A single PA-X mutation in bovine-origin H5N1 influenza virus reduces pathogenicity in mice
2026-05-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Dairy cows have emerged as a reservoir for human infection with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1. At the bovine–human interface, H5N1 strains may acquire adaptive mutations that influence their zoonotic potential. Sequence analysis identified a K142E substitution (bovine to human) in the PA and PA-X proteins, with the potential to affect both polymerase activity and host shutoff. He...
