T cells may offer some protection in an H5N1 'spillover' scenario

La Jolla Institute for Immunology — Mon, 16 Sep 2024 13:05:34 EST

The LJI team uncovered important similarities between H5N1 and these common viruses, which allowed them to predict that many people already have "cross-reactive" T cells that are ready to target H5N1--should it ever mutate to cause widespread disease in humans.

Receptors make dairy cows a prime target for avian influenza

Iowa State University — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 11:05:53 EST

A new study by a broad team of researchers at Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine helps explain why dairy cows infected by highly pathogenic avian influenza are shedding the virus in their milk. Their findings could help develop biosecurity measures aimed at slowing the spread of the illness.
