Genetic Determinants of Receptor-Binding Preference and Zoonotic Potential of H9N2 Avian Influenza Viruses
1 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
As of 2020, over 60 infections of humans by H9N2 influenza viruses have been recorded in countries where the virus is endemic. Avian-like cellular receptors are the primary target for these viruses. However, given that human infections have been detected on an almost monthly basis since 2015, there may be a capacity for H9N2 viruses to evolve and gain the ability to target human-like cellular receptors. Here we...
