Genetic sequences of H5N1 bird flu viruses collected from a person in Louisiana who became severely ill show signs of development of several mutations thought to affect the virus’ ability to ...

Our results suggest that other variants, such as the newly identified p.Gly477Ala variant, may also be associated with clinical features of VEXAS syndrome. We propose that an extended analysis of all ...

But genetic analysis of the virus that infected her body showed ominous mutations that researchers suggest potentially allowed it to target human cells more easily and cause severe disease — a ...

"The analysis identified low frequency mutations in the hemagglutinin gene of a sample sequenced from the patient, which were not found in virus sequences from poultry samples collected on the ...

The issue has also sparked discussion of a phenomenon known as Kessler syndrome. Kessler syndrome is a hypothetical scenario proposed by NASA scientist Donald J. Kessler in 1978, predicting what ...

The first severe case of bird flu in the US includes unique mutations, as per CDC. These mutations, found in the patient's respiratory sample, are rare but typically seen during severe infections.

All of this debris floating around in space could lead to a theoretical scenario known as the Kessler Syndrome. Here's what to know about space junk, why it's a problem and what's being done about it.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified mutations in a strain of the avian influenza virus H5N1, also known as bird flu, found in a Louisiana patient.

The event Reddy referred to is a hypothetical phenomenon called Kessler Syndrome. Named for American astrophysicist Donald Kessler and based on his 1978 academic paper, Kessler Syndrome — as the ...

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Thursday its analysis of samples from the first severe case of bird flu in the country last week showed mutations not seen in samples from ...

But there is no sign that mutations are widespread in nature. By Benjamin Mueller After someone in southwest Louisiana was hospitalized with a severe case of bird flu, the first such illness ...

Viral samples from a patient in Louisiana who was hospitalized with severe H5N1 avian influenza show genetic mutations that could make the pathogen spread more easily among humans, the Centers for ...
