COVID and the 1918 flu pandemic gave us playbooks on how to prepare for the next pandemic. But we aren’t using it.

Due to the segmented nature of the influenza genome, in which coding sequences are located on individual RNA strands, genomes are readily shuffled in host cells that are infected with more than ...

Over 20,000 influenza genomes have been sequenced through the Influenza Genome Project. The Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID) promotes sharing of sequence, clinical and ...

To fight the virus that causes influenza, one of the avenues being explored by scientists is the development of drugs capable of destabilizing its genome, which is made up of eight RNA molecules.

Scientists have identified a novel influenza A virus (H18N12) in fishing bats in the Colombian Caribbean, revealing genetic ...

To maintain vaccine efficacy, WHO regularly updates influenza vaccine strains based on global epidemiological, virological, ...
