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 interactions ...

Influenza A virus (IAV) possesses a segmented, negative-sense RNA genome comprising eight distinct viral RNA (vRNA) segments. These segments form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes that are selectively ...

Researchers from the universities of Basel and Zurich have used a historical specimen from UZH’s Medical Collection to decode the genome of the virus responsible for the 1918–1920 influenza pandemic ...

Influenza is a global health concern, due to annual epidemics of the disease and its potential to cause a pandemic with novel strain variants. Whole-genome sequencing enables ongoing surveillance and ...

Traditional epidemiological investigation of nosocomial transmission of influenza involves the identification of patients who have the same influenza virus type and who have overlapped in time and ...

The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday announced that genetic fragments from the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 have been detected in the pasteurized, commercial milk supply.

The influenza A virus (IAV) has been the cause of six major flu pandemics, responsible for 50 to 100 million deaths globally.

Here’s what medical experts say could be behind the recent rise of influenza cases in Japan, India, Singapore, Thailand, and ...
