Genome BC is funding a set of research projects to address the risk associated with a strain of avian influenza, of the H5N1 subtype. The BCCDC is conducting the projects in partnership with the ...

Due to the segmented nature of the influenza genome, in which coding sequences are located on individual RNA strands, genomes are readily shuffled in host cells that are infected with more than ...

The influenza A virus genome consists of eight segments of single-stranded, negative-sense viral RNA, which encode multiple ...

A simple model projected which strains were likely to be highly transmissible, with implications for public health.

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 ...

A new study says the flu A viral strain can adapt shape to stay infectious. Infectious disease doctors break down what this ...

we discuss the implications of burgeoning knowledge of innate immunity for therapy of influenza. Innate immunity refers to host defense functions that are directly encoded in the genome and are ...

To fight the virus that causes influenza, one of the avenues being explored by scientists is the development of drugs capable of destabilizing its genome, which is made up of eight RNA molecules.

3D reconstruction of the arrangement of an influenza virus RNA molecule (yellow) in its double-helix protein coat (purple and green). The atomic visualisation of these intimate protective ...

The newer variant of avian influenza that recently infected dairy cattle in Nevada has a genetic change that’s thought to ...

Scientists have detected a highly pathogenic type of avian influenza in Nevada dairy cattle, the U.S. Department of ...
