IBDV protein that dampens poultry immune response could inform vaccine development

Work carried out by scientists at The Pirbright Institute has revealed that differences in virulence between strains of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) may be partly down to changes in a viral protein called VP4. Their findings could help us to understand why very…

An alternative AUG codon in segment 5 of the 2009 pandemic influenza A virus is a swine-derived virulence motif

The 2009 influenza A virus (IAV) pandemic (pdm2009) was caused by a swine H1N1 virus with several atypical genetic features. Here, we investigate the origin and significance of an upstream AUG (uAUG) codon in the 5’-untranslated region of the NP gene. Phylogeny indicated…
