The special neuraminidase stalk-motif responsible for increased virulence and pathogenesis of H5N1 influenza A virus. [PDF]
The variation of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus results in gradually increased virulence in poultry, and human cases continue to accumulate.

H5N1 Clade 2.2 Polymorphism Tracing Identifies Influenza Recombination and Potential Vaccine Targets [PDF]
Highly pathogenic Influenza A H5N1 was first identified in Guangdong Province in 1996, followed by human cases in Hong Kong in 1997 1. The number of confirmed human cases now exceeds 300 and the associated Case Fatality Rate exceeds 60% 2.

Isocyanides as Influenza A Virus Subtype H5N1 Wild‐Type M2 Channel Inhibitors
AbstractBasic bulky amines such as amantadine are well‐characterized M2 channel blockers, useful for treating influenza. Herein we report our surprising findings that charge‐neutral, bulky isocyanides exhibit activities similar to—or even higher than—that of amantadine.

Pathobiology of avian influenza in wild bird species [PDF]
Avian influenza viruses, especially highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), affect a wide range of species, including humans and have thus become a major concern for veterinary medicine and public health.

Geographic Co-distribution of Influenza Virus Subtypes H7N9 and H5N1 in Humans, China
To the Editor: Human infection with a novel low pathogenicity influenza A(H7N9) virus in eastern China has recently raised global public health concerns (1). The geographic sources of infection have yet to be fully clarified, and confirmed human cases from 1 province have not been linked to those from other provinces. While some studies have identified

Novel phylogenetic algorithm to monitor human tropism in Egyptian H5N1-HPAIV reveals evolution toward efficient human-to-human transmission [PDF]
Years of endemic infections with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A subtype H5N1 virus in poultry and high numbers of infections in humans provide ample opportunity in Egypt for H5N1-HPAIV to develop pandemic potential.

A protective role for complement C3 protein during pandemic 2009 H1N1 and H5N1 influenza A virus infection. [PDF]
Highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza infections are associated with enhanced inflammatory and cytokine responses, severe lung damage, and an overall dysregulation of innate immunity.
