“In addition, we obtained the structure of the human type B influenza replication complex, which is similar to that of influenza A. The cellular experiments confirmed our structural data.” These new ...

The avian influenza virus needs to mutate to cross the species barrier and to infect and replicate within mammalian cells. Scientists have now deciphered the structure of the avian influenza virus ...

Influenza, in general, small changes in the genetic structure of the virus can lead to the emergence of new subvariants, and variants and strains, kind of similar to what we see with coronavirus ...

Purdue University researchers now have developed an innovative, paper-based diagnostic test for rapidly detecting avian ...

CC-42344 was shown to be highly active against the highly pathogenic 2024 Texas H5N1 avian influenza strain The Company’s virology study further confirmed the previous structural and in vitro ...

Of particular concern are highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses such as H5N1, which has a fatality rate of 52% in humans, the investigators noted. “… new vaccine approaches capable ...

To be clear: the flu shot doesn’t protect against avian flu. But fewer seasonal flu infections means fewer chances for the virus to evolve and become transmissible. 3.
