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.

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 ...

If H5N1 gains the ability to transmit efficiently among mammals, it could pose a significant threat to both pet and public health. Experts warn that mutations in the virus's genetic structure ...

Mutated H5N1 Bird Flu Found in Cats: Scientists have identified a genetic mutation in two infected cats that is linked to increased infectiousness and disease severity. Mutation Similar to One ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
