Two studies conducted in the US and Europe have been published this week in the journal Science both investigating how pandemic influenza A(H1N1)v virus behaves in an animal model - ferrets. Their results of the studies have important implications for humans since ferrets show transmissibility and disease severity features for seasonal influenza A viruses (H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes) and animal influenza viruses (H5 and H7 types) very similar to what is seen in humans. They are considered by many the best available animal model for how influenza behaves in humans.
