New computational modeling of avian influenza variants' immunoprotein interactions—developed by a research team at the ...

The H5N1 avian influenza virus is mutating to evade immune defenses in mammals following prior infection or vaccination.

No one wants their cat to get sick - and one emerging illness could do just that. Here's what to know, and what you can do to keep your indoor kitty safer.

Scientists are sounding alarms about a genetic mutation that was recently identified in four dairy cow herds, nearly one year ...

Essentially, this means that while 36% of the H5N1 genetic code has diverged, or mutated, two thirds has not – which implies this unchanged genetic coding is serving an important function.

A recent study presents compelling genetic and meteorological evidence that H5N1 can travel significant distances via wind, challenging the conventional wisdom and highlighting the need to ...

A genetic mutation of H5N1 detected in California dairy cows raises concerns about increased mammal-to-mammal transmission ...

Since the beginning of this year, more than 50 cats have been infected with H5N1 bird flu. A genetic mutation of the H5N1 bird flu virus — a mutation associated with increased infectiousness and ...

Previous exposures to older flu strains prime the immune system to produce antibodies against bird flu (H5N1).

New computational modeling of avian influenza variants’ immunoprotein interactions – developed by a research team at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte – reveals the H5N1 influenza virus is ...
