Abstract excerpt
Human influenza A viruses replicate in the upper respiratory tract at a temperature of about 33 degrees C, whereas avian viruses replicate in the intestinal tract at a temperature close to 41 degrees C. In the present study, we analyzed the influence of low temperature (33 degrees C) on RNA replication of avian and human viruses in cultured cells. The kinetics of replication of the NP segment were similar at 33...
