Transient RNA structures underlie highly pathogenic avian influenza virus genesis
2024-01-11
Abstract excerpt
Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) cause severe disease and high fatality in poultry 1 . They emerge exclusively from H5 and H7 low pathogenic avian influenza viruses (LPAIVs) 2 . Although insertion of a furin-cleavable multibasic cleavage site (MBCS) in the hemagglutinin gene was identified decades ago as the genetic basis for LPAIV-to-HPAIV transition 3,4 , the exact mechanisms underlying said...
