traffic hubs, such as airports, in the transmission of respiratory infections, including...

Increased risk of A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza infection in UK pig industry workers compared to a general population cohort (2016)
Journal Article
the Combating Swine Influenza (COSI) Consortium, the Flu Watch Group, Fragaszy, E., Ishola, D. A., Brown, I. H., Enstone, J., …Wood, J. L. (2016). Increased risk of A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza infection in UK pig industry workers compared to a general population cohort. Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, 10(4), 291-300. https://doi.org/10.1111/irv.12364

Background: Pigs are mixing vessels for influenza viral reassortment but the extent of influenza transmission between swine and humans is not well understood. Objectives: To assess whether occupational exposure to pigs is a risk factor for human... Read More about Increased risk of A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza infection in UK pig industry workers compared to a general population cohort.

The environmental deposition of influenza virus from patients infected with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09: Implications for infection prevention and control. Journal of Infection and Public Health, 9(3), 278-288. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jiph.2015.10.009

In a multi-center, prospective, observational study over two influenza seasons, we sought to quantify and correlate the amount of virus recovered from the nares of infected subjects with that recovered from their immediate environment in community an...

Effect of ethnicity on care pathway and outcomes in patients hospitalized with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 in the UK (2014)
Journal Article
Nyland, G., McKenzie, B., Myles, P. R., Semple, M., Lim, W., Openshaw, P. J., …Nguyen-Van-Tam, J. (in press). Effect of ethnicity on care pathway and outcomes in patients hospitalized with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 in the UK. Epidemiology and Infection, 143(6), https://doi.org/10.1017/S0950268814001873

Data were extracted from the case records of UK patients admitted with laboratory-confirmed influenza A(H1N1)pdm09. White and non-White patients were characterized by age, sex, socioeconomic status, pandemic wave and indicators of pre-morbid health s...
