Synergy between HA cleavage site sequence and NA-mediated plasminogen recruitment as a virulence mechanism for low pathogenic avian influenza
2025-07-11
Abstract excerpt
An outbreak of H3N1 low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV) in Belgium in 2019 caused unexpected levels of mortality and morbidity in poultry. These viruses possess an NA polymorphism associated with plasminogen binding, as well as an unusual sequence around the HA cleavage site; accordingly, HA cleavage mediated by NA-driven plasminogen recruitment has been proposed to underly their systemic spread and patho...
