Influenza hemagglutinin subunit vaccines are more effective and offer better cross protection against various influenza virus ...

Purdue University researchers now have developed an innovative, paper-based diagnostic test for rapidly detecting avian ...

China's top drug regulator has approved a homegrown flu treatment that acts on a novel protein target, adding to the arsenal of weapons against the infectious disease that kills hundreds of thousands ...

According to recent data from WastewaterScan, a Stanford-run program that tracks viral traces in local wastewater, levels of influenza B — a virus that causes similar symptoms as the flu ...

A reverse-transcriptase–polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) test specific for influenza A (H5) 2 was positive on the day of admission. The patient had signs of respiratory deterioration — chest ...

Though the majority of viruses don’t infect humans, the group does include famous human pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, influenza and Ebola. RNA viruses are all around us, including in our own homes.

The Cusack group at EMBL Grenoble studies the replication process of influenza viruses. A new study from this group sheds light on the different mutations that the avian influenza virus can ...

Influenza A virus contains an eight-segmented negative-sense single-stranded RNA genome which encodes at least ten major viral proteins (PB2, PB1, PA/P3, HA, NP, NA, M1, M2, NS1, and NS2). Each RNA ...

The Hindu explains how while most organisms prefer DNA over RNA, its chemical cousin, to store genetic information, many disease-causing viruses have benefited from having RNA as a genetic material.

Influenza A viruses are negative-sense RNA viruses that infect a wide-range of species, including birds and humans. The classification of these viruses depends on the variations in surface ...

Introduction During the past two decades, several human and animal RNA viruses have emerged/reemerged to cause epidemics/epizootics or pandemics/panzootics that inflict a huge negative impact on the ...
