  1. #Avian and #Human #Influenza A Virus #Receptors in #Bovine #Mammary #Gland, Emerg Infect Dis.: wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/9

    An outbreak of influenza A (#H5N1) virus was detected in dairy cows in the #USA. We detected influenza A virus #sialic acid -α2,3/α2,6-galactose host receptors in bovine mammary glands by lectin histochemistry. Our results provide a rationale for the high levels of H5N1 virus in #milk from infected cows.

  2. Fucosylated and non-fucosylated alpha2,3 #sialosides were detected on the #bovine #mammary #gland tissues, BioRxIV: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    Receptors for high pathogenicity avian #influenza viruses (#HPAIVs) in mammary glands of dairy #cattle were detected using various recombinant #hemagglutinins (rHAs). Results demonstrated presence of fucosylated and non-fucosylated alpha2,3 sialosides, which were typically targeted by the HA of clade 2.3.4.4b HPAIVs.

  3. #Virome #Sequencing Identifies #H5N1 Avian #Influenza in #Wastewater from Nine #Cities. MedRxIV, medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    19 of 23 monitored sites had at least one detection event, and H5N1 serotype became dominant over seasonal influenza over time. A variant analysis suggests avian or #bovine origin but other potential sources, especially humans, could not be excluded.
