CDC alerts clinicians to accelerate type A flu subtyping in hospitalized patients
Mutations in one of the first human-isolated strains of H5N1 bird flu in the US were identified by the Texas Biomedical Research Institute.
However, none of this means we are "one mutation away" from a pandemic. The first highly pathogenic avian influenza virus of subtype H5N1 emerged in China in 1996. Since then, H5 viruses have spread widely in Europe, Africa, North America and Asia via ...
Seasonal influenza vaccines triggered protective immune responses against the H5N1 avian influenza virus primarily in younger people, indicating its potential use as a first line of defense during an eventful pandemic.
As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explains, bird flu is a disease caused by the influenza A virus. At the same time, recent CDC data shows that seasonal influenza A is rising across the U.
CDC officials say they extended the guidance now because they are seeing more H5N1 patients whose illness they cannot track back to an infected bird or cow.
Human MxA protein suppresses mammalian H5N1 virus replication, but emerging mutations may enable partial evasion, raising concerns for human transmission.
The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD) today reported that H5 avian influenza has been detected in a local wastewater sample collected from the
A case of the bird flu (also known avian flu or H5N1) involving gamebirds has been confirmed in Spartanburg. The virus was first detected on Dec. 31 and has not been transmitted elsewhere in the Carolinas, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports.
The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department reported Thursday that H5 avian influenza has been detected in a local wastewater sample
With cases of avian influenza A(H5N1) continuing to rise among cattle and humans in the US, scientists and government health officials are preparing for the potential of the virus adapting to ...
The findings come at a time when outbreaks of bird flu -- a different subtype of the same ... of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 influenza virus currently circulating
