New research from the Universities of Cambridge and Glasgow highlights a worrying trait of avian influenza (bird flu) viruses ...

Bird flu viruses can replicate at temperatures higher than a typical fever — one of the body’s ways of stopping viruses in ...

A study uncovers the viral gene that lets bird flu beat fever, reshaping surveillance strategies as H5N1 continues to spread.

Study reveals avian flu survives fever-level temperatures via a PB1 gene advantage, explaining its severe threat to humans.

Bird flu viruses are a particular threat to humans because they can replicate at temperatures higher than a typical fever, ...

Bird flu viruses can replicate at temperatures higher than a typical fever- one of the body’s ways of stopping viruses in their tracks-, increasing the threat to humans, according to new research.

Avian influenza viruses pose a specific risk to people, as they can multiply at temperatures exceeding a normal fever, which ...

Researchers discovered why bird flu can survive temperatures that stop human flu in its tracks. A key gene, PB1, gives avian viruses the ability to replicate even at fever-level heat. Mice experiments ...

The highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly called bird flu, has led to the culling of hundreds of millions of birds in ...
