Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team from the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research (HZI) and the Medical Center—University of Freiburg has ...

The influenza virus manipulates the body’s gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread, according to researchers at ...

For the first time in Finland, researchers at the Nanoscience Center in University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have isolated a giant virus, which was named Jyvaskylavirus. The discovery shows that giant ...

Jyvaskylavirus is detailed in a study recently published in eLife, and named for Jyväskylä, the Finnish city where it was discovered.According to researchers, the new species was discovered after ...

14,17–19 The influenza-virus particle may be thought of as a spherical "shell" that encloses the nucleoprotein constituents. Comprising the "shell" are a complex of diverse antigenic components.

lies underneath the envelope and structurally supports the particle. Contained within this matrix shell is the viral RNA genome, which (for influenza A viruses) consists of eight single-stranded ...

The isolation of influenza virus 80 years ago in 1933 very quickly led to the development of the first generation of live-attenuated vaccines. The first inactivated influenza vaccine was ...

Influenza A viruses are divided into subtypes based on characteristics of two major surface proteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) – as in, for example, the strain annually ...

Baloxavir marboxil (baloxavir) rapidly reduces influenza virus shedding, which suggests that it may reduce transmission. Studies of treatment with neuraminidase inhibitors have not shown ...
