The NS1 Gene Contributes to the Virulence of H5N1 Avian Influenza Viruses

TL;DR: The results indicate that the NS1 gene is critical for the pathogenicity of avian influenza virus in chickens and that the amino acid residue Ala149 correlates with the ability of these viruses to antagonize interferon induction in CEFs.

Amino Acid 226 in the Hemagglutinin of H9N2 Influenza Viruses Determines Cell Tropism and Replication in Human Airway Epithelial Cells

TL;DR: The results suggest that the variation in residue 226 in the HA affects both cell tropism and replication of H9N2 viruses in HAE cells and may have implications for the abilities of these viruses to infect humans.

Evolution and ecology of influenza A viruses.

TL;DR: Wild aquatic bird populations have long been considered the natural reservoir for influenza A viruses with virus transmission from these birds seeding other avian and mammalian hosts, but recent studies in bats have suggested other reservoir species may also exist.

Characterization of a Novel Influenza A Virus Hemagglutinin Subtype (H16) Obtained from Black-Headed Gulls

TL;DR: A previously unidentified antigenic subtype of HA (H16), detected in viruses circulating in black-headed gulls in Sweden, is described and proposed that sequence analyses of HA and NA genes of influenza A viruses be used for the rapid identification of existing and novel HA andNA subtypes.

A review of avian influenza in different bird species

TL;DR: Only type A influenza viruses are known to cause natural infections in birds, but viruses of all 15 haemagglutinin and all nine neuraminidase influenza A subtypes in the majority of possible combinations have been isolated from avian species.

Human infection with influenza H9N2

TL;DR: It is shown that serum samples from blood donors in Hong Kong had neutralising antibody suggestive of prior infection with influenza H9N2.

A single amino acid in the PB2 gene of influenza A virus is a determinant of host range.

TL;DR: The nucleotide sequences of thePB2 gene of each of the four hr mutants revealed that a single amino acid substitution at position 627 (Glu-->Lys) was responsible for the restoration of the ability of the PB2 single gene reassortant to replicate in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells.
