Booked @british-airways.bsky.social flights for me and my daughter last week. Paid >£2,200, got confirmation & booking ref. Today I go to check the arrival time: booking gone. Called BA: “auto-cancelled by the system” with no notice. ~2 hs phone call to fix it. What if I had shown up at the airport?

Did horses act as intermediate hosts that facilitated the emergence of 1918 pandemic influenza? Based on historical research of equine influenza epidemiology and horse movement data, we hypothesize that horses acted as intermediate hosts during the ge

Thanks to medical historian Martin Furmanski for driving the research of this hypothesis that might generate new leads about the origin of the 1918 flu pandemic. Just published in @jidjournal.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1093/infd...

A must read that illustrates the importance of free and independent press. And an amazing story.

Seasonal influenza a virus lineages exhibit divergent abilities to antagonize interferon induction and signaling Author summary Successful replication and transmission of influenza A viruses (IAVs) requires effective subversion of the innate immune response. We developed a new single cell method to examine the i...

POLYGENIC DETERMINANTS OF H5N1 ADAPTATION TO BOVINE CELLS H5N1 avian influenza virus (lineage 2.3.4.4b, B3.13 genotype) has caused, unexpectedly, a large outbreak in dairy cattle in North America. It is critical to ascertain how this virus has specifically a...

🐄 NEW | Research from the CVR reveals how #H5N1 avian influenza has adapted to infect bovine cells, contributing to a major outbreak in dairy cattle in North America.

Multiple internal genomic segments of the virus drive its adaptation to bovine cells.

Evidence of Influenza A(H5N1) Spillover Infections in Horses, Mongolia Evidence of H5N1 Influenza Spillover Infections in Horses, Mongolia

Horses are natural hosts of influenza viruses so it’s no surprise that they can be infected by H5N1. We should monitor such infections in equine populations to prevent the emergence of novel influenza viruses that might affect horses and other animals, or even humans.
