Neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) oseltamivir and zanamivir are currently the only effective antiviral drugs available worldwide for the management of influenza. The potential development of resistance is continually threatening their use, rationalizing and highlighting the need for a close and sustained

Influenza A virus (IAV) has its natural reservoir in wild waterfowl, and emerging human IAVs often contain gene segments from avian viruses. The active drug metabolite of oseltamivir (oseltamivir carboxylate [OC]), stockpiled as Tamiflu for influenza pandemic preparedness, is not

Natural Killer (NK) cells play a central role in the defense against viral infections and in the elimination of transformed cells. The recognition of pathogen-infected and tumor cells is controlled by inhibitory and activating receptors. We have previously shown that

The influenza virus neuraminidase inhibitors are normally slow binding inhibitors, but many mutations leading to resistance, also result in the loss of the slow binding phenotype. Mutations can also affect the rate of dissociation of the inhibitors from the neuraminidase

Seasonal influenza virus infections cause annual epidemics and sporadic pandemics. These present a global health concern, resulting in substantial morbidity, mortality and economic burdens. Prevention and treatment of influenza illness is difficult due to the high mutation rate of the
