Rhinoviruses delayed the circulation of the pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 virus in France
Jean-Sébastien Casalegno,Michèle Ottmann,M. Bouscambert Duchamp,Vanessa Escuret,Geneviève Billaud,Emilie Frobert,F. Morfin,Bruno Lina +7 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that HRV infections can reduce the probability of A(H1N1) infection is supported, as viral interference between respiratory viruses could have affected the spread of the H 1N1 viruses and delayed the influenza pandemic at the beginning of autumn in France.

Resistance of herpes simplex viruses to acyclovir: an update from a ten-year survey in France.
Emilie Frobert,Sonia Burrel,Sophie Ducastelle-Lepretre,Geneviève Billaud,Florence Ader,Jean-Sébastien Casalegno,Viviane Nave,David Boutolleau,Mauricette Michallet,Bruno Lina,F. Morfin +10 more
TL;DR: Genotypic characterization of HSV UL23 thymidine kinase and UL30 DNA polymerase genes revealed 11 and 7 previously unreported substitutions, respectively, which may be related to potential polymorphisms, drug resistance, or other mutations of unclear significance.

Pandemic A(H1N1)2009 influenza virus detection by real time RT‐PCR : is viral quantification useful?
M. Bouscambert Duchamp,Jean-Sébastien Casalegno,Y. Gillet,Emilie Frobert,E. Bernard,Vanessa Escuret,Geneviève Billaud,Martine Valette,Etienne Javouhey,Bruno Lina,D. Floret,F. Morfin +11 more
TL;DR: This study shows that real time RT-PCR targeting the matrix gene is a reliable tool for quantification of type A influenza virus but emphasises the need for sample quality control assessment through cellular gene quantification for reliable estimation of the viral load.

Genotypic detection of acyclovir-resistant HSV-1: Characterization of 67 ACV-sensitive and 14 ACV-resistant viruses
Emilie Frobert,Jean-Claude Cortay,Tadamasa Ooka,Fatiha Najioullah,Danielle Thouvenot,Bruno Lina,F. Morfin +6 more
TL;DR: A genotyping analysis focusing on thymidine kinase gene (TK) mutations in order to detect acyclovir-resistant HSV in clinical specimens is developed and could be detected directly in clinical specimen within 24 h.

Human parechovirus infections, Lyon, France, 2008-10: evidence for severe cases.
Isabelle Schuffenecker,Etienne Javouhey,Yves Gillet,Béatrice Kugener,Geneviève Billaud,Daniel Floret,Bruno Lina,F. Morfin +7 more
TL;DR: Routine screening for HPeV in CSF and blood should thus be performed more extensively and could improve clinical management, as it is a significant cause of sepsis and severe seps isis in children <3 months.
