A new study published in Nature Microbiology has uncovered significant genetic and antigenic diversity among H9N2 avian ...

there's a possibility that H5N1 could infect a person who is already infected with seasonal flu. From there, those two viruses could swap genes, thus opening the door for H5N1 to pick up genes ...

The influenza virus manipulates the body's gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread, according to researchers at the University of Gothenburg. Their study also shows that an already ...

A new study highlights both the promise and the limitations of gene editing, as a highly lethal form of avian influenza continues to spread around the world. By Emily Anthes Scientists have used ...

Highly pathogenic avian influenza reached Antarctica’s mainland in early 2024, leaving Australia, New Zealand and Pacific ...

In the near future, gene silencing against influenza viruses may also be successfully applied in antiviral therapeutics. There are several bottlenecks in the successful application of gene ...

H5N1 flu has version 5 of the H protein and version 1 of the N protein. There are also variants for the other genes. If two different flu viruses meet in a cell that they’ve both infected ...

The UK team used the technology to tweak a chicken gene that is responsible for producing the protein ANP32A. During infection, the bird flu virus takes over this protein to help make copies of ...

In a scientific first, U.K. researchers have used gene editing technology to create poultry that's partially resistant to bird flu infection, according to a study published Tuesday in Nature ...

Betsy Arakawa, the wife of actor Gene Hackman, searched the internet for information about flu and Covid symptoms and breathing techniques in the days before she died, police records have revealed.

As bird flu sweeps across US poultry and cattle farms, researchers are racing to find ways to contain the outbreaks before ...
