Abstract excerpt
H9N2 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) remain a significant economic burden on poultry production and a persistent zoonotic threat. Hemagglutinin (HA), a surface glycoprotein mediating viral entry and pathogenesis, critically depends on thermostability for its function. Our previous study indicated that recent H9N2 AIVs have experienced a reduction in hemagglutination activity and exhibit low HA thermostability;...
