New Research Topic: Influenza Viruses: Current challenges
Influenza viruses pose a significant threat to poultry populations and human health, with sporadic outbreaks and the potential for pandemic emergence. Traditional vaccine development approaches have faced challenges in achieving broad-spectrum protection due to the high mutation rate of the virus. Thus, updates of influenza research findings are critical for...
