Dairy herds in Nevada have been infected by a version of the H5N1 bird flu not previously seen in cows, putting virologists ...

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

The team found that animals that had the virus inoculated directly into their lungs became severely ill, whereas animals that ...

The finding indicates that the virus, known as H5N1, has spilled from birds into cows at least twice — leading to these two ...

To test this idea, scientists studied the genetic sequences of a key element of the virus, hemagglutinin. This glycoprotein allows the pathogen to attach to host cells. Their analysis focused on ...

A new strain of bird flu has been detected on a duck farm in California. The World Organisation for Animal Health reported ...

Guillain-Barre Syndrome has caused concern in Maharashtra with 163 suspected cases and five fatalities. This rare ...

Agencies to offer recommendations to prepare for a possible increase in transmission of the virus to non-avian species.

Viruses are masters at disguise. When they are pushed too far by our immune system, they send new virus variants into play that are no longer recognized by immune cells. They escape our immune system ...

When it comes to the potential of H5N1 avian flu, otherwise known as bird flu, picking up mutations that may lead to human-to ...

In order to adapt vaccines to new circulating virus variants as promptly as possible, it is first necessary to find out which among the numerous mutations are actually responsible for the immune ...
