Due to the segmented nature of the influenza genome, in which coding sequences are located on individual RNA strands, genomes are readily shuffled in host cells that are infected with more than ...

3D reconstruction of the arrangement of an influenza virus RNA molecule (yellow) in its double-helix protein coat (purple and green). The atomic visualisation of these intimate protective ...

The influenza A virus (IAV) is known for its segmented genome, which consists of eight distinct viral RNA segments (vRNAs). This unique structure allows for genetic reassortment, a process that ...

A new study says the flu A viral strain can adapt shape to stay infectious. Infectious disease doctors break down what this ...

The influenza A virus genome consists of eight segments of single-stranded, negative-sense viral RNA, which encode multiple ...

To fight the virus that causes influenza, one of the avenues being explored by scientists is the development of drugs capable of destabilizing its genome, which is made up of eight RNA molecules.

A simple model projected which strains were likely to be highly transmissible, with implications for public health.

we discuss the implications of burgeoning knowledge of innate immunity for therapy of influenza. Innate immunity refers to host defense functions that are directly encoded in the genome and are ...

Dairy cows in Nevada have been infected with a new strain of bird flu, marking the second strain detected in herds since ...

The newer variant of avian influenza that recently infected dairy cattle in Nevada has a genetic change that’s thought to ...

Scientists have detected a highly pathogenic type of avian influenza in Nevada dairy cattle, the U.S. Department of ...

Nevada just confirmed its first human case of avian flu from infected cattle. Nevada’s first case was found in Churchill ...
