Influenza A virus (IAV) possesses a segmented, negative-sense RNA genome comprising eight distinct viral RNA (vRNA) segments. These segments form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes that are selectively ...

MADISON -- By solving a long-standing puzzle about how the influenza virus assembles its genetic contents into infectious particles that enable the virus to spread from cell to cell, scientists have ...

Although viral RNA or infectious virions have been detected in the feces of individuals infected with human influenza A and B viruses (IAV/IBV), the mechanism of viral survival in the gastrointestinal ...

A team of scientists at University of Oxford have worked with multiple techniques at Diamond Light Source, the UK’s national synchrotron, to solve the structure of the influenza replication machinery ...

Influenza has always been a major health issue, but one that the general population does not consider overly dangerous. However, a major epidemic of influenza occurs roughly every 30 years. In 1918, ...

We have observed a striking differential effect of the ionophore, monensin, on replication of influenza virus and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) and baby hamster ...
