Chinese scientists have found out how the H5N1 virus initially invades the mammary glands of dairy cattle and may have ...

The multicomponent mRNA-1083 vaccine elicited noninferior immune responses in adult patients when compared with coadministered influenza and COVID-19 vaccines.

Kennedy’s decision to replace ACIP wholesale and the comments he has made about deviating from standard vaccine policymaking ...

Recent findings reveal H5N1 avian influenza is evolving, evading immunity, and increasing pandemic potential, highlighting urgent vaccine adaptation needs.

In the end, 6.5 million of Herbruck's birds either died from the avian flu virus or were culled in an effort to stop its spread. The U.S. Department of Agriculture calls it "stamping out" the virus.

The neuraminidase (NA) is the second major influenza A and B virus surface antigen. Like HA, NA is subject to antigenic drift, indicating that immune responses against NA exert a selective pressure on ...

There are two players every flu season: influenza Type A and Type B. Influenza A tends to pop up early in the season and accounts for more than 75 percent of all cases, while influenza B typically ...

Colorized transmission electron micrograph of influenza A/H3N2 virus particles, isolated from a patient sample and then propagated in cell culture. Influenza A virus particles adapt shape—as ...

Scientists reveal crystal structure of protein that allows viruses to infect cells in human airway New research by scientists at the University of Toronto and the Structural Genomics Consortium ...

H5N1 avian influenza is highly pathogenic and has been devastating bird populations worldwide. It continues to do so, and is also moving into new animals, like skunks, bears, raccoons, cats, and dairy ...

Cold and flu viruses’ rapid decrease in viability outside the body is thanks to three main factors: their enveloped structure, environmental conditions and how much our mucus surrounds it after ...

The influenza A virus can be broken down into different subtypes based on the chemical structure of hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N) proteins on their surface. For instance, H1N1 and H3N2 are ...
