The project makes all sequence data publicly available through GenBank, an international, NIH-funded, searchable online database.This research helps to provide international researchers with the information needed to develop new vaccines, therapies and diagnostics, as well as improve understanding of the overall molecular evolution of Influenza and other genetic factors that determine their ...
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 (A/H5N1) is a subtype of the influenza A virus, which causes influenza (flu), predominantly in birds. It is enzootic (maintained in the population) in many bird populations, and also panzootic (affecting animals of many species over a wide area). [1]
Influenza C virus and influenza D virus have seven genome segments that encode nine major proteins. [12] Three segments encode three subunits of an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) complex: PB1, a transcriptase, PB2, which recognizes 5' caps, and PA (P3 for influenza C virus and influenza D virus), an endonuclease.

Since its establishment as an alternative to sharing avian influenza data [16] via conventional public-domain archives, [17] GISAID has facilitated the exchange of outbreak genome data [17] during the H1N1 pandemic [18] [19] in 2009, the H7N9 epidemic [20] [21] in 2013, the COVID-19 pandemic [22] [23] and the 2022–2023 mpox outbreak.
Influenza B virus is almost exclusively a human pathogen, and is less common than influenza A. The only other animal known to be susceptible to influenza B infection is the seal. [47] This type of influenza mutates at a rate 2–3 times lower than type A [48] and consequently is less genetically diverse, with only one influenza B serotype. [26]
The Influenza Research Database (IRD) [1] [2] [3] is an integrative and comprehensive publicly available database and analysis resource to search, analyze, visualize, save and share data for influenza virus research.
On Thursday, Roche Holdings AG (OTC:RHHBY) released positive topline results of the phase 3 CENTERSTONE study of Xofluza (baloxavir marboxil), an antiviral that showed a reduction in the ...
Viral phylodynamics is the study of how epidemiological, immunological, and evolutionary processes act and potentially interact to shape viral phylogenies. [1] Since the term was coined in 2004, research on viral phylodynamics has focused on transmission dynamics in an effort to shed light on how these dynamics impact viral genetic variation.
