In a study of newborn piglets, infection with influenza A was associated with disruptions in the piglets' nasal and gut microbiomes, and with potentially detrimental changes in gene activity in the ...

The genome of the influenza virus is divided into eight segments of RNA, each responsible for coding for different proteins. Some of these proteins are located on the virus surface such as ...

This particular giant virus, which they called Jyvaskylavirus, is 200 nanometers in diameter, or about two times the size of an influenza or coronavirus.

Influenza virus neuraminidase (NA) is an important target for protective antibodies and therapeutic drugs against influenza viruses. Currently, influenza subunit vaccines focus on haemagglutinin and ...

"The influenza vaccine can be highly effective in reducing the severity of illness, preventing hospitalizations, and minimizing the spread of the virus, but its effectiveness can vary depending on ...

Influenza neuraminidase (NA) is an important target for protective antibodies and therapeutic drugs against influenza viruses. Currently, influenza subunit vaccines focus on haemagglutinin and contain ...

Paulson is an expert in researching where and how different influenza viruses bind to cells when they enter a host. Wilson studies the structure of influenza virus proteins. The scientists began ...

Thus, the FluAPol-NS2 hexamer lacks standard symmetry and might be dynamic. Figure 1. Overall structure of the influenza A polymerase-NS2 complex. Three dimeric influenza A polymerase heterotrimers ...

Cold and flu viruses’ rapid decrease in viability outside the body is thanks to three main factors: their enveloped structure, environmental conditions and how much our mucus surrounds it after ...
