Genetic determinants of receptor-binding preference and zoonotic potential of H9N2 avian influenza viruses
2020-05-12
Abstract excerpt
Receptor recognition and binding is the first step of viral infection and a key determinant of host specificity. The inability of avian influenza viruses to effectively bind human-like sialylated receptors is a major impediment to their efficient transmission in humans and pandemic capacity. Influenza H9N2 viruses are endemic in poultry across Asia and parts of Africa where they occasionally infect humans and are...
