“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 ...

To infect mammals, the avian influenza virus must mutate to overcome two main barriers: ... "In addition, we obtained the structure of the human type B influenza replication complex, ...

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 ...

H5N9 is a highly pathogenic avian flu (or bird flu) virus that bears some structural similarities to H5N1. "Low pathogenic" H5N9 viruses have previously been detected in birds in the U.S. and ...

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, ...
