During the 2015 outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAI) on poultry farms in the midwestern United States, concern was raised about the potential for HPAI to contaminate groundwater.

A recombinant flu vaccine (Flublok) contains no eggs and was recently approved for use in individuals aged 9 years or older ...

The adjusted incidence of transmission of influenza virus by day 5 that resulted in symptoms was 5.8% with baloxavir and 7.6% with placebo, but this difference was not significant (adjusted OR 0. ...

Exploring the virus infection mechanisms is significant for defending against virus infection and providing a basis for studying endocytosis mechanisms. Single-particle tracking technique is a ...

In this context, we recently identified a potential new type of physiological mechanism leading to enhanced activation of antiviral immunity in response to virus infection: an influenza A virus ...

Influenza A virus (IAV) infection triggers derepression of host transposable elements (TEs), which have the potential to form double-stranded (ds)RNAs and could enhance innate antiviral immunity.

Mortality and economic contraction during the 1918-1920 Great Influenza Pandemic provide plausible upper bounds for outcomes under the coronavirus (COVID-19). Data for 48 countries imply flu-related ...

The threat of an influenza pandemic has heightened the need for therapeutic strategies to combat this virus. This article provides a historical perspective on the discovery and development of two ...

That meant identifying the virus was “a big puzzle,” Erbelding says. As the outbreaks pushed on, samples pinged positive in Colorado, then in Norway, then in Alberta. Soon enough, scientists took to ...

New CDC research suggests the H5N1 avian influenza virus that infected a Michigan dairy farmworker can be transmitted through the air. The revelation, the study's authors wrote, suggests "an ...

Figure 1. Overview of sequencing-based neutralization assay. (a) We generate a library of barcoded influenza viruses carrying different HAs, each identified by a unique 16-nucleotide barcode in its ...
