Nearly 119,000 birds have been culled at a farm in California after a bird flu called H5N9 was detected among the poultry.
The research team, studying the efficacy of a preventive antibody-based therapy, found it successfully protects monkeys from ...
The influenza A virus (IAV) is known for its segmented genome, which consists of eight distinct viral RNA segments (vRNAs). This unique structure allows for genetic reassortment, a process that ...
Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a protein involved in viral ...
The highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 infection has killed millions of birds around the world, and has spread to humans ...
However, our improved knowledge about influenza virus structure and its biological properties have enabled us to use genetic reassortment techniques to modify 'wild-type' strains so as to increase ...
A new antibody therapy effectively protects monkeys from severe H5N1 avian flu, offering hope for a universal flu vaccine and ...
All nine macaques given the control developed severe disease when exposed to bird flu, as did all given the smallest dose of ...
