Viral diseases account for an increasing proportion of deaths worldwide. Viruses maneuver
host cell machinery in an attempt to subvert the intracellular environment favorable for their …

An influenza pandemic happens when a novel influenza A virus is able to infect and transmit
efficiently to a new, distinct host species. Although the exact timing of pandemics is …

Influenza A virus (IAV) causes not only seasonal respiratory illness, but also outbreaks of
more severe disease and pandemics when novel strains emerge as a result of reassortment …

Influenza A virus (IAV) has caused recurrent epidemics and severe pandemics. In this study,
we adapted an MS2-MCP live-cell imaging system to visualize IAV replication. A reporter …

Exactly why human infection of avian influenza A virus H7N9 causes more severe disease in
the elderly remains elusive. In this study, we found that H7N9 PB1‐F2 is a pathogenic factor …

Influenza A virus (IAV) infection induces host cell responses that could derive in
inflammatory and apoptotic response. In this respect, in multiple pathological situations, TGF …

Avian influenza viruses (AIV) pose a continuous challenge to global health and economy.
While countermeasures exist to control outbreaks in poultry, the persistent circulation of AIV …

A pandemic happens when a novel influenza A virus is able to infect and transmit efficiently
to a new, distinct host species. Although the exact timing of pandemics is uncertain, it is …

Upstream stimulatory factors are kinds of multi-functional transcription factors, which are
expressed in eukaryotes widely, including Upstream stimulatory factor 1 (USFl) and …

The molecular mechanisms and hub genes identified for disease resistance in ducks
against highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) infection show substantial …
