Comparative analysis of PB2 residue 627E/K/V in H5 subtypes of avian influenza viruses isolated in birds and mammals
2023-08-14
Abstract excerpt
Avian influenza viruses (AIV) are naturally found in wild birds, primarily in migratory waterfowl. Although species barriers exist, many AIV have demonstrated the ability to jump from birds into mammalian species. A key contributor to this jump is the adaption of the viral RNA polymerase complex to a new host for efficient replication of its RNA genome. The AIV PB2 gene appears to be essential in this conversion a...
