Exposing influenza B: interrogating the evolution and changing host response to the other influenza. Influenza A virus

Assess host responses to Influenza B virus (IBV) infection in mouse and ferret animal models and complete parallel studies defining IBV responses in mice and ferrets and comparing those responses to those of influenza A virus (IAV) infection. Model IAV and IBV infection

本研究将完成以下工作：评估小鼠与雪貂动物模型中宿主对乙型流感病毒（Influenza B virus, IBV）感染的应答反应；开展平行研究以明确小鼠与雪貂的乙型流感病毒感染应答，并将该应答与甲型流感病毒（Influenza A virus, IAV）的感染应答进行对比；同时构建甲型流感病毒与乙型流感病毒感染模型。
