EU Working Group on Respiratory Care kick-off meeting
This group will lead the development of a Call to Action to advocate for better access to treatments, in particular COVID- 19.
Characterization of the glycoproteins of novel fish influenza B-like viruses
Novel influenza-like virus sequences previously identified in fish and amphibians were found to cluster as a sister clade of influenza B viruses, but have thus far remained uncharacterized.
Gradual changes within long-lived influenza virus-specific CD8+ T cells are associated with the loss of public TCR clonotypes in older adults
Frequency, phenotype and T-cell receptor (TCR) composition of influenza-specific CD8+ T-cells directed at the prominent A2/M158 influenza epitope change across the human lifespan.

Why not a 95-95-95 strategy for influenza by 2030?
This strategy aims for 95% of individuals infected with HIV to know their status, 95% of those infected to be under effective treatment, and 95% of those receiving treatment to achieve viral suppression.
A monoclonal anti-hemagglutinin stem antibody modified with zanamivir protects against both influenza A and B viruses
Anti-influenza therapeutics remain essential for the control of influenza infections, which may require hospitalization for the most severe cases.
Neuraminidase-specific antibodies drive differential cross-protection between contemporary FLUBV lineages
The two influenza B virus (FLUBV) lineages have continuously diverged from each other since the 1980s, with recent (post-2015) viruses exhibiting accelerated evolutionary rate.

Europe needs a sustainably funded influenza research and response network
Six ESWI Board Members, led by Prof. Florian Krammer, together with a long list of prominent European scientists specialised in virology, immunology and epidemiology, have recently published a commentary in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.
