This study compares innate immune responses to Victoria and Yamagata influenza B viruses, finding lineage-specific differences in immune kinetics, gene expression, and cellular tropism.

The paper examines the receptor-binding specificity of a bovine HPAI H5N1 virus using multiple assays and finds it preferentially binds avian-type receptors.

This study shows that contemporary Influenza B Victoria viruses provide cross-protection against Yamagata viruses, while Yamagata viruses do not offer similar protection, suggesting neuraminidase antibodies may be key to this asymmetry.
