Do novel Human-like Influenza A Viruses Circulate in Swine in Mexico and Chile?
Overall, our findings indicate that at least 12 genetically distinct HA lineages circulate in Latin American swine herds, only two of which have been found in North American swine herds. Human-to-swine transmission, spatial migration via swine movements, and genomic reassortment are the key evolutionary mechanisms that generate this viral diversity. Additional antigenic characterization and whole-genome sequencing is greatly needed to understand the diversity and independent evolution of IAV-S in Latin America.
These data indicate that T cells are released from the antiinflammatory effects of adiponectin in T1D and suggest a mechanism linking insulin resistance and islet immunity. Furthermore, we suggest that interventions that reduce insulin resistance could modulate the inflammatory process in T1D.
