Recent viral mutations have shown avian influenza’s adaptability to mammalian hosts, prompting infectious disease, animal ...

The crystal structure of the hemagglutinin of both the viruses is similar, especially within the Sa antigenic site. Compared with seasonal influenza outbreaks, the overall impact of the 2009 H1N1 ...

To find the answer, they developed a way to observe and measure real-time influenza A virus structure during formation. The researchers found: Influenza A viruses rapidly adjust their shape when ...

The H5N1 avian influenza virus is mutating to evade immune defenses in mammals following prior infection or vaccination.

Mar. 3, 2025 — As highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza continues to spread in the U.S., posing serious threats to dairy and poultry farms, both farmers and public health experts need better ...

His research involves studying the structure of viruses and how they interface ... there has been a steady stream of known and emerging viruses, including HIV, Ebola and, of course, influenza comes ...

Now, researchers have developed a prototype sensor that detects a type of influenza virus that causes bird flu (H5N1) in air samples. The low-cost handheld sensor detects the virus at levels below ...

Influenza is one of the most unpredictable of diseases. Each year, the virus mutates slightly in a process called antigenic drift. The greater the mutation, the less likely that your immune system ...
