TAMPA, Fla. — There has been a spike in flu cases across much of Florida. In the Bay area, Pinellas and Citrus counties specifically are seeing cases rise, according to the Department of Health.

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. ...

The broad-spectrum antiviral drug Arbidol shows efficacy against influenza viruses by targeting the hemagglutinin (HA) fusion machinery. ... K Swaminathan, P Müller, KM Downard, Inhibition of ...

“Influenza B can be severe as well, but influenza A is the dominant version of influenza infecting people right now.” The flu season feels worse than normal this year. Is it?

Its full scientific name is avian influenza A(H5N1), so it contains hemagglutinin 5 and neuraminidase 1. Bird flu primarily affects birds, as per the name, but has adapted to infect cows and can ...

For the 2023–2024 season, all influenza vaccines are expected to be quadrivalent, containing hemagglutinin (HA) derived from one influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus, one influenza A(H3N2) virus, one ...

Researchers proposed that vaccines targeting the immunosubdominant yet conserved hemagglutinin (HA) stem could trigger broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against influenza A viruses.

Understanding mechanisms of resistance to antiviral inhibitors can reveal nuanced features of targeted viral mechanisms and, in turn, lead to improved strategies for inhibitor design. Arbidol is a ...

Flu vaccinations protect against four subtypes of influenza. But we don’t know what subtypes will circulate this flu season. Why can you still get influenza if you’ve had a flu shot?

Researchers performed a quantitative assessment of the age-stratified seroprevalence of hemagglutination inhibition antibodies against five swine influenza viruses circulating in the Guangzhou and ...
