  1. ''Of the nine D1.1 #infections in #humans, three viruses acquired #PB2 #mammalian #adaptations: D701N in A/Nevada/10/2025 and E627K in A/Wyoming/01/2025 and A/British Columbia/PHL-2032/2024''

    All advanced species have been eaten by Ants.
    Hmm.

    @cstross SF author near here wrote a couple of worlds/SF books in which the eventual winners are or are going to be the #eusocial species, of which #ants and suchlike seem to be examples.

    Perhaps those winners would not bother to talk to us #mammalian species.

  3. #Chicken ANP32A-independent #replication of highly pathogenic avian #influenza viruses potentially leads to #mammalian #adaptation-related amino acid substitutions in viral #PB2 and #PA proteins

    Source: Journal of Virology, ABSTRACTAcidic nuclear phosphoprotein 32 family member A (ANP32A) is an important host factor that supports the efficient replication of avian influenza viruses (AIVs). To develop an antiviral strategy against Gs/Gd-lineage H5 highly pathogenic…

  4. An emerging #PB2-627 #polymorphism increases #pandemic #potential of avian #influenza virus by breaking through ANP32 host restriction in #mammalian & avian hosts, BioRxIV: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    by screening the global PB2 seq., we discovered a new independent cluster with PB2-627V emerged in the '10s, which is prevalent in various avian, mammalian, & human isolates of AIVs, including #H9N2, #H7N9, #H3N8, 2.3.4.4b #H5N1, and other subtypes.

  5. Decoding non- #human #mammalian adaptive #signatures of 2.3.4.4b #H5N1 to assess its human adaptive #potential, BioRxIV: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    H5N1 infections in mammals across time showed a unique set of adaptations in 2.3.4.4b clade compared to previously circulating strains, especially acquisition of Q591 adaptation in #PB2 that enables human adaptation.

  7. ''It is noteworthy that crucial mutations associated with #mammalian #host #adaptation and enhanced #transmission, specifically residues 271A, 292 V, 591 K, 627 K/V/A, 701N, in PB2 (28, 30, 33-35), and 228S, along with the #virulence-increasing residue 66S in PB1-F2(46), were conspicuously absent in all #HPAI virus strains derived from dairy #cattle and #cats.

    The PB2-627V polymorphism has been found in birds, humans, and mammals worldwide across more than ten AIV #subtypes. Given the escalating global spread of AIVs, it is crucial to closely monitor influenza viruses carrying PB2-627V to prevent a pandemic.

  9. #PB2 residue 473 contributes to the #mammalian #virulence of #H7N9 avian #influenza virus by modulating viral #polymerase activity via ANP32A, J Virol.: doi.org/10.1128/jvi.01944-23

    -- In this study, we identified PB2 residue 473 as a new determinant of mouse virulence and mammalian #adaptation of the viral polymerase of the H7N9 virus and its non-pathogenic #H9N2 counterparts.

    -- Whole-genome characterization of the viruses reveals the presence of #mammalian adaptive #marker #E627K in two Afro-tropical resident aquatic #ducks. This has zoonotic potential.

  14. @christinebeeton imagine if that had been one of our wedge tailed #eagles. Another of our iconic #wildlife #species with females standing up to 42" tall. Huge #birds. Beautiful to see.

    An Australian #farmer would have shot it and hung it on a fence.

    Anyone ever heard the expression "a #kangaroo short in the top paddock"?

    It means not all there. Something's missing in the DNA that makes Australian #fharmers personally responsible for the greatest #mammalian #extinctions on the planet. Ever.

    Australian #agriculture is only ever about #killing things. Even #grain growers. Everything gets #killed, that can't directly become a dollar.
