Investigating the evolutionary plasticity of influenza virus splicing using influenza A virus segment 7 as a model system

周恕, Colin Sharp, Eleanor R. Gaunt, Rute Maria Pinto, Paul Digard

This study investigates the evolutionary flexibility of influenza A virus splicing by testing mutations in SD and SA sites, finding that small changes can activate alternative splicing and produce viable variants with altered ion channel and M1 proteins.

The cow udder is a potential coinfection site for influenza A viruses

Rute Maria Pinto, Colin Sharp, Maia Beeson, Nunticha Pankaew, Jack A. Hassard, Alexander Moxom, Callum Magill, Rebecca A. Ross, Laura Tuck, Stephen Meek, Hui Min Lee, Kirsty Jensen, Inga R. Dry, Pedro Melo, Jiayun Yang, , Paul Digard

The study shows cow mammary gland cells can support replication of multiple IAV strains and are susceptible to co-infection with human and avian IAVs, suggesting the udder may act as a site for viral reassortment.
