Influenza morbidity and mortality in Kerala: Hotspots that go unnoticed

Kerala has witnessed the occurrence of some zoonotic diseases in the past; there is presence of influenza A virus H1N1 in the state, but there is no proper data on any subtypes other than H1N1 from Kerala. The state is ecologically rich in forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife, resulting in mingling of many different species of animals and birds. Humans are at potential risk of getting infected from zoonotic viruses' transmitted from the animal reservoir. This review tries to create a systemic data from the available data source on the presence of influenza virus in Kerala, also the status of the fauna of the state to identify the possible hotspots of viral spillover.

Antiviral Potency of Mushroom Constituents

The limitation of natural antiviral compounds in the market and the viruses becoming resistant to currently available antivirals warranted the need for new antivirals with fewer side effects. Although many different compounds from various mushrooms (both edible and nonedible) have been isolated and shown to have antiviral effects, successful introduction of a new antiviral to the market requires extensive studies and clinical trials. Antiviral compounds isolated from the mushrooms have shown potential activity against prominent viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus, influenza, herpes simplex virus, hepatitis B and C viruses, etc. State of the art suggests more in-depth exploration of mushrooms for more potent antivirals and other lifesaving drugs.
