Scientists have developed a simulation method incorporating quantum mechanics to model the electronic structure of nearly ...

Some viruses appear capable of bypassing vaccines designed to eradicate them. This phenomenon, already observed in several pathogens, could also concern avian flu. Sino-British researchers ...

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

Scientists were slow to recognize that Covid spreads through the air. Some are now trying to get ahead of the bird flu.

A new reverse mutational scanning approach can detect viral mutations responsible for immune evasion in new virus variants.

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

Scientists are concerned about the mutations happening in the H5N1 virus — more commonly known as bird flu. This week, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control warned that new mutations ...

The California duck farm's strain of H5N9 is different from those earlier cases because this time it is closely related to a ...

Experts say our cities have a valuable tool that can help us keep better tabs on the virus: sewage. While wastewater already ...

It was an experimental in vitro test that, via a range of different laboratory techniques, introduced mutations at a specific point in the HA protein of the H5N1 virus, and then assessed how they ...
