This study shows that IFITM3 deficiency in mice allows avian influenza viruses to infect and adapt more effectively, suggesting a role for IFITM3 in preventing zoonotic virus emergence.

This study examines mucosal and systemic immune dynamics in a diverse cohort of children and adults with COVID-19, identifying immune markers associated with disease severity and outcomes.

This study develops an mRNA vaccine against clade 2.3.4.4b H5 avian influenza virus and shows it is immunogenic and protective in mice and ferrets.

This study tracks the resurgence of H5N1 avian influenza, identifying key events and genetic changes that contributed to its global spread from 2016/17 to 2021/22.

This study investigates chelerythrine's anti-Zika virus effects, finding it reduces viral infectivity through PKC- and cell-independent mechanisms by blocking virus attachment.

This study evaluates the consistency of ferret transmission experiments across laboratories for two H1N1 influenza viruses, finding concordant results and suggesting a minimum of three to five labs for reliable risk assessment.

This study estimates interspecies transmission and geographic diffusion of avian influenza A subtypes among North American wild birds using genomic sequences, finding host diversity and ecology influence spread patterns.

This study investigates how differentiated human tonsillar epithelial cells respond to different influenza viruses, showing differential tropism, infectivity, and cytokine responses.

This study shows that influenza A and D viruses interfere with each other during coinfection based on the timing and order of infection, with proinflammatory responses playing a key role.
