The H5 subtype highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) has been introduced to South Korea every 2 or 3 years via wild migratory waterfowls, causing devastating damages to the poultry industry.

Mutations in MBX2546-resistant influenza A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) viruses are mapped in the HA stem region near the amino terminus of HA2. Finally, we have modeled the binding site of MBX2546 using molecular ...

Although most of the reported human infections from the USA so far 1,2 have been mild, the virus can change its profile rapidly. To reduce mortality and morbidity from influenza in humans, vaccines ...

Increasing farmed poultry can facilitate enhanced transmission of infectious pathogens among birds, such as avian influenza virus among others, which have the potential to induce widespread mortality ...

However, these symptoms can occur with other viral respiratory illnesses. We reported a case of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and influenza A virus coinfection. During the epidemic, ...

There are four types of influenza virus. Influenza A is the most common, followed by influenza B. Both are highly contagious and have similar symptoms, including fever, chills, and body aches.

Avian influenza spreads by direct contact with infected birds or their saliva/faeces. Spread can also occur from indirect contact, from droplets or dust containing virus. You may be at higher risk of ...

Knowing the crystal structure of this "doorway" protein, says Fraser, is key to finding helpful drugs to stop coronavirus and influenza viruses, because it is very similar to other important ...

A RECENT study has confirmed that an H5N1 avian influenza virus isolated from a dairy farm worker in Michigan, USA can spread through the air between mammals, raising new concerns about zoonotic ...
