COVID and the 1918 flu pandemic gave us playbooks on how to prepare for the next pandemic. But we aren’t using it.

Due to the segmented nature of the influenza genome, in which coding sequences are located on individual RNA strands, genomes are readily shuffled in host cells that are infected with more than ...

To fight the virus that causes influenza, one of the avenues being explored by scientists is the development of drugs capable of destabilizing its genome, which is made up of eight RNA molecules.

Genome British Columbia (Genome BC) is investing in research to address the threat of H5N1, an avian influenza virus that poses a risk to poultry. Recently, British Columbia identified the first ...

Over 20,000 influenza genomes have been sequenced through the Influenza Genome Project. The Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID) promotes sharing of sequence, clinical and ...

Contained within this matrix shell is the viral RNA genome, which (for influenza A viruses) consists of eight single-stranded, negative-sense RNA segments (negative-sense refers to the genome ...

The influenza virus causes infection in the same way as most viruses: invading a body cell in your nose or throat, high-jacking the cell’s machinery, and using that to replicate its own genome.

we discuss the implications of burgeoning knowledge of innate immunity for therapy of influenza. Innate immunity refers to host defense functions that are directly encoded in the genome and are ...

To maintain vaccine efficacy, WHO regularly updates influenza vaccine strains based on global epidemiological, virological, ...

identified the first case of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) genotype D1.1 in dairy cattle through whole genome sequencing. APHIS was working closely with the Nevada Department of ...

Pigs are moderately susceptible to infection with a bovine-derived H5N1 avian influenza virus but don't spread it to other ...
