A Combination of HA and PA Mutations Enhances Virulence in a Mouse-Adapted H6N6 Influenza A Virus
2 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: H6N6 viruses are commonly isolated from domestic ducks, and avian-to-swine transmissions of H6N6 viruses have been detected in China. Whether subsequent adaptation of H6N6 viruses in mammals would increase their pathogenicity toward humans is not known. To address this, we generated a mouse-adapted (MA) swine influenza H6N6 virus (A/swine/Guangdong/K6/2010 [GDK6-MA]) which exhibited greater virulence...
