Scientists have identified dozens of human proteins that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, depends on to replicate ...

Chinese scientists have found out how the H5N1 virus initially invades the mammary glands of dairy cattle and may have ...

The multicomponent mRNA-1083 vaccine elicited noninferior immune responses in adult patients when compared with coadministered influenza and COVID-19 vaccines.

The virus has not yet evolved to spread efficiently between people. Excellent vaccine technology exists, but the government ...

They gathered every genome that has been sequenced from a human virus — 679 in total. They copied pieces of the viral genomes and put them into human cells.

Positive samples underwent viral isolation and genome sequencing. We analysed evolution and spatiotemporal dynamics using the whole genomes of isolated SIVs, as well as genome sequences of SIV ...

Influenza viruses mutate in a special way called reassortment, which occurs when multiple strains infect the same cell and trade pieces of their genome with one another, potentially creating new ...

Influenza has a segmented genome, which increases the chance that its genetic material, or RNA, is shuffled into new forms through recombination when two different influenza viruses infect the ...

The research will provide resources and data to help public and animal health officials monitor, manage and control the H5N1 virus, protecting both human and animal health. VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 19, ...

As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explains, bird flu is a disease caused by the influenza A virus. At the same time, recent CDC data shows that seasonal influenza A is rising ...

Highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) virus, also known as H5N1 bird flu, is a viral infection that has seen a large spike in infections across the U.S., in wild birds, poultry, cattle and ...

To combat the influenza virus, researchers are investigating ways to destabilize its genome, composed of eight RNA molecules. However, each RNA segment is bound to a complex assembly of proteins that ...
