Abstract excerpt
Adaptive mutations and/or reassortments in avian influenza virus polymerase subunits PA, PB1, and PB2 are one of the major factors enabling the virus to overcome the species barrier to infect humans. The majority of human adaptation polymerase mutations have been identified in PB2; fewer adaptation mutations have been characterized in PA and PB1. Clade 2.2.1 avian influenza viruses (H5N1) are unique to Egypt and...
