Long Island’s last commercial duck farm is rebuilding after a bird flu outbreak forced the destruction of its entire ...

A new study published in Nature Microbiology has uncovered significant genetic and antigenic diversity among H9N2 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) circulating in poultry across China, highlighting ...

While the discovery that a lone 226L hemagglutinin mutation could be a potential single-step shortcut to human adaptation is alarming, it doesn’t guarantee a pandemic. Other mutations — such as at ...

Although human cases are rare and sustained human-to-human transmission has not occurred, the threat of mutation looms. One of the barriers preventing bird flu from spreading efficiently in humans ...

Avian influenza A viruses are divided into subtypes based on a combination of two proteins found on their surfaces – hemagglutinin and neuraminidase – referred to as HxNy. Only two subtypes of ...

Scientists have discovered that H5N1, the strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus currently spreading in U.S. dairy cows, only needs a single mutation to readily latch on to human cells ...

Influenza Vaccine, Recombinant Hemagglutinin (Flublok) generic is a vaccine for seasonal influenza caused by virus subtypes A (H1N1 and H3N2) and one of type B. It is approved for use in persons ...

The hemagglutinin helps the virus attach itself to a cell to infect it, and the neuraminidase releases the virus to allow it to infect other cells. That, in the simplest of terms, is how the virus ...
