Influenza A virus (IAV) possesses a segmented, negative-sense RNA genome comprising eight distinct viral RNA (vRNA) segments. These segments form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes that are selectively ...
The influenza A virus (IAV) has been the cause of six major flu pandemics, responsible for 50 to 100 million deaths globally.
We've all heard of "the flu" but when it comes to types, subtypes and variants, influenza can get a bit complicated. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly ...
They disable our defenses and hijack the cellular machinery in order to multiply successfully. For example, the herpes ...
The United States is in the grip of an aggressive winter flu season, with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) having recently reported a surge in visits to doctors on a scale not ...
As winter ends, several viruses are still continuing to rise across the U.S., according to data from WastewaterSCAN, a network of wastewater surveillance sites. Norovirus, one type of influenza, and ...
Panel A shows dereplicated reads from wastewater virome sequencing assigned to H5N1 from all samples with a validated H5N1 signal aligned to a recently collected H5N1 2.3.4.4b reference sequence ...
California researchers say the world may be just one genetic tweak away from human-to-human transmission of the H5N1 bird flu virus — a worrisome mutation that could open the door to widespread human ...
