The paper shows Rab11B is required for H3N2 influenza virus binding and entry but not H1N1, with the defect mapped to the HA gene.

This study uses primary bovine embryonic fibroblasts to investigate HPAI H5N1 infection dynamics and finds increased viral fitness in bovine-origin strains and bovine susceptibility to human seasonal IAV.

The paper identifies a mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein that enhances viral infection by promoting dimer formation and altering virion structure.
