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 ...

Flu cases are through the roof across the US right now. And, while cold and flu season always packs a punch, it feels like ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

Scientists have detected a highly pathogenic type of avian influenza in Nevada dairy cattle, the U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed. On Friday, the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection ...
