Researchers identified nine mutations in an avian influenza strain from a person in Texas, but the strain is still susceptable to antivirals.
An early isolate shows a unique constellation of mutations that enable it to more easily replicate in human cells and cause more severe disease in mice compared with a strain found in dairy cattle, said researchers from Texas Biomedical Research Institute (Texas Biomed) (Emerg Microbes Infect 2025;14[1]:2447614).
The finding highlights a
