Structurally convergent antibodies derived from different vaccine strategies target the influenza virus HA anchor epitope with a subset of V H 3 and V K 3 genes Structurally convergent antibodies ...

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

After a different strain of bird flu was recently found in cattle for the first time, experts reveal what this means in our fight against the virus.

The winter flu season features two types of influenza. Here's what you need to know about them and how they differ.

A report published by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) details the characterization of viral sequences obtained from the milk of ...

Nearly 119,000 birds have been culled at a farm in California after a bird flu called H5N9 was detected among the poultry ...

The virus, called highly pathogenic H5N9, is a type of avian influenza, otherwise known as "bird flu." This is not the same type of bird flu that's already been spreading on dairy cow and poultry ...

In early December 2024, a group of researchers published an article in the journal Science, entitled “A single mutation in bovine influenza H5N1 hemagglutinin switches specificity to human receptors”.

To test this idea, scientists studied the genetic sequences of a key element of the virus, hemagglutinin. This glycoprotein allows the pathogen to attach to host cells. Their analysis focused on ...

COVID can still spread rapidly, especially through close person-to-person contact. You can get the virus and spread it even if you've been vaccinated or had the virus before. How long are you ...
