Although the avian flu (H5N1) virus may not be making the news as frequently, it is still working hard behind the scenes, ...

“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 ...

Flu viruses that can use a second cellular entry point may move more effectively between animals and humans, scientists say.

This bird flu, which scientists call highly pathogenic avian influenza, or H5N1, is already at panzootic—animal pandemic—status, ... Influenza viruses share the same basic structure, ...

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 ...

Historically, the avian flu has had a high mortality rate. Between 1997 and 2021, there were 833 cases reported in about 20 countries. In about half of those cases, the people infected with avian ...
