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

Influenza viruses are covered with two lollipop-shaped proteins called hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, for which the viruses are named (H5N1, for example). These proteins are what allows a virus ...
