An emerging PB2-627 polymorphism increases the zoonotic risk of avian influenza virus by overcoming ANP32 host restriction in mammalian and avian hosts
27 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
Alterations in the PB2-627 domain of avian influenza virus (AIV) can potentially increase the risk of cross-host species infections in humans and mammals. Recently, there has been a rise in human cases of AIV infections without the presence of the known mammalian determinant PB2-E627K. Here, we identified a variant, PB2-627V, which has evolved in poultry and has contributed to the increase in human AIV...
