AI Technical Summary
Existing animal models of IDV are insufficient in studying its pathogenic mechanisms, transmission characteristics, and immune responses. There is a lack of ideal small animal models, especially in assessing its airborne transmission capacity, which affects IDV control strategies and vaccine development.
The transmission of influenza D virus isolate D/HY11 was studied in a ferret model. The transmission dynamics among ferrets were evaluated by whole-genome sequencing and amino acid mutation analysis. Host adaptability was analyzed by computer simulation of protein conformation and receptor molecular docking, and an effective airborne transmission model was established.
An airborne transmission system in a ferret model was successfully established, revealing the transmission pattern of IDV among ferrets, providing a scientific basis for early warning and prevention, verifying the airborne transmission capability of IDV in ferrets, and advancing the understanding of the pathogenic mechanism and zoonotic potential of IDV.
