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 ...

The virus lives in the nasal secretions and manure of infected birds. It can be spread by direct contact between birds and ...
