…vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein. Such viruses, called pseudotypes, allow the study of the Mengla virus glycoprotein without having infectious virus. The VSV pseudotyped virus with the Mengla virus glycoprotein required…
…both human and avian influenza viruses. When two influenza viruses infect a cell, the viral genes mix and the new viruses produced can have genes from both infecting viruses. Influenza…
…virus can block its replication. The current influenza virus vaccine contains a 2009 H1N1 component that would protect against the 1918-like avian influenza virus. The crux of the problem seems…

I am convinced that Zika virus causes microcephaly in humans, but it would be valuable to have an animal model to study how the virus crosses the placenta and damages…
