Host-specific differences in the membrane fusion activity of influenza A viruses

The transmission of influenza A viruses from avian to other species involves numerous adaptive processes to overcome the species barrier. One major determinant of host-range restriction is the viral hemagglutinin (HA). HA plays a crucial role in virus entry into the host cell by mediating receptor-b...
