Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Clade 2.3.4.4b Virus in Wild Birds, Chile
In December 2022, highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b virus emerged in Chile. We detected H5N1 virus in 93 samples and obtained 9 whole-genome sequences of strains from wild birds.

Evolution of Influenza A Virus by Mutation and Re-Assortment
Influenza A virus (IAV), a highly infectious respiratory pathogen, has continued to be a significant threat to global public health. To complete their life cycle, influenza viruses have evolved multiple strategies to interact with a host.

Human-Origin Influenza A(H3N2) Reassortant Viruses in Swine, Southeast Mexico
The genetic diversity of influenza A viruses circulating in swine in Mexico complicates control efforts in animals and presents a threat to humans, as shown by influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus. To describe evolution of swine influenza A viruses in Mexico and

Canalization of the evolutionary trajectory of the human influenza virus [PDF]
Since its emergence in 1968, influenza A (H3N2) has evolved extensively in genotype and antigenic phenotype. Antigenic evolution occurs in the context of a two-dimensional 'antigenic map', while genetic evolution shows a characteristic ladder-like ...

Influenza pathogenesis: mechanisms of modulation by agent proteins
Modern concepts of the influence of the proteins from viruses-etiological agents of flu – Influenzavirus A, B and C (Orthomyxoviridae) – on the development of different elements of the main disease pathogenesis are analyzed in the review.
